Wow, this is odd. So the Wii actually displays an error message after selecting the wrong display type? What is the exact error message and what display type did you accidently select.

I know from past experience you can't see any display message or anything if you select the wrong option. What I mean is you have a regular TV and you accidently select the 480p (or was it 480i - for plasmas/lcds) option.

Firstly thanks for replying - would you believe I can't get anything on the screen now - but it said something about the tv recorder is not set to this setting and the screen went black except for this message we cannot use the remotes and can't get back to any menus. Figured factory settings reset was our only option

Mmm...I think the error message is coming from whatever it is you have the Wii hooked into. Are you using a plasma/lcd or a regular TV? Also, what cables are you using (composite - Yellow, Red, White - or component - Green, Blue, Red, White, Red)?

Are you plugged right into the TV or through something else?

Do you have another Tv you could plug it into?

If your Wii is displaying an error message than there's nothing wrong with your Wii's video output. Otherwise it wouldn't be able to display the error message.
