My Wii is connected to a 20.1" Widescreen PC Monitor (VGA D-sub connection). I use the KWorld TVBox 1680ex to connect the Wii and other video components to this monitor.

$62 after shipping

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...td-_-15260010R

It supports 1080p audio, HD-TV tuner, Svideo, and RCA, etc.

See Spoiler for SPECS!

Send me a PM if you want a link to an ebay auction that is a solution t your problem. Apparently posting the solutiong is classed as 'ebay spam' as brought to my attention by a moderator, so if you want a product that solves your problem feel free to PM me, wouldn't want to spam your thread with a solution to your problem.

those converters are probably outputting at 640x480 resolution, your monitor is just complaining because it can do better than that, the problem is that the Wii (or any other standard NTSC or PAL output) can't, it's just a quality thing, and it's actually as good as it can get. If your monitor won't output at all, then I have no answer
