A friend of mine just bought a Wii. He has a Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK EDTV. His Uverse box is hooked up with component. It works fine. His DVD/VCR is connected with composite. It also works fine. Due to the lack of inputs on the TV (1 VGA, 1 Component, 1 composite/svideo) The Wii would be connected through the DVD/VCR combo. The problem he's having is the picture from the Wii is slightly distorted, and the text and other images are very difficult to see. It looks like the white is just blasting out of the screen while drowning out anything else on the screen. Especially text. Since he only has 1 TV, I took the Wii to my house to test it and make sure there wasn't a problem with the Wii. It works fine on my TVs. It also behaves the same if I connect it directly to the TV, bypassing the VCR/DVD, so I know that's not the issue. The odd thing is, when you change screens on the Wii it does it's fade out effect, and at the end of the fade out it looks great, so it seems to me that the signal is overdriving the TV. Anyone have any ideas?
