Default Wii - What TV type do you use?

I am curious on what types of TV's everyone uses for their Wii's. I'm sure alot of people have multiple systems, so they automatically jump the gun to LCD. But im a CRT fanatic, i just favor in the picture quality. I'm thinking about trying some components on my HD CRT... but don't wanna waist the money if i end up still not liking the picture quality. So what do you use? Discuss.

62" Toshiba DLP also using the Nintendo component cable thingy, it makes a small difference

56" DLP - I, too, use component video but not the Nintendo branded one. It's a cheap aftermarket one. It makes a small different, but not huge. The Wii graphics just aren't great but cartoony games seem to look better than ones that try to be realistic looking.

Just my little 27" with component cables. It looks pretty good and it's fun, so I'm happy with it.

The Wii doesn't do 720p, AFAIK.

What you're seeing is not blocking. Maybe large aliasing.

Yep, the Wii is limited to 480p. It's crazy fun though, so who cares? I still play my NES sometimes.
