I would like to hook my Wii up to a projector. The problem is, the projector can only display progressive scan video -- not interlaced.<br> I've bought the component cables for the Wii which support 480p, but you have to switch the Wii to this video mode via a menu. Until you make the change, the signal goes out as 480i. <br> <br> I have it hooked up to my TV now, which does support interlaced video, but not progressive. Seems like I could turn on 480p there, and then hook it up to the projector, but the 480p option is greyed out because I'm hooked up with the original cable which only does 480i. I'm caught in a catch-22.<br> <br> My question: Is there another way to force the Wii to switch over to 480p. Alternately, is there a *cheap* box that can convert the signal for me? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.56233 Fri, 02 Feb 2007 10:06:07 -0800 firstworldproblem JosephHeller nintendo NotAUrinaryTractProblem projector tv video videogame Wii Eddie Mars
