Connecting a WII to a 2010 Samsung LED TV?

4 Comments

I’m having trouble connecting a W II to my new Samsung LED TV. I’ve got the older cables (red,yellow white) and I’m wondering if I have to get the new composite cables, or some other cable to get it to attach to the back, as there are fewer ports to attach things to. Help… Not very TV savvy!

The composite video cable that came with the Wii should work just fine. Just be sure you’re connecting it to the composite video input on the back of the TV. Unfortunately most HDTVs crowd the inputs together and it’s sometimes difficult to know which ones are grouped together. Match the color of the cable to the port on the TV. (yellow to yellow, red to red, white to white)

While the Wii can support component video (uses blue, green red video cables) I really wouldn’t bother as the Wii does not support HD at all, so the picture improvement will be minimal.

    you can use the yellow video cable in place of the hd green video it should still work the same or you could just go to gamestop or radio shack and pick up a set of wii hd cables

    Just get a $20.00 HDMI cable. Don’t let anyone talk you into anything fancier this is all you need.

    @Yvonnah – the Wii doesn’t support HDMI.

    More and more their phasing out s video, composite video… This set also has the quick connect connectors. I gave up and bought component cables.
