HD Possible? Or at least widescreen? or does it lock you into 480i?

Yes it is possible but just with component cables, wii is not hdmi compatible

The Wii Mini is capable of widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), but ONLY in 480i with the supplied composite cable. 480p, which is possible on a regular Wii, isn't supported on the Mini. Even component cables from other Wiis will not work on the Mini, meaning you are stuck with 480i and the composite cable only.

It is not capable of any form of HD as it only ouputs 480i via a RCA cable.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking I might wait and see how much the T240HD is when it gets released now, since it will have the actual resolution to display 1080p.

Yes and Yes. It is a fine machine and I am discovering new capabilities all the time. I was originally concerned that the HD tuner was "only" SDTV, but 480 SD is so much clearer than analog that it seems closer to 1080 HDTV than to the old analog. One unexpected benefit is that I can fit so much more programming on a DVD in SD, and I am now glad that it isn't 1080. Suggestion: I record HDTV programs in SP and HQ because they have a higher horizontal resolution, and analog and VHS tapes in the longer playing modes. I am currently watching an HDTV program I recorded last night in SP mode. The recorder automatically squeezed the image to 4:3 and stored it at the higher horizontal resolution. Now I can play it with the TV display in the horizontal stretch mode that turns 4:3 into 16:9. The higher recorded resolution preserves the image quality, and now the aspect ratio is back to original. It looks great on my 1080 HDTV and fills the whole screen. It could have also been recorded in a letterbox mode preserving the aspect ratio for viewing on an analog TV. So many options.

You usually have an option for streaming, on TV and movies there are SD and HD (720) and some HD (1080) streams to pick from, If your TV will upscale SD and HD (720) to 1080p your good to go.

Dude, I've been running my 360 on this. And what can I tell you, it's everything that's on paper, and then some...I've been running games at 720p and 1080i and it's just Liquid Crystal CLEAR.So far, no, it does not introduce any lag.I'm still waiting for the 1080p games that aren't out yet. I expect to be blown away.

I would rather recommend retunrning it and then rebuy it if needed, I bought mine last year and its totally the opposite to your description, works like a charm and displays 1080p, you can even read license plates

I use it in 1080 with my ps3, no problems at all. Haven't tried in other resolutions. Hope this helps you out.

This is just a hard drive with streaming service. So it can handle any resolution. I have been able to stream HD video from this drive with no problems

Hi Titus. I have the Looxcie HD and the video is 1080 instead of 720 and it's wx resistant. The shape is better for what I wanted too. . . .

You can adjust the aspect ratio so that it fills the entire screen, but that would distort the picture somewhat. I like to put it in 4:3 mode, so it looks like a normal picture. Burn-in warnings be damned! But you'll be watching the important stuff through the HD air antenna anyway. I think the SD picture is just okay. It's a bit pixelated (probably because of the size of the TV) and the colors don't seem as sharp as my 23-year old Sony Trinitron. Once you see the HD picture, SD will look that much worse.

So my non-hd movies from other regions would be able to play on this player in the upconversions with no problem? Thanks for the info.

change settings in xbox 360 to display 1080i. though 720p is probably better.

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

I hooked it up to my 46" HDTV and use it to watch movies from Hulu and other TV series (CBS, NBC, etc). The quality in the TV depends on the quality of the video stream: if HD, the quality is excellent, 480 is acceptable.

not possible!...only HDTV with HDMI will work although, you still get decent image.
