So i have my Nintendo Wii hooked to my Sharp LCD HDTV with composite hookups (yellow, white, red) and the screen is extremely washed out and hard to read any text. I tried adjusting the backlight, the brightness, the contrast on my HDTV. Nothing gives and remains washed out. THe reason I feel its the console and not my display is this...whenever I click on something on the Wii menu (i.e. Wii Options) it transitions to the link, however when it transitions everything becomes readable and perfect for the split second. Its as though the nintendo wii has built in contrast and brightness that is too high. Anyone know of a way to deal with this...im hoping some component cables will clear this up but that will have to wait till I get them.
