Wii TV Connection

Kiith

I'm trying to get my nephews Wii working over Christmas, as they haven't been able to connect it to the TV for a while. Don't have mine anymore to check it, but the normal tv cable out of the box is the standard Red/Yellow/White cable (called a Phono cable from what i can see), right? They don't have the right connection on the tv for this, but i could just buy one of the below scart connections and it'd work wouldn't it?

What kind of TV is it?

The picture quality will largely be determined by the type of connection you use and the type of TV.

If you can, an RGB SCART cable for the Wii will give a better picture quality than the phono/SCART combination, which is "composite" signal.

If it's an plasma/LCD/LED TV, and has the inputs, a component cable will give you the best possible picture from it.

Composite is the red/white audio and yellow video cables. Component will have 5 phono type connections, that will be red/white audio cables, and separate red/blue/green video cables.
Composite gives a kind of "muddy" picture quality, component is much sharper and cleaner, with better colours.

yes

No component on it as far as i know, and only a scart connection. To be honest, i don't mind if the quality isn't great...they are ages 5 and 7 so they won't know any better :P

The Argos one i linked apparently works fine, so i think i'll just go with that.

that will work fine, you only need the scart block

yeah, my brother uses the composite to euroscart method.
