Wii is probably outputting 480p, and your TV is very likely 1080p. It doesn't scale perfectly at a 1:1 ratio, and that can cause things to look off.

If your TV is 720p, force the Wii to output 240p, as it's a perfect 3x scale. it will look better.

Just buy an android box and pair a dualshock 3 to it.

I use a wii2HDMI and have it running at 480p with no upscaling. Best way to play imo.

Im playing on a 1080p TV, you are right. Would the mismatch in scaling really cause it to display noise though?

>>3721471
Can you change it to a 4:3 ratio instead of displaying it as 16:9?

>>3721479

Yeah, I tried that and it still looks noisy. My S video dosen't seem to work on it either which could be related.

>>3721481
Well, what >>3721468 said is pretty valid.

Component is an analogue signal, which means that your tv is converting it to digital. HDMI is already digital and will be a cleaner picture.

Fucking used to be so much easier with old CRTs. This shit is stupid complicated these days.

Think its possible that my wii is a piece of shit?

OP hasn't switched his Wii to 480p since he just got component cables.

OP has switched it to 480p already.

I tried a set of cables that work for both ps3 and wii. I got the same noise from both consoles. So it's not the cable or the console causing it.

Im gonna say that the TV is creating the noise since the noise remains the same across different consoles and cables. Is this possibly what it is vr?

If the only constant is the tv then that's it.

It's your tv's analog inputs. Probably a bad solder point.

Is this a common issue? Do many HDTVs cause noise on its analogue inputs?

This TV is a Hisense brand. I've noticed that there is an electric hum com.ing from it whenever it is on. The hum changes in pitch and intensity depending on what is shown on the screen.

For example: When using my PC in game mode, almost no hum.

When the TV is just lowered on with no input, it has a lot of hum. If it is displaying the built in nextflix, it stills hums but to a lesser extent.

Also, changing the setting from game mode to power saving to theatre mode etc... The pitch and I tensity of the hum will also change. The picture always looks fibe for digital signals.

Is this TV a piece of shit? Did I buy a lemon?

Not knocking your TV, but I have read that Hisense is a bargain brand. I.e. not exactly renowned for being synonymous with quality. Nowadays, this probably matters less than it did when HDTVs were first being produced though. How old is your TV?

But yeah, analogue to digital isn't going to be as smooth a transition as digital to digital. HDMI from the same source will be cleaner than Component every time, barring some weird scenario like long 30-foot runs of cable where HDMI will start to have issues.

Anyway, don't obsess over this stuff. It will lead you to getting a CRT, and everyone will think you're fucking nuts. Speaking from experience here.

I have a fucking "Ilo" branded 40" 720p plasma in my mancave that I got at Goodwill for $10. I lugged it home and tested it before installing it with my 360 over component and it worked beautifully and I also hooked it up via VGA to my secondary and retro gaming computers and once I lobotomized the ID pin on the VGA cable I was able to set it to modes that look pretty nice on it (though I still haven't positively identified its native resolution).

When I got my X'Eye and tried to hook it up via Svideo the fucker hummed like you wouldn't believe, crackled even and there was scary amounts of interference. If I let it actually switch into "TV Tuner" mode it can get stuck and become completely nonresponsive - not even coming back from being unplugged unless left for an hour or more for the coils to discharge completely (and sometimes needing dozens of tries at coming from "off" to "standby"). The HDMIs don't seem to work either like at all just black screen on them. It seems to only work properly in analog progressive scan modes which I guess I just got lucky as being the only way I really ever intended to use it. Back when I still had satellite TV I used a video capture card to watch through the PC.

I bought a new power supply for it for like $25 and it mostly fixed the return-to-standby problem but not any of the signal problems. I have another 40" LCD in the basement I paid some local Craigslist scammer too fucking much for and never got working. He later tried to sell my wife a tablet PC and me a desktop both with much shittier specs than he advertised I really should have taken pics of him and his shitty V6 Charger to post as caveat emptors.

But yeah, consider shopping for a new TV. My girls down at the pawn shop hooked me up a year age with an LG 60" plasma that had only been dropped once - minor cosmetic corner damage, blown out pedestal mount and one malfunctioning HDMI port. Only $200 with a 30-day warranty. Shop around. 1080p TVs are getting cheap

Reminder that any Wii2HDMI device you can find just takes the component signal from your Wii, converts it to HDMI, then outputs that to your TV. It's still analog -> digital conversion, so it shouldn't be any more clean than component cables. It's an item of convenience.

That being said, it is possible that your TV sucks at handling analog signals but can handle any signal over HDMI just fine.
