Hooking a Wii up to a VGA port?

2262 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Flux
I'm looking to get my Wii hooked up again for some classic gaming, but I want it hooked to my I-Inc iF281D 28" rather than my TV. I have the Wii component cable, but the monitor only has an occupied HDMI port and an open VGA port, so I am looking for something to turn this component signal into a VGA signal and retain the 480p resolution.

I found this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

Looks ok, but I have no idea because the description mentions a bunch of stuff I have no idea about.

If anyone could help me out with finding either a cable or a dongle to switch that would be great.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Or, could I use a DVI-to-component dongle to hook the Wii up to my video card? Would this even work? What would my computer do?

Also, I'm ******ed, that cable listed wouldn't work. I need 5 female component connectors with a VGA on the other side.

This is what your looking for. This cable does the Wii and PS3, no need for any other cables or switch, just plug and go.

Amazing, thank you. Going to try and find a slightly cheaper version though
