HDMI Cable Problem

I recently got an HDMI cable for my Wii after purchasing a 47" LCD 1080p. I have a situation though.

I've inserted the red, white, blue, and green cables into the AV1 outlets. When turning on my Wii, the colors are all inverted. If I move around the green and blue cords a bit, the color will change, sometimes to black and white, other colors etc. Very rarely have I ever been able to set it to the true color format. Even when I did, it's not in HD. I went to the Wii Settings and did everything up there.

Also, the screen never fits how it is suppose to, even after I change every setting I can to improve it.

After doing that, the screen still didn't fit how it was suppose to, and the color keeps turning inverted every once and awhile.

What can I do to solve this?

The Wii does not support 1080p resolution, or anything beyong 480p for that matter.

re: HDMI Cable Problem

So what your saying is that I cannot play my Wii on my new TV, in it's true form?

re: HDMI Cable Problem

In short, no. There is no "true form" for the Wii as it doesn't support HD resolutions. The closest thing to your "true form" would be 480p.

HDMI carries audio and video along a single port. You do not have a HDMI cable, but rather a component video cable. You should be able to get 480p (EDTV) output from the Wii just fine.

Ensure all you're placing the outputs into the right ports. Note that Red/Green/Blue carries video while Red/White is stereo sound. You might be confusing the two red coloured outputs with one another! Also, in the Wii's settings menu, make sure you've activated both the widescreen and 480p modes.

Let us know how it all goes.

re: HDMI Cable Problem

You should just settle for the Component cables. Even if you picked up some kind of cable to us your TV's HDMI port with the Wii, it's only going to go as great as the analog end which is all the Wii supports.
