Suitable Television for Wii?
I wondered if anyone had experience with TVs that work well with the Wii? Basically, the requirements are really slim:
-Support component inputs
-Supports at least the 480p resolution (is EDTV the term for that?)
-Should be widescreen/have a 16:9 ratio (I think some games support 4:3 only but the majority seem to be fine with 16:9)
My Wii looks awful on my Hitachi 53UWX10BA through component. But granted, so do the Xbox 360 and PS3 because it's a rather old television that supports 540p/1080i max. I'm thinking about replacing that television with something nicer, but that's mainly for the 360 and PS3's sake.
I have an old Sony PVM 2030 which is a "professional grade" (oh, how fancy!) monitor used back in the day by television studios and as medical monitors (I see some on sale for medical purposes on eBay still, don't know if anyone in the field actually uses them though). For gaming purposes it has inputs for analog RGB so it's great for making old systems look awesome, but the S-Video support on it is really good too. I ran the Wii through S-Video on this television and it looked quite a bit better than the Hitachi HD/EDTV, even though it was running at 480i opposed to 480p.
So does anyone run their Wii through a cheaper, smaller television with 480p support? Are there any solid recommendations (considering both price and picture quality)? Thanks for any help, it's appreciated!
