I want to get my wii on my computer moniter, but I dont know how.

I heard that you need a VGA box, I dont know what that is or what it does, or if its needed at all.

Is it an easy set up?

How much does a VGA box cost and can I buy it in a store.

I have a flat screen Samsung 19 inch, its quite new if that matters.

Can someone help me with this?

Thankyou,

It's kinda complicated as Nintendo doesn't make a VGA or DVI-D adapter. You could get a component-to-VGA/DVI-D adapter, but those little puppies cost alot of money, into the hundreds of dollars.

IMO opinion it's easier to buy a T.V., with the DVI/VGA port for PCs. Like I use a 32" Samsung for a monitor and for my Wii.

Like what the other poster said, try to get a converter.

Wait, so whats that? It sounds really complicated and seems I would be better off buying a smaller TV.

But this box couldnt cost more than a new TV, could it?
