Ok here are some questions for the HD know it all people... What is better S-Video cords or Component Video cords. Also what resolution do they each support. Do they support progressive scan?
Can somebody please post some pictures of the rear of the Wii?

Component video cables are better than S-video, although it's not a horribly noticeable difference on my TV, but then again my TV is an off brand 27" tube TV, so you may see more of a difference if you have a Sony TV or something like that.
As for resolution, sorry, I don't know that, but I believe Component gives you 480p.

Sovieto is an idiot to think that all this hardware talk is crap. Knowing how the TV and the input system works is an important part of watching TV - if you don't know how to connect a tv to anything (even an antenna or a powerpoint) you'll very likely to have a useless piece of sh!t that doesn't do what you want because you didn't know how to use the basics of connecting stuff together.
These kinds of people who don't know how tvs connect to other peripheral devices (Input/Output etc) must not know how a computer works then... How will they learn in a technology dominated society that relies on computer networks to do everything for them?
I had a look at the back of the Wii and all I can see is the standard composite cable connection (the grey/black plug on the rear of the Wii). The thick white connection cable appears to be the power plug. I'm not sure of the thin wire round connection cable... Anyone enlighten me on that?

It's the sensor bar I think.

Correct. The only resolution supported by any standard def signal is 480p. Only HD component, DVI, and HDMI can go higher.

one big factor is the progressive versus interlaced also, 480i is standard def(interlaced), 480p is enhanced(progressive) the Wii supports both, so on your HDTV you can play say LOZ:TP in 480p and get pretty good quality for the resolution, if you want the exact differences in interlaced vs. progressive scan goto wikipedia, thats too much to type out, and chances are mpeg4 will be supported since the gamcube supported it, which means high quality video for little space, my question is I heard somewhere there was going to be monitor out from the Wii direct has anyone heard this official? If so then I can get the progessive scan support without paying an arm and leg.

As far as I know, no. I've said this in a few other threads, but I don't mind saying it again. I contacted Nintendo a while back and asked them the same question and here's their exact response:
Quote:
The specs I have for Wii indicate that it will have one multi-out port for component, composite, or S-video. If your computer monitor accepts one of these inputs, you should be able to use your computer monitor as the Wii display. Another option is to install a video capture card in your computer. However, the video capture cards often introduce delays with can negatively impact the playability of video games using that method. Most people will have the best results in using Wii with a TV display.

So, if your monitor has one of these inputs, you can connect Wii to it.
Hope that helped.

I hope the Wii doesn't have blocky lines, but since it's nex-gen i hope it will look almost perfect (probably won't since you can basically see every detail on a 60 inch hdtv)

Or Wincest. That way it's sexy, and it wins ?
Wow... off-topic much ?
My opinion on the HD topic is that the Wii will look great regardless of TV. I've played all my games with composite, and I've always thought it looked great. Only those who have truly experienced HD can see the difference, and might be bothered with it. I hope soon to have a 50" Plasma HDTV ready, and I'll be able to judge how much nicer things look with component. Honestly, HD, SD, ED, VD, QD, ZD, I don't really care. As long as the games look nice for what they're running on, and as long as the gameplay keeps me enthused, which from the looks of it would seem to be the case.
Just enjoy the Wii for what it is; God.

back to the topic, I really think it's due to the size of your telly and I think it's the same for watching TV, so it's better to sit further back. Despite Wii is not HD supported, I still think the graphics is still nice with the graphics upgrade since gamecube.

the tv automatically upgrades it to 720p or 1080p depending on what your tv's native display is
and the wii has 480p wich is roughly 2x as good as sd(480p has 854x480 and 480i has half of that, displaying half of it on one frame and the other half on the next)
