This is fine if you’re playing your Wii on a device running one of those resolutions, like a smart TV, plasma TV, or HDMI HDTV.

However, most modern consoles in the 2000s and beyond have some sort of component video setup available to them that can be easily converted to HDMI. Each of the wires is properly marked so that you can get to see the cable colors and match them according to the slot. If you prefer to have your audio go through a separate audio system rather than your TV, some adapters actually allow for that. However, if you’re playing in resolutions higher or lower than 720p or 1080p, you should avoid adapters that auto-upscale the resolution of the Wii since it might result in less-than-ideal results.While some electronic devices require you to install complicated drivers, you won’t have that extra step with these. Simply plug one end into your Wii output slot, and the other end into an open HDMI input on your display. Hopefully this guide has provided all the details on modernizing your Wii‘s connections for any display. This switching is done faster than the naked eye can see, so it's not really noticeable unless watching something really fast. For convenience but higher cost, an **AV to HDMI converter** lets you use original Wii cables while still outputting HDMI to your TV.

There are some analog pieces of content that can reach up to 1080i resolution that’s almost as good as 1080p. If you instead want to display an HDMI source media to a CRT or plasma TV display with component ports, you instead need the Portta HDMI to Component Converter that splits the audio and video to RCA video and twin audio cables. Rather than being a small device that plugs into the Wii, this is a single cord that connects your Wii to your display. As you can see, composite AV offers the lowest quality while component provides a big boost to 480p sharpness. The MAYFLASH Wii to HDMI Converter looks and acts very similarly to the CHS and the PORTHOLIC devices.However, ultimately, the Portta wins out because it’s made for HDTVs and the conversion is more assured due to the more dependable nature of converters when compared to the more sensitive adapters that might not work in certain situations or conditions. A converter is better than an adapter because it switches the analog signal to a digital one that’s easier to parse by your HDTV. Today, almost every smart TV set does come with an HDMI port which helps you to establish a direct connection. If you‘re interested, the Wii HDMI Mod from iFixit provides an excellent guide to adding an HDMI port instead of the factory AV out. A Wide Input Range: Aside from the Wii’s 480p maximum native resolution that can be upscaled to 1080p, the Portta Component to HDMI Converter for YPbPr also covers resolutions like 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.

This is done using a USB-A to Micro USB cord that can plug directly into an available slot on your display device. This R/L Audio and YPbPr Component Video Converter allows you to combine and convert the audio and video of your component source media to digital signals that your HDTV can read with its single HDMI output. To give you an idea about this, S-Video Cables have two different wires that include the red and the white audio cables. Then again, you can use your converter or an app to change the aspect ratio from standard to widescreen anyway.

Probably, the most traditional device that you can use to get the established connection is simply because of a component cable present. At the time it was a completely revolutionary piece of technology that allowed us to play games in ways we never had before. The Wii2HDMI plugs into the Wii AV out port, and converts the analog 480p output from the port to a digital HDMI signal. There shouldn’t be any video or audio issues while using the CHS, providing you with a great viewing experience. 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.
