My Wii had to go through a HDMI switch, so I cant use the KCOOL, however, I tried one of the cheap 1080p HDMI adaptors and its OK but it does introduce noise before it converts to HDMI, this is not idea. The MAYFLASH can convert native Wii outputs such as 480i and 480p. It then takes that video and turns it into either 720p or 1080p output. This is all accomplished without having to supply it with additional power.

Have you been wondering how to hook up your Nintendo Wii to enjoy classic games on a modern TV? I‘ve connected my Wii to various displays using different methods over the years, so I‘m here to share everything I‘ve learned about getting the beloved Wii looking its best on an HDTV.For convenience but higher cost, an **AV to HDMI converter** lets you use original Wii cables while still outputting HDMI to your TV. The board is based off Ingo Korb’s GCVideo project, which reverse-engineered the digital chip in the GameCube’s component video cables. All GCVideo solutions are zero added lag in both analog and digital versions. Full Video Review: If you're looking for something pretty cheap and don't mind some issues, this may not be a bad option. Turn on your TV and Wii. Once connected, locate the Wii Home screen on your TV screen by pressing the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV remote until you find the component source.

The component to HDMI adapter is one of the better options out there. It is similar to the Wii2HDMI, except instead of plugging directly into the Wii, it plugs into the component cables coming out of the Wii. It outputs at 480p. These generally have less issues, and while they are a bit more expensive and require extra power, it is definitely worth it. Some of them also tend to do a little bit (but not too much) of upscaling.Unfortunately, the Wii's 480p output isn't as good as true 480p, even though it's not too easy to notice. Older Wiis tend to have a worse 480p output than newer Wiis, and even the newer Wiis aren't perfect.

You might be wondering what the difference is between 480i and 480p. The i stands for Interlaced, and the p stands for Progressive Scan. When an image is interlaced, only part of the image is shown on the screen at a time, then it shows the other part. This switching is done faster than the naked eye can see, so it's not really noticeable unless watching something really fast. With progressive scan, the entire image is shown at once, so even when watching something fast, the image is smooth. If you don‘t mind tinkering, there are also Wii2HDMI solutions like the ChimeraHD that require soldering directly to the Wii motherboard but can achieve nearly zero lag with pure digital video. But for most gamers, I think the Mayflash adapter provides the best convenience and quality balance. Wii2HDMI Tips Since Wii was launched in 2006, the hardware is a little dated, and only outputs a max resolution of 480p. The problem is that most new displays support much higher resolutions, with 1080p being the most common.Turn on your TV and console, press the input select button your TV remote to select your Wii. This button may be called "Source", "EXT", "AUX", "AT", or "TV/Video". Does your monitor have built-in speakers? If it does, then the HDMI adapter should transfer the audio over. But as we know, monitor speakers are not the best quality, so you’ll probably want to use external speakers. No, you don’t. These are all designed to entirely replace the old style of cords. Some devices on the market take the RCA cables and convert them to an HDMI output. All of the adapters on this list take that step out and plug directly into the Wii. Then there’s an easy way to get HDMI from the Wii to your display device. For most gamers, grab a plug-and-play Wii2HDMI adapter**. It‘s the easiest way to get great quality HDMI without fussing with cables or mods. As for video support, the Tgwbawm can output 480P, 576i, 720P, and 1080P. This puts it on par with other options on the list and will give you a great gaming experience.

Obviously, not all blogs over the internet will guide you to properly configure this. However, you won’t have to worry at all.

Now, you can get to see the available sound quality and also the resolution that is set, Select any choice according to your preference and then tap on the confirm menu option. Here, the settings are changed and you can move forward. When it comes to the Wii, Nintendo used custom plugins with RCA inputs for the TV. Those haven’t been standard for a while, with the current method being HDMI ports. Bought a new TV that only has HDMI ports? No need to worry. Even though WII doesn’t natively support HDMI cables, there are plenty of Wii to HDMI adapters that will work. But there are some things you should know.
