IQIKU HDMI Adapter for WII with HDMI Cable

This item comes in nice packaging and includes an HDMI cable. There are no instructions in the box, but it is basically a plug-n-play device with no real options or switches to worry about. I tested the converter on a 40-inch Sony Bravia flat panel. My Wii console has been connected to it via Component cables with the Wii options set to display 480p widescreen. When I changed the connection to the HDMI adapter, visual quality was just as good. I hit two snags when I was setting up the adapter. The first problem was no sound over HDMI. The picture looked great, but the sound was not working at all. Since there are no instructions in the box, I had to check the item description on Amazon. There is a 2.5mm headphone jack on the adapter for connecting to headphones or external speakers. I was concerned that the device might not be able to carry audio on the HDMI port (similar to DVI displays), but thats not the case. After a few minutes of disconnecting, reconnecting, and double-checking everything, the audio started to work fine on my TV using the exact same HDMI cable. The next issue was some electro-magnetic interference affecting the picture. I could see a subtle pattern of diagonal lines slowly moving across the screen. I have several electronic devices in the same entertainment center, and one of the cables was too close to the Wii HDMI converter. Once I neatened up the mess of wires, the picture cleaned right up and the interference was no longer a problem. If you experience the same issue, try moving the nearby wires. Compared to the Component video connection, this HDMI adapter does add a small amount of delay. When using the Wiimote to navigate the Wii menus, there is a subtle delay as the pointer hand follows your Wiimote movements. To make sure I wasnt imagining this, I switched back and forth between HDMI and Component and also had another player try it out. For most Wii games, it probably isnt going to be an issue. For First-Person Shooters, it might be noticeable and actually affect your game. If your TV has both HDMI inputs and Component inputs (as my TV does), I suggest keeping the Wii on Component. I didnt see any improvement in picture quality (480p widescreen is handled well by both), and I would prefer less lag for playing games that require quick reflexes. Ill definitely use this HDMI adapter when I use my Wii consoles on other TVs though. Pros: - Picture quality just as good or better than component - Audio over HDMI sounds good and simplifies cabling - Comes with HDMI cable Cons: - May experience interference from nearby cables and devices - Very subtle lag between input and output Conclusion: If your TV only has HDMI inputs, get this adapter and youll be happy. If your TV has Component inputs, use that instead for no lag.

Works perfect, took me a whole minute to connect it. Now I can run my wii on a TV without component connection. The HDMI is a much cleaner install. I played it with the old component connection and this one I I can’t see any difference between them, the audio and Video is the same. This is a real bargain for the price.

When I ordered this device, I was very hopeful that it would work because I have a Wii game console that my grandkids would like to use but I had no way of connecting the game console to my new TV. My Wii video connection to the TV requires RGB connections but my new TV does not have RGB ports. I was NOT disappointed with the device. It connected just fine to the TV/Wii and now we can use the game console with the grandkids and giving new life to the Wii games that were just collecting dust and marked for the landfill.

This works Great!!! Its A must have>>>

It works like it should.

I bought a wiii for the nostalgia and realized i couldn’t play this was a life saver.

Exactly what I needed, great little adapter that lets me play my beloved WII in a world where RCA jacks are harder and harder to find on the back of a TV. Great little unit that works as expected.

I’ve had my old Wii shelved for years now and love being able to hook it back up for play! Haven’t had a TV with either component or composite video and analog audio inputs in years and this interface box is great - new life for an old toy! Hooked up quickly and no issues with operation.

We recently bought a new TV for our son since his stopped working. He has the Wii still and plays it all the time. I didn’t realize that new TVs didn’t have a place for the RCA cables to connect and did’t even think to check. We went to several different places looking for a connector that would work but no one had what we needed. I about gave up when I saw this on Amazon and bought it right away. It was so easy to install and works great. Picture is better then before for sure. I thought we were going to have to get rid of the Wii or buy a used tv just so he could continue to play the Wii. Thank you thank you!!
