Wii's max resolution?

So 480p in 4:3 mode is 640 X 480. Wii also has a 16:9 mode, now does that stretch and keep the same the resolution and scale the image, or does it up the resolution and scale?

Basically, is Wii's maximum resolution 852 X 480 or 640 X 480?

Playing games on my computer at 852 X 480 with a centered (and smaller) view this resolution looks perfectly fine and not really lacking like 4:3 does, so it might change my mind in buying Wii if it supports this resolution.

I'm pretty sure most Wii games render to anamorphic 640x480 when they do widescreen.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]I remember reading that only some are anamorphic and most are true widescreen. But I think that refers to scale or ratios more than resolution

All I know is that Wii games on average look worse on my TV in wide screen, than they do in 4:3 ratio.SteveTabernacle

720x 480, but the frame buffer chip actually allows up to 854x480. It also does have (as u stated) anamorphic widecreen, but only when GC games are being run.

Looks perty pixey when upscaled, I just use it with a small sdtv and pretend is hd, is a pretty sharp trinitron last of its kind.
