Wii help..

[Chainsaw]

So, this is a little embarrassing, but here goes.. I bought a nice, new Samsung UN55C7000, but I don't know how to hook up my Wii to it. The Wii's component cable has THREE video plugs and TWO audi plugs, but this TV only has ONE hole for component video and ONE hole for component audio. Aren't there supposed to be five? I'm like, WTF, am I crazy?

Nice TV!

I weep when I see someone with a TV that nice not connecting things to it with HDMI cables.

If they're things that can't generate HD output anyway (like, say, a Wii or a standard DVD player), who cares?

What a shame it is that we can't see all the square bushes and octagon tree-trunks that a typical Wii game has to offer in high-def.

Thinking seriously about grabbing SMG2 though! A game that has a 98 metacritic out of 40 or so reviews has to be worth a shot, eh?

The sad truth of the matter is that the Wii doesn't even support HDMI. You would need a third party converter. It is my only current generation media device hooked up to a TV with low-def cabling.

FWIW, my HDTV is what was a 'cheap' 42" 1080p LCD a few years ago (meaning it was a little over a grand then), and so only has two HDMI inputs; if I ever get a 3rd HD device (currently just a 360 and a cable box/DVR; the DVD player is conventional and so I don't care that it's on composite), it'll have to be stuck on component.

Or you could get a receiver that has multiple HDMI inputs.
