If you call 480p HD becuase thats all the Wii kicks out.

Exactly what I was gona say. The Wii is standard def mate, nothing more.

So if i run it through my sony Av amp that upscales all signals to 1080 will i see a difference then?

Not if the game runs in 480 mate.

you cant increase quality over the original.


try grabbing a low res pic off the internet and stretching it full screen, thats all your sony av amp will do

Yep!

Your sony av amp will upscale the image to 1080 then your tv will either keep it at 1080 or downscale it to 720 depending if its full HD or not.

This is no different to your tv upscaling it to 1080 directly from the the Wii, does your sony amp upscale component analog inputs?

TV's display at there native resolution thats why its pointless to upscale an image using an amp to 1080 if your tv is only HD ready(720) as the tv will only have to downscale the image again which can often lose quality.

I don't know how that particular AV amp works, but upscaling devices use some clever algorithms and interpolate the image (e.g. they guess what colour pixels should be between other pixels, rather than stretching a 1x1 pixel into a 2x2 pixel, it may subtly shade the pixels or turn some on/off based on their neighbour's states - to give the illusion of an improved resolution) - they don't simply stretch an image to fill a screen - the non-upscaled image would fill the screen anyway, it tries to sharpen it.

yup, i fully accept that, its simular to Quincunx FSAA (full screen anti-aliasing) on a computer. ignoring the standard forms of FSAA, Quincunx uses is an algorithm that the graphics card uses to increase the pixel count over that of an original frame, however it is not totaly acurate to what could possibly have been in the original "missing" pixel area.

And i dare say thats what the Sony AV unit does. It bumps the pixels, but the image displayed will not be accurate, colours will be off, it will have soft edges when directly compared to a genuine HD original and the quality will not increase, but it will look a little more pleasing to the eye than without it.............but that is only if the av box actualy does what ive just suggested it might.......else my previous post probably still stands.



now for a bit of a pondering Phip moment-

if your putting 480i or p into the Sony AV i would have thought it will be passable but not particulary better than putting it on a normal screen. if your putting 720i or p in then you would probably have better results but theres not compromise for the full 1080p

(note for those who dont know, the letter "i" after a number indicates "interlaced" meaning half the resolution cleaverly displayed using interlacing to produce the illusion of full resolution. the letter "p" after a number signifies that the full resolution can genuinly be displayed in full constantly. "p" is your friend! )

I'm told a Wii with component lead is a far better picture than with the ordinary video input.

It might not be full HD but it's better than SD.
