Connecting my Wii to my monitor

Crana · Sep 21, 2008

What do I need to be able to play my Wii on my monitor? It has both DVI and VGA input. I've asked at a few shops but they don't stock stuff like this :bang head

You need something like this: http://www.vdigi.com/index.php?page...ion=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1

Alternately, if you're using a computer (i.e. you have this monitor plugged into your computer and you want to play your console that way) you can grab yourself a TV Tuner card and do it that way. I used to do that, and it worked out famously with my Gamecube and PS2.

Hey Oni, kind of on-topic, but what TV tuner card did you use for your PS2 and GameCube? I still play both of those systems because there's a lot of games I need to catch up on, and thought about using one to play at my computer.

I actually used the cheapest one I could find. Any of them will work so long as they support the correct inputs.

The reviews are terrible, though

I've read nothing good about that adaptor. Plus, I'd rather not buy a tuner card.

Sorry to tell you this, Super Fudge but that's the same cable as Oni recommended

I'm gonna drive to a local electronics store soon to see if they have anything in stock because that Wii/PS3 - VGA cable doesn't seem to be that great

but the one Oni linked is out of stock and the other one comes from Hong Kong. The one I linked is in stock and does not have to be shipped internationally. Sorry Crana and Oni but you BOTH lost the game.

Damn you!

Bah, forget it, I don't want to settle for a crap quality converter, so I'll just use my TV. Thanks anyway guys.

Oni, was there much lag through your tv card?

I used my GC through a tuner card on my pc for a while and found the lag unbearable, but if there were some way to do this lag free, that'd be great..

I never experienced lag of any kind, be it audio or video. Both my GC and PS2 ran flawlessly in this configuration

Try running your tv tuner through Media Player Classic.
