Adjust your TVs zoom settings. If your TV lacks those, adjust the Wii's over scan settings. If THAT doesn't work, get a better TV.

It must be your video board or driver. My video was already set to max resolution and it started in max with no additional adjustment.

stopped working for me too. I bet the xmas spike caused their servers to fall over. has anyone figured out how to skip the viera cast screen and just go direct to Amazon VOD? hey Amazon, if you're reading this, ask your OEM partners to include a VOD button that skips their crappy software and goes direct to Amazon.

I use a displayport cable for the best quality. When reduced to 1920x1080 it still takes up the whole screen and somewhat stretched the image out. I dont think its possible to put black bars on the side

the Wii resolution is 480P and you cant change the resolution of the Wii only the tv aspect ratio. On the actual converter there is a little switch which you can change the resolution from 720p & 1080p. I basically plugged this converter in made sure the resolution setting was at 1080p, connected the hdmi cable to it and then to tv and that was it. It worked perfectly. Its may be possible that you recieved a faulty unit.

When I tried using the composite upconversion for the Wii, the picture looked terrible! It was very grainy and there were bars on all 4 sides. I have since bought a componet cable for the Wii and the picture quality is much better but there are still bars around the picture. When the Wii is connected directly to my 55" Sony LCD, it looks perfect. I called Sony support and they thought the receiver was defective so I exchanged it for a new DH820, and had the same results.

Yes, it appears to be an articaft of the cable network's use of 1080i instead of 1080p. The artifact does not show up under BluRay which is 1080p. (Just in case you didn't know, the "i" is an interlaced picture scan - only every other line is sent for one picture frame. Rapid transitions force the unsent lines to be seen as blank lines. (Very simple explanation, but it'll suffice for now.)

I'm assuming you are using an HDMI cable carrying the video, if so try changing to another video input on your tv.

I bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.

I'm not sure you can, this seems to be the revised version. To my knowledge Amazon was threatened w/ a lawsuit from I'm not sure who but according to the reps at Elgato capture selling HDMI strippers as the action itself was illegal. I'm not sure if that somehow affects your situation but the ones I purchased also didn't work but for a few hrs.

I looked up your television model you only have one slot for component cables just plug in the matching colors red to red white to white green to green blue to blue etc. Cables work great. Make sure to change wii settings to 480p under settings

Thanks Jacob. That was the conclusion I came to as well after spending several hours researching. The standard cables that came with the Wii will not work correctly on the TV. I ordered the cable from monoprice.com for less than $3 so hopefully they will work fine.Again, thanks and happy holidays!

Are you sure you are watching on the correct output? AV rather than cable or something else? We have had the same problem with the wii on a different TV and switching the chosen output solved the problem.

you need to download a patch from the EZCAP website cant remember the link. It is a software issue with the program used to convert the video.

What the device does is scale an SD image to an HD resolution...or just blow up the image to fit the screen properly, its not true HD as its an SD image scaled. If you have netflix and an HDTV, might I suggest purchasing a Roku 2 box, its smaller and does HD content which the Wii does not.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

In short, No. These cables are a simple pass-through/straight type cable, not a signal conversion. HDMI = digital; component/composite = analog. So the signal being passed through is digital.If your tv has the ability to convert the digital signal to analog via component/composite ports, then this cable will work. Again the cable cant do any converting. Hope this better answers your question. (Update: I tried it on my nephews Wii U (hdmi out from Wii u to component tv) and when changing the wii display setup to hdmi, selected 720 (what his tv supported) or auto, Wii U said not supported and reverted back to his non-hdmi settings) In short, No. These cables are a simple pass-through/straight type cable, not a signal conversion.
