Will a Nintendo wii work on an led tv?

I've dug my wii out which I used on my old CRT tv but now I've got a Samsung Ue40d7000 led tv and was wondering if it's compatible. I know I will have to connect via av but was wondering will i need to change any setting on the tv to get the best quality picture? Thanks

    It will work as long as you have the correct input available.

    It may not look great and the TV may try to resize it as many new TV's try to do clever things with the picture but it will work.
  • It will work fine but will resize to 576p or 480p

    We use our Wii on a plasma TV and it is fine. You'll want to get the Wii AV cable, and in the settings menu there is an option for HD TV (480p) which gives a better picture on those games that are compatible.
