Wii issues continued



I went to Nintendo's website. The short trouble-shooting page recommended that it needed repair. I called in for repair and got a snotty young girl who suggested it was the TV.




Here are some pictures. If it is the TV, time for a return, but then why does the HD and even normal programming look better than this?

Don't take this the wrong way bro. I know it may sound stupid, but do you have the appropriate wii cables for HD? I only ask because I think the problem lies in the connecting of the wii to the TV.

No worries, any insight is welcome.

I bought the component (red, green, blue) cables from Radio Shack. These pictures were taken using those cables. I don't believe HDMI cables are available for the Wii, so that's as good quality as I can get.

Now, they aren't Nintendo brand, they're a third party, but I can't imagine the difference would account for that much.

I did plug the Wii back into my old TV just to see if it's in my head. The images are smaller, but they are much smoother. Not more detailed at all, just smoother, which is all I want.

I would try this...Buy the nintendo brand cables, check it out, if the result is the same,you can always return them. You never know, there could be a difference. It's worth a shot
