    ok i have to say that though the instructions to set it up are on the box i had a headache at first. Yes you will need a tv to get it set up initially, but it must be a normal tv not hdmi. I spent ages trying to do this on my hdmi tv without success until i tried an old tv which worked,after that it was smooth sailing. I have a hewlett packard monitor and it only supported 720 on it, however it was still sharp and much better than scart. a little bit of the screen didnt fit but i had to adjust the horizontal settings to center it, was also a bit bright so i had to adjust that as well. If your monitor dont have these options you might be screwed. I share the hdmi tv with my whole household so wanted to get this so i could just play in my room on my monitor, did the trick hope this helps you guys.

    Firstly, I am a european customer so these comments may only apply to normal european equipment..

    You actually need a TV set in order to set this thing up (because you need to plug the wii into a tv and do some on screen setup to change its video output to a mode comaptible with this cable.)

    Also, I can confirm that the image blacks out for a couple of seconds every ten minutes or so when playing ordinary european wii games.

    Also, the VGA monitor plug is the wrong sex, a sex changer is included but you will need to modify it by removing some bolts before you can actually use it, and the result is that the VGA cable cannot be screwed into the monitor.

    Apart from that the image quality is better than I expected and I am quite pleased with the product.

    1.0 out of 5 stars it is pretty clear the problem is introduced by the cable itself

    After taking the time to set it all up correctly with the Wii, it seems to work. However, after a full year of use it is plain to see that some games become unplayable due to 1-2 second blackouts that occur frequently. After trying a lot of different settings, games, and monitors, it is pretty clear the problem is introduced by the cable itself. The problem happens whenever the image is mostly white - this somehow cuts the sync to the monitor and the monitor tries to recalibrate. This is why some users have no problems, while others can't use it: it depends on how well the monitor tolerates the loss of sync introduced by the cable. There are also other variables in the mix; reading the feedback from others users it seems this problem affects mostly european sets with NTSC games, but I'm not sure there. Buyer beware!

    2.0 out of 5 stars poor quality for my use
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Now my rateing is possibly misleading so I will explain why I gave it 2 stars.

    I brought this cable to go from my PS3 to my monitor. Currently I have an existing xbox360 to vga cable used on my monitor and for the xbox360 it works awesome, so I assumed this would work fine for the PS3.

    The result was the following.

    A dim image output. Which was unaffected by tuning brightness on the monitor.
    Washed out colours.
    Overpowering whites (too high gamma?)

    Whilst the PS3 was useable it was a severely degraded experience, I partially improved it by putting the monitor in a video input mode (improved the colours greatly but not rest of issues).

    The PS3 doesnt seem to have native VGA support (whilst the xbox360 does) so that may be the cause of the problem and not the cable, which is why I said this rateing may be misleading, but for those using a PS3 considering this cable I hope you take this review seriously.

    I later brought a hdmi to dvi cable after this which works fine, so if you have a monitor with dvi input go for hdmi to dvi instead of composite to vga.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it should, but not necessarily what you'd want

    It's a cable for connecting a Wii to a PC monitor. It does that. What it doesn't do, however, is make the Wii graphics any better - don't expect nice, crisp emulator-style visuals. Indeed, the fact that it looks like someone's smeared vaseline over your monitor isn't wonderful. But then, that's not the cable's fault and since it does what it's meant to well, it can only get a good score.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really like these wires
    Reviewed in Canada on 27 February 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Really like these wires; saved me a lot of money since i was able to just plug my wii into my monitor instead of buying a new TV.
    Just to clarify some things I wasn't able to see about these on the web;
    Pros:
    -It does work with my version of Zelda: Wind Waker on gamecube. Some reviews on the amazon US said that it wouldnt work with gamecube games but at first it says ''signal input not recognized'' or something like that and then couples of minutes later the game appear.
    -The wires came with a AV cables (RCA) to JACK converter which allows you to plug speakers or headphones into and hear your game's sound.
    Cons:
    -The resolution seems, on my screen, not that good... there are some lines in the screen, like if you were playing on an old Tv.
    -The sound that goes into my headphones is not that good... and i have a pretty decent pair of headphones.

    I would still give this a 5 stars because i am not quite sure at the moment if the screen resolution and the audio problems are the fault of the cables. Plus, i dont really mind since I can play my old games (even the gamecube ones). Definitely recommend it.

