Wii component cable

Well i just received mine in the post today so i gave it a try along with Pro evo 2008 and...

I was so disapointed. I have a 50" Plasma HDTV, and all the players look really rough and jagged and all nasty...but the wii menu's and everything is so much clearer than before. I have changed my Wii to output 480p.

Is this normal?

The standard composite looked better than this!

Sounds normal, things will be much sharper but you have to remember the res is still only a lowly 480p, which result in jaggies.

Most stuff is fine, particularly bright, cartoony games, but don't expect HD levels of niceness. It makes stuff like No More Heroes look absolutely awful though.

Thanks for that, i wouldn't have wasted my money if i knew it was going to be this bad. Looks truly AWFUL with Pro 2008, haven't tried any other games yet as i have work to do..

Anyone else with pro 2008 and a component cable; does it look terrible as well?

Decrease sharpness on your TV. You can't expect 640*480 to look amazing on a 50" TV.

Will give that a shot. I wasn't expecting it to look amazing, was just expecting an improvement over composite really.

Another thing is i have black bars on the sides of some of my games, pro evo being one of them. I have set my Wii and Tv to 16:9. Is this normal as well?

Might just be lazy developers.

Anything like the PC version and this will indeed be true.

Any settings within the game as regards display?
