Use a Wii to Watch High Definition Content

Unlike most modern gaming systems, the Wii doesn’t have an HDMI port and that means it doesn’t play 1080p content. The default A/V cable which comes with the Wii only outputs a 480i video signal. If you connect your Wii with an optional component cable, it can output a 480p signal. But that is still not enough for HD content. The Wii hardware is not cable of outputting video in 1080p or 720p.
