How to Connect a Wii to a Samsung LED TV

The Nintendo Wii supports composite and component video and all Samsung LED TVs include at least one set of composite and component inputs. The Wii is not a high-definition system and lacks the higher resolutions found on other comparable game consoles, so "Component" is the best option for Samsung LED TVs, although a "Composite" connect also works. The Wii component cable is sold separately from the gaming device.

  Connect the rectangular end of the Wii component cable into the "Digital AV Out" port on the back of the Wii. Notice how the opposite end of the component cable is split into two sections. One section has three prongs: green, blue and red. Those are the video cables. The other section has two prongs: red and white AV. Those are the audio cables.
