Hi all

need some help with the wii and my HDTV...

i have a Samsung LE40R51B LCD and i also have a 360 but the LCD only has one set of component inputs.

So is there any why i can connect both the Wii and the 360 and still get a good picture from the wii. And will i still get 480p?

This has put me at a right dylema i mean i could just unplug it every time but surley there must be another option. Can you not get something that gives you more component outputs like a breakout box or something?

Thanks for any help

Buy the microsoft vga cable for the 360 and connect it to the tv using the vga port on it.

Leaves the component input free for the wii

If you have a VGA port on the TV you could use component on the Wii and VGA on the 360.

edit: great minds think alike

I wouldn't bother with any of that, just get the MS VGA cable for your 360. There's not much difference in the quality, VGA may be a little sharper compared to more vibrant colours over component.

Personally I prefer VGA.

If your getting the VGA cable for the 360 make sure you get the official Microsoft one.

looks like VGA then

thanks for all the replys guys will be a lot cheaper then getting the control center anyways.
I might get that at another time when there is a need for it.
