Best Possible Picture for Wii

Hi all,

First post, so just wanted to say hi. So.....hi!

Right here's the thing. Obviously, I want the best possible picture out both the Wii console and my DVD player. This would of course be 480p. However, my equipment is annoying, so I could do with some help on what is optimal in my setup.

I have:

TV - LG 32" WE32Q101P (not LCD or plasma - don't bother looking it up, there's no useful info on the net). Basically, it has 2x Euro Scarts (1 capable of RGB signal), S-video, Composite, and VGA (640x480). However, one of the AV channels lists itself as "Component" which is confusing, as I don't have the red, green and blue jacks.

DVD - Samsung SV-DVD640 - 2 Scarts (I "think" both RGB, but could be wrong), Composite, S-Video, Digital Audio Out

Basically, I want both DVD-player and Wii to be optimal (480p or closest to), but with only 1 RGB accepting Scart on the TV, that's gonna be hard. What do you guys suggest? S-video, RGB, Component with a RGB Scart adaptor, VGA?

Thanks you for the reply.

However, as stated above, I do not have component inputs.

Are you saying that component cables with an RGB adaptor such as this http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/YUV-RGB-SCART.html will give a better picture than an RGB Scart cable?

What do you mean the "adaptor input"?

My TV has one RGB Scart input. It does not have component inputs. We are not even sure my TV can output a component signal at all. Are you sure that component cables with an RGB adaptor is better than an RGB Scart cable?

Hi Mark

Did you manage to get your TV to work with component input? I have the same one and am trying to rig up an HDMI lead to it.

Cheers

Hi Mark

Yes, it looks like our TV does support component input through SCART even though it is not documented. I found this out by reading the engineers manual which talks about a DVD mode that supports Y, Pb, Pr through Scart 1.

Hold down OK and OK on both the remote and the TV for 5 seconds+ and you can enter diagnostics mode. Press the Yellow button I think to ensure that DVD mode is on, and you should be fine.

I have my Apple TV running through SCART this way just fine :-)
