How do I Hook a Wii to an Ensignia LCD?

All Insignia LCD TVs support multiple types of video connections, including: standard AV (audio/video), HDMI and component. Unlike comparable video game the systems, the Nintendo Wii does not support HDMI. On an LCD TV, a component connection is the best option for those looking for display quality. The Wii uses a specific component cable that must be purchased separately (the Wii comes packaged with only an AV cable).
