Wii/PS3 VGA HDTV AV Cable

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.

The only thing I did not like is this does not work with the PS2 even if the PS2 does support Hi-def, this cable will not work with a PS2On the PS3 and Wii though you get the best possible picture with both consoles

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.

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!

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.

Works fine, ok picture quality - far better than my earlier attemt on viewing wii on a pc monitor through a TV-tuner card. As other reviewers said - needed to connect first to a tv in order to set the wii video to 480progressive mode, afterwards works as expected.

Needed this cable to hook my ps3 to a dvi monitor via HDMI>DVI and carry audio via av port with this cable, Perfect solution, works very wellDoes not come supplied with M/M vga adapter as shown in the picture, so if you need this for picture display, you'll need to order 1 seperate

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.

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.

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) + click2) tutto a destra + click3) dall'alto conta tre vibrazioni + click4) di nuovo dall'alto contra tre vibrazioni + click5) dall'alto conta tre vibrazioni + click6) dall'alto conta quattro vibrazioni, tenendoti sulla destra + clickSe 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"

¡¡¡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.

I wanted to connect a PS3 to a projector that only had a VGA RGB connector. This cable did the trick. It allowed me to connect the PS3 and set the resolution to 720p (max for the projector). These instructions were very helpful:Instructions for PS3-to-VGA 1. Connect the PS3 AV plug to the PS3 AV MULTIOUT port 2. Connect the VGA plug to the Monitor. * If you do not see you PS3 at startup you must connect to a TV for a one-time setup o Connect the Green RCA connection to the Video In connection on a TV o Connect and start the PS3 console. A black and white image will appear on the TV which you can use to complete the setup 3. With a PS3 controller, navigate through and change the settings as marked below: * Settings * Display Settings * Video Output Settings * Component/D-Terminal * Change and press Enter to the next step * Select 480P, 720P, 1080I and/or 1080P and press right on the D-Pad 4. You should see the video on your computer monitor. Make sure to confirm your settings within 30 seconds or the video settings will revert to their previous values. 5. Set your audio output port to AV Multi 6. Confirm your settings
