Wii Upconversion: The question here is how good is the to HDMI upconversion from the 360 analalog 1080P and from the Wii 480P?

If you want the upconversion to 1080p, it's best to go through the receiver.

This system will upconvert to 1080i, but only when using HDMI. It isn't a very good upscale, however, and seems quite blocky for picture quality. This came as a bit of a shock as the PS3 upconverts and upscales so well for DVD's that they almost appear to be in high def. Don't get this system for it's DVD playback capabilities!

It doesn't up convert to 480p, no. It's basically used to clean up the picture quality by converting to Component. I used this, along with a custom cable, to hook up my old Sega Genesis. The picture definitely came through much brighter and clearer when compared to the original.

I solved this. There is no upscaling of HDMI, thats they way it should be. I solved this for older SD DVDS that I play on my blue ray like this, I hooked up a second set of connections and when its old DVDs I switch the receiver to DVD instead of blueray and the upscaler makes them look very much better than just normal DVDs. When I say switch I mean just like you switch the receiver from one component to another its that simple. I am really liking my investment with this receiver.

So, "Analog to HDMI upconversion" basically means its going to take the old analog signal (or picture/audio quality) and convert it into a digital signal, (480i to 480p) which means that you will have a much better video/audio quality. Everything will look and sound better, basically. I hope this helps answer your question. Happy Holidays!!!

Yes, you can select 1080p on your 360 and it will work fine. I have both and did it.

In my experience, the picture quality varies depending on the source. Just for reference, my TV is a 32 inch Sony, and the picture might look different on something else. My Wii (component 480p) and my DVD player (component 480p) look really good upscaled to 1080p. My PS2 (component 480i, 480p, 1080i) strangely looks better upscaled to 1080i and is sometimes a little off balance. My N64 (composite 480i) looks decent upscaled to 1080p. My Gamecube (composite 480i) and PS1 (composite 480i) look kind of noisy and blurry and are not centered on the screen exactly. My NES. (composite 480i) doesn't really change much. I hope this helps!

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Yes. I have been watching both native 4K and 1080p upscaled to 4K and although I can tell the difference, I am still very impressed with the up conversion.

Again, like the previous answer, I'm not quite sure I understand your question also. But as for my answer this unit does not up convert the signal. For example, I used this because my components stopped working so I needed a way to connect my xbox 360 again to the tv. I had plug in this unit to my HDMI port and then plug my xbox 360 into the component input on the unit. Therefore, I had a way to watch/play games again. Hopefully that makes sense.

I'm going to purchasing this adapter to convert from RCA to HDMI for a Wii. I'm hoping it works.However, I did come across and adapter that was HDMI to RCA (the other way around). I noticed the difference in input to output of the two different adapters. You might want to check that the input and output are in the right order for the right adapter.

I bought the HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b when I bought my upscaling DVD player and I connected it to my LG LCD HDTV. I keep getting a distorted picture. What am I doing wrong?

Not on a regular Wii. The Wii can only go up to 480p. The WiiU goes to 1080i. I bought this for my WiiU since I had now have to use it's HDMI slot for my Cable box.it supports 1080i On the WiiU, but the wii can only go up to 480p

It should since the ViewHD device upgrades your Wii 480p signal to 1080p which is no different than what an upscaling DVD player does. If you get audio and video with a upscaling DVD or Bluray player connected you should be good to go. If in the end it doesn't work with the Wii, you can always take one of your HDMI cords and connect it directly to your receiver with the other end to the ViewHD device which connects to the Wii. Good luck.

Does anyone know anything about the function of "upconvert" on this receiver? Will it upconvert any video inputs at all?

It is. You just can't tell because there is only so much that up-conversion can do. It isn't some magic wand that suddenly turns 480p into 1080p. All it does is enhance what is there, if there isn't enough there to be properly enhanced you wont see much difference.
