IQIKU HDMI Adapter for WII with HDMI Cable

It works and everything, but you have to connect the sound externally. If it wasnt for that, Id give it 5 stars.

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.

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.

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!!

Back when the Wii was released in 2006, Nintendo had chosen to focus on motion controls as their new innovation and were the only console of the generation to stick with SD graphics. While it may have been a smart decision at the time, the ongoing developments in TV technology are starting to leave older devices out. HDMI is the norm now and many HDTVs dont even have the proper inputs to connect to pre-HD devices. This device replaces the RCA connection on the Wii for HDMI. The box includes the HDMI adapter as well as an HDMI cable. Im happy to report its simple and it works. You simply attach the adapter to the Wii, connect the HDMI cable, and you can jump right back into Wii Bowling. I found that it outputs at 480p @ 60Hz on my television (in one of the pictures my TV shows a notification at the bottom of what resolution is being displayed). This might disappoint some people hoping for an upscaled resolution. Make sure to adjust your Wiis picture settings for the best image quality. Overall, this is a very affordable and solid solution for anyone who is looking to play their Wii on a modern televsion.

Ive had a Wii sitting in a cabinet for probably five years now since we got rid of our last CRT television and found it recently. I went to hook it up and realized the new TV only has HDMI inputs. I went ahead and ordered this and hooked it up. Note, it is very important in the Wii to set the resolution to 480p or you will get glitches and freezes. Newer 4K TVs certainly reveal the limitations of the Wiis graphics but its quite fun to crack out a nearly 20 year old game system and revisit Super Mario Brothers and Lego Indiana Jones. For a sub 10 dollar investment, you cannot go wrong if you have a working Wii and a newer TV.

This HDMI converter is a must have if you want to hook your Wii up to a flat screen or receiver that has no RCA capabilities. It works as good if not better than the original RCA cable it was supplied with when you bought the Wii. It comes with an HDMI cable so you won’t have to buy one or search your entire house for one that’s not already being used. You can plug headphones right into this converter if you want to as well. I personally won’t be using this option because I have no need to. The only thing that I noticed that may be a slight concern is, it sticks out of the back of the unit a few inches, so if you don’t have clearance behind your Wii, this may be an issue. For me it wasn’t, but for some it may be.

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

Needed a way to hook up my old Wii to my new TV and this was a great adapter. Picture looked great and was a simple connect and plug.
