How to Install a Wii Game on a Flat Screen TV

The Nintendo Wii offers two types of video connection: AV and component. Included with the Nintendo Wii is a standard AV cable, which is ideal for regular, standard definition TVs. Most flat screen HDTVs support standard AV connections. Ideally, for flat screen HDTVs, you'll want to use a component connection. The component connection offers the best video quality for flat screen HDTVs and will look noticeably better than a standard AV connection.
