    Need to hook Nintendo Wii with PC monitor and other things

    I'm getting a Wii soon and I need some confirmation. The only real place that I can use my Wii would be on my PC, using my 19 "Monitor (Acer AL1916W FLATRON L1919S). I wonder if it is possible and what equipment would have to be used. Someone suggested me that I need a VGA box VDigi Electronics. Apparently, I do not want to go bring one without having any information for sure. Also, I need my computer to be running for this? So please help.

    Any AV VGA box or adapter / cable will work very well. You need to connect the monitor to the transceiver or converter, so now, your system will be nowhere in the equation. Just disconnect the computer and back in when you want to use the computer. AV Audio Video Cable = i.e., yellow, white, red. VGA is the most common way to monitor cable. I am sure this will since it worked for me too so just try this out.

    Well I cannot prove entirely the video conversion is for Sweden / Australia, but if both countries are using the equivalent video format as NTSC or PAL, it should not be a problem. The PC would not be concerned in the conversion either, only a VGA conversion cable as per my knowledge. There is such thing as bridge game Adaptec becomes red, white, and yellow in a USB connector! Maybe you could use that!

    I think the only district that subjects to DVD; however, I am not an expert. Video standards are Biggy. If you are in North America, Japan, Korea, Philippines and parts of South America, use NTSC. Most areas of the world use PAL or SECAM. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the additional half uses PAL-M. The rest of the worlds are primarily based on PAL. If you are unsure of what your video standard is, contact your cable or broadcast. Moreover, in the back of most video tapes indicate the type of standard video tape. This is a fine representation of what your video standard is. It could be very far, but when I look at the consoles on eBay, I constantly observe video standards as well.

    Google only displays your specifications and it seems they can have ports of components, which means you do not even need a VGA Box, only the component cables from Nintendo Wii. In addition, the VGA box that has been linked to the component input, which would have the Nintendo Wii cables component to use. Regular composite cables do not work with VGA box. Finally, I must warn you to be careful about selecting the VGA box, as I have heard some produce poor image quality. You should try to find reviews and other things to ensure they produce a nice image quality.
    But yeah, I do not even need a VGA Box, only the Wii component wires from Nintendo, but I will strive to confirm this for you. Well, if you perceive 3 RCA connectors on the backside of your monitor, then I would say are the component inputs.

    You have many ways you can connect your Wii via the Internet: the cheapest way is to buy a USB WiFi adapter at any electronics store usually sells for 39.99 (USD) and is mostly known to use the DS, but the manual itself says that you can use. The Original Way to get a Wii adapter will be available very soon and all cables and other things and the best way is to get a wireless router, and once you connect the wireless router, you can have your Wii anywhere home and be connected, this also goes for laptops, as well as the 360 and PS3.

    Re: Need to hook Nintendo Wii with PC monitor and other things

    I'm not sure now. I just read that are not well-matched with all monitors or something? Maybe it has to do with what resolutions your monitor supports? What region do you have Nintendo Wii? If you have a PAL system, then the monitor does not support? Because I believe that a resolution would be 720x576 PAL or 704x576. But if you have an NTSC system, then I believe it works on your screen, for an NTSC resolution would be 640x480. But yes, I feel your monitor only supports resolutions of 1024x768, 1152x870, 1152x900, 1280x1024, 640x480, 720x400, 800x600, 832x624, 640x350.
