How do I get a picture from a US (NTSC) wii on a UK TV?

[christiani]

Hey guys.
I've just sold my US (NTSC) wii to a friend, but am at a loss as to what cable I should get him, so he will be able to play it on his television.
The television has a composite, S-video and audio (red and white rca) sockets on the side of the television.
If I bought a rgb scart lead for the television, would I get a picture, or would it be grey etc?
Also, would I get a better picture if I got a wii to composite, or a wii to s-video cable?
I've been using a component cable, plugged into an XCM VGA converter, and played the wii on my pc monitor, so haven't had to tackle this problem yet.
Any info would be great

How old is the TV?

Or more specifically what's the model number?

European TV's have been able to accept NTSC signals for years, but not all of them. Virtually everything now would but older low end ones may not.

Has he got a HDTV or a higher spec TV, like the older CRT based Sony sets?

They tend to be more likely to be able to support 60hz, so it should simply be plug and play no?

if another TV has component use that, it's a standard frequency at 480p

His TV is a higher spec non-HD TV (The big ones you get, which come on a stand). A CRT TV, if that's how I can describe it lol

Hey guys.
I finally got the info about the TV from my mate.
It's a Sony 100hz KV-28FX68U Serial N0: 6014645.
Any ideas guys? I can seem to find any info online so far, you see.

100hz sony should be able to accept a 60hz input (My Parent's one did)

Just use an RGB Scart

The US Wii does not output RGB so an RGB SCART lead will only display a composite picture if you're lucky. The composite picture will probably be stable (TV 60Hz support) and in colour (TV NTSC colour support), but it won't look great.

If you want to get the best picture on that TV, you'll need an S-video cable which are only available on import as the PAL Wii does not support S-video.
