I connected my Wii through normal component cables to my new LG LED tv.. It works, but there is a delay that makes it basically unplayable. Any ideas?

What model of TV is it? Some televisions have a buffer that they load video into in order to make the video look better, but it causes a slight delay in receiving the image, which of course makes games unplayable. These televisions may have a "game mode" that you can switch to that will bypass the filter. You can also try switching it to progressive scan, which may also avoid the delay.

O_o Weird, this is a new one. Did you go into the settings to make sure all your video output options were set correctly? Are the cables connected directly to the TV or running through something else? Is it a TV with lots of "apps" or whatever they're calling TV widgets these days? If it was going through a DVR, this would make some sense, but not if connected directly. I've never heard of a poor refresh rate making a game unplayable even if it does make the games annoying, but maybe this TV has a REALLY poor refresh rate?

47LE5350 - there is a game mode, and it helps, but not enough on Guitar Hero. The Wii is plugged in directly. There are a few widgets - I use the Netflix one. Thanks for the help.
