I use my Wii to stream Netflix. Will this improve the picture quality of Netflix content?

To a greater extent, YES. The unit takes you from RCA jacks with 720 and up-converts you to 1080i. It's like going form VHS to DVD. The difference is also noticeable when playing wii games. Our grandchildren have the first wii and could tell the difference. WE have had it for 6 months and love it.

It will only be as good as the wii allows it to be. The Wii will only allow 480 dpi even with the wii2hdmi so it will NOT improve the quality of your Netflix! Basically the device is another way besides a/v jacks to connect your device to the tv. Hope this helped... The only HD from Nintendo is the Wii U...

Short answer is no. The picture quality is only as good as the source. The HDMI accessory will be compatible to make the picture bigger and fit your TV, just don't expect HD quality.

No quality improment. It just very much do the conversion so you can use hdmi port

What the device does is scale an SD image to an HD resolution...or just blow up the image to fit the screen properly, its not true HD as its an SD image scaled. If you have netflix and an HDTV, might I suggest purchasing a Roku 2 box, its smaller and does HD content which the Wii does not.

It all depends on the network...on my 3mbps home wifi, netflix works fine, very minimal loading time, no pauses for buffering and good quality...but if I'm on a public network or trying to piggyback on my next door neighbors' wifi (they gave me the password! sometimes at&t; goes down and they have comcast.) then it can be a struggle to get videos to load at all, much less play smoothly. But I don't think the device itself has any particular limitations as to what videos it can stream.

No. Which is fine for us because we hooked this TV up to a Wii console to view Netflix and a Popcorn Hour Network Media Tank to watch YouTube, etc. The Smart TVs will cost you more.

I doubt it. It will not stream Netflix. I gave up on the device and no longer use it. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

Yes, I even connected a 1080P Google Chromecast device to it and streamed Netflix. Looked great.

Mark, Thanks for your information; I find it very useful. I forgot to mention that my goal is to be able to stream my Net Flix subscription movies via my non-HD TV using a Samsung Blu Ray Player. I am not looking for HD Quality video; Standard DVD quality is good enough for me at this time. I understand that a Roku Player will work too.

Yes, it's different than when watching a DVD. With a DVD there's a button on the remote. With Netflix you have to stop the video, which returns you to a window that's one step from browse. Scroll down 2-3 items, select. then scroll back up. not the easiest, but it works. Image quality on WiFi is pretty good, actually better and smoother than on my MacBook Pro.

It's probably your network connection's strength. Netflix is in full HD when I use it on this Tv.

Netflix works better on the TV for me better than it does on any of my other devices. The picture is perfect and the load times are a lot better than my play station for example, depending on your network speed of course

The answer is NO, not on this model. This model came out before Netflix offered 4K with the latest HEVC h.265 codec (compressed video stream).

This will work for a Wii, however, it does not upvert the image. It only makes the output from the Wii the same as the input of the TV; the resolution is still the same. I had to try a few different settings to get the best image possible.

It should since the ViewHD device upgrades your Wii 480p signal to 1080p which is no different than what an upscaling DVD player does. If you get audio and video with a upscaling DVD or Bluray player connected you should be good to go. If in the end it doesn't work with the Wii, you can always take one of your HDMI cords and connect it directly to your receiver with the other end to the ViewHD device which connects to the Wii. Good luck.

Yes. Which is great. Also Netflix and other channels. I purchased this when my wii started to act up

Yes, it will. When my sister visits she watches Netflix on one TV on my Wii U, while I watch it on the second TV with my Xbox. Both are connected through the matrix to the two TVs. Unfortunately, the products that are listed on the item page do different things. If you want it to do what you described, you must buy the "true matrix". If its only a "splitter", it will only display one input on both tvs at a time.

I know that this TV support 1080p but can this also reproduce 480p so i can play my Nintendo Wii?

Streaming the netflix isnt the greatest though. I have had good luck with my wireless internet connection through my playstation 3, but the selection on netflix is horrible. It doesn't do me any good to have the entire setup when I can only download about 5% of the netflix inventory. For example, of the netflix top 100 movies, you can only stream 6 of those movies to your TV. The other 94 movies are available to be shipped on DVD, but not the direct stream to your TV. The concept of direct streaming is misleading, just giving you a heads up!!!
