Remember to get a LCD not a plasma. I recommend SONY Bravia.

 

The main thing you have to be carefull of, is the upscale function.

I have a Samsung LE32R86 on which I have a very nice picture for my wii. I chose this model because of its good upscale function. Most of the time, when you read the review on Internet, you will have the quality of upscale interpolation.

But be very carefull with the model you buy : it does not depend only on the brand. For instance, the Sony Bravia D3000 is very nice for a Wii, but the Sony Bravia P3000 has a bad interpolation...

Note also that the full HD TV are often less gifted when it comes to SD signals : don't buy the cheapest models !

The best way is to be sure is to be able to try. I went to Carrefour with my wii and a YUV cable, and I've tested various TV. Don't forget to desactivate all "enhancement" : most of the time, the picture is better without the "dynamic" stuffs...


If you can read French, I wrote a small guide about this, you can read it there :

I have a 40" Samsung 720p LCD and I use the Wii via component too. And I must say the Wii actually produces a very nice picture on it. Its pretty crisp and vibrant, obviously if the game has horrible graphics it looks bad. But the few games that look decent look great on it, there is definitely a massive difference between 480i via scart cable and 480p via component. I wouldnt go with HDMI though, theres no point, stick with component its all you need.

 

sceptre x32bv this tv is basically the cheapest full 1080p tv you can buy (400 at microcenter or 450 at costco as they extend the manufacture's warranty to 2 years) by full 1080p i mean most 1080p tv's in that price range really arnt 1920x1080 resolution but rather downscale the 1080p signal to their smaller resolution

this tv does not do that it is full 1920x1080 for the price of a name brand 720p tv
