Connect Wii to a PC Monitor

Question

Hello everyone, at least those who are reading me...
I’m going to acquire a screen for my PC, here is the description

http://www.surcouf.com/Catalogue/FicheProduit.aspx?TypeAction=goCar&idproduct=9631543

I would like someone to give me a viable solution to connect my Wii knowing that it is in RGB and that the screen is DVI/VGA.

Thanks in advance.

See you later

Hello everyone,

For those looking for how to connect the WII to a PC screen, I have an inexpensive solution (€20) that works!!! (tested by myself ^^)

For those who don't want to read the backstory, here's the link:

http://www.amazon.fr/G-Box-Boitiers-permettant-dordinateur-d%C3%A9finition/dp/B001RCU7NA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314010420&sr=8-1

And for the backstory!!!:
I searched like you all for a way to connect my WII to a PC screen, not wanting to spend about €150 on a TV screen (which, according to sellers from any store, is the best solution...), finding myself in a University Residence and not really having the need for a TV...

I bought a box that costs €20 and performs this little miracle!
Several points that seem very important to me!

First: The box only costs €20, a solution for €20... "No comment"

Second: When you buy the box, in the box, you also receive a YUV cable (which costs €25 at Nintendo and allows you to connect the WII in HD and/or to the box to switch to VGA; the cable alone costs more than the box + the cable in this pack), you also receive a VGA cable and a Jack cable.

Third: The cable allows you to connect an XBOX and a PS3 as well (same YUV cable).

Fourth: The ease of use and the ability to switch between the console display and another display (e.g., PC)

Fifth: No sound issues, a Jack output on the box to connect your speakers ^^

In short, pure happiness for not much!

If I had to find some flaws...
- Is it really HD? Because VGA isn't exactly top-notch image quality, but maybe better than "composite"!
- It’s a bit cluttered with all these VGA cables, etc ^^

There you go for you, the Gaming community, and thanks for the number of times I found the answers I needed on the forums!

Hi, I have the same question as you, except that I want to connect a DVD player and a DTT tuner to the screen. Does anyone know if it's possible?

Hi, I would also like to connect a Wii to a screen like the one from seed33, but I don't know which cable to buy. I was thinking of this one: http://www.connectic.fr/index.php?action=rechercher&mots=+282200, but I'm not sure if it would allow a Wii to work on a PC monitor. If someone could help us...

Thanks.

resolved but expensive

the RGB is not the same as the standard cable that comes out of your Wii
it works with its 3 primary colors + two audio connectors and that will be the only thing that can fit into your DVI port (new PC screens).
so you will need:

and then an adapter from RGB to DVI

all for the modest price of 55 to 60 €....

aiiieee I too have a hard time taking the plunge
and I’m not even talking about the audio connection, that's just for the image
afterwards you will probably have jack adapters or extensions

I would like to be kept informed if anyone has another solution

Hello,

I've got the same issue (no TV and a 24" computer screen that is just waiting for it).

So I've found two possibilities, at a bit high prices (not tested)

I hope it works...

Hello
In general, it is not enough to look for the miracle cable that does everything. The image signal is fully computerized and managed by a computer (VGA)
Since the WII outputs from the "PAL composite video" with a three-color RCA cable: yellow for the PAL composite video and red and white for analog stereo sound, it will never work unless you find somewhere a "converter" for the signal that performs the transformation work, but then we are no longer in the simple adapter cable (price?). You need to re-encode the signal. The simplest solution would be to consider buying a small or medium LCD TV that is equipped, among other things, with a VGA computer input; furthermore, the sound that was overlooked in the process would also find a solution this way. As a bonus, you would have the TV!
The image quality on a small LCD screen is just as good as a computer screen! Finally, you can also find standalone screens for computers (on sale) that have all the necessary inputs, without the TV to avoid paying the license fee
Cheers

Hello
you will find an HDMI cable for the WII and also if you look a bit some PC monitors (be careful + built-in SOUND!!) that have an HDMI and that's it, or alternatively, but don't tell anyone, you buy a flat screen TV with a fake address but you'll keep the receipt anyway for the warranty while it's valid

Hello everyone
I think the VGA converter box to connect to the TV is quite expensive, right?
I would have approached the problem differently, of course it's too late here, there are excellent LCD televisions
with great resolution and most of them have the coveted VGA port, which allows for saving on a TV card that is often not very sensitive, or watching TV while connecting the PC, yes that happens!
bye

Hi, I don't have a Wii yet but I want to buy one too, and like you, I would like it to work with my PC screen... Did you find the solution that works?

Louiigi · Answer

To connect your Wii to your PC, you need a VGA cable with RGB connectors: http://www.beststuff.co.uk/images/hama_3_rgb_phono_to_vga.jpg and then an RGB cable for the Wii: http://img.clubic.com/photo/00410697.jpg.

Then you plug the VGA cable into your PC, connect the Wii cable to the RGB, and then connect everything to the USB port of your Wii.

It's a bit complicated, but it should work.

Xx_Thomas91_xX · Answer

with a converter, you can connect it to a PC monitor. that's what I did with my PS2, it can work with the Wii

graffx · Answer

Just for information to the first poster who wants a PC but not a TV, it seems that the state has also imposed a fee on PCs, except for those who already have a TV in addition, because they noticed this kind of trick to avoid paying this fee just by watching TV on a PC WITHOUT a TV. Poorly expressed, but I hope you understand :)