    pour ce que l'annonce offre, il est tout ce que j'attendais(sachant que j'ai était deçue par plusieurs adaptateurs HDMI vers VGA défectueux )
    l'image est moins bien qu'en qualité HDMI, mais cela est normale puisque que c un cable VGA... et la qualité reste plus que convenable comme même!!!!(sachant que mon port HDMI de ma ps3 ne marche plus a cause d'un adaptateur HDMI vers VGA de mauvaise qualité!!!!!!!!!!!)
    très pratique car contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire dans un autre commentaire, il est envoyé avec un changeur de genre HD15 femelle vers male et même un adaptateur audio(c'était peut être déjà écrit dans la description mais je n'ai pas fait attention)
    moi qui est un simple moniteur PC avec entré RGB j'ai pu tout simplement branché ce câble à la ps3 et brancher des enceintes (ou un casque pour ce qui veulent)
    bref pour avoir fouillé partout sur internet et pour vouloir acheter cela de façon pas trop cher, moi qui suis juste une joueuse du dimanche ayant érité du copin; la ps3 et du papi ;le moniteur, de jouer à des JV ne me revient pas si cher que cela.:)
    Je suis même appelée un magasins concurant spécialisé en informatique et JV sur paris, qui ma dit que ce produit était en rupture de stock chez eux et que malheureusement ce produit est amené à disparaître ,il ne se fait plus car tout passe par la HDMI ...
    Je ne sais pas si c'est le même cas pour le vendeur qui vend ce câble si

    Ho acquistato il cavo per utilizzo su console Wii.
    Nelle impostazioni dello schermo della console bisogna impostare "EDTV - HDTV (480p)". Questa configurazione sarebbe da fare prima di collegarla al monitor, utilizzando un normale televisore. Io, non avendolo, ho dovuto impostarla alla cieca usando il Wiimote e seguendo le immagini di questa quida:[....]
    Accendi la Wii, attendi qualche secondo e poi:
    1) in basso a sinistra aprire il menu Wii (spostandosi sui vari pulsanti il Wiimote vibra e permette di capire più o meno dove sei) + click
    2) tutto a destra + click
    3) dall'alto conta tre vibrazioni + click
    4) di nuovo dall'alto contra tre vibrazioni + click
    5) dall'alto conta tre vibrazioni + click
    6) dall'alto conta quattro vibrazioni, tenendoti sulla destra + click

    Se è andato tutto bene lo schermo visualizzerà il menu della Wii, altrimenti spegni e ricomincia da capo.

    I giochi della Wii sono funzionati subito su un monitor HP L1906, mentre i giochi del Game Cube non funzionavano: problema dovuto al monitor un po' antiquato. Ho provato con un altro monitor (un 23 pollici della Dell) e tutto ha funzionato a dovere.

    La scatola contiene anche l'adattatore "da due canali audio a jack" e l'adattatore "vga da maschio a femmina"

    5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTO PARA WII U SIN HDMI
    Reviewed in Spain on 26 December 2013

    ¡¡¡La solución perfecta para Wii U si tu tele no tiene conector HDMI!!! Tras días de búsqueda en foros y consejos de "expertos" afirmando que para ver HD con sonido en Wii U hay que comprar un carísimo "adaptador/conversor HDMI/DVI + sonido", resulta que la cosa era mucho más fácil de lo que aparentaba…

    Este cable acepta hasta 1080p conectado en el puerto VGA de ordenador/monitor de la tele (también se puede usar si el puerto es DVI –como es mi caso– con un adaptador VGA a DVI). El sonido lo he puesto a través del equipo de música (R y L) y el resultado es espectacular.

    La única condición es que tu tele tenga un puerto VGA o DVI (los que te permiten conectar la pantalla del ordenador). El cable te ofrecerá la máxima resolución que tu tele acepte (1080i en mi Philips FlatTV HD Ready, con el adaptador VGA-DVI incorporado y sin defecto de imagen alguno).

    La Wii U detecta automáticamente la conexión como "conexión por componentes", y una vez obtenida automáticamente la imagen por defecto puedes cambiar la resolución desde el Wii U Gamepad hasta el máximo que tu tele permita.

    Incluye además dos adaptadores, uno de estéreo dual a mini jack y otro hembra/macho VGA. Excelente compra, excelente caja de tamaño importante (cable protegido, conectores perfectamente ordenados y separados) y excelente resultado.

    Lo único que hay que tener en cuenta es que si la entrada de tu tele es DVI necesitarás un pequeño adaptador VGA a DVI que cuesta 2 o 3 € y tienen en cualquier parte.

    MONITER: HP 2010i 20" Diagonal HD Ready Widescreen LCD Monitor

    this is a great product for the price, it does what it says and is easy to use
    **YOU MUST PLAY IN 480p**
    1. OPEN PACKAGE AND PLUG THE CABLE INTO YOUR TV
    2. GO TO WII OPTIONS > SCREEN > RESOLUTION > 480p
    3. SETTINGS SHOULD SAVE, YOU CAN NOW BRING IT TO YOUR MONITER
    --------------------------

    THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS PRODUCT IS THE FACT THAT THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK FOR 3 SECONDS
    EVERY 20 MINUTES OR SO

    i like this product too much for it to be a problem to me though
    i play animal crossing so it's whatever for me, after a day i got used to it

    it does happen a lot during games with big bangs or flashes
    it happens a lot during call of duty for example, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're a pro like me ;)

    great product, i dig it 5/5 because i read previous reviews and was aware there would be black screen bug and it's not a problem to me
