Ahtin,

Nice post. I'd consider something like this, as it's hard to get at the main tv where the wii is hooked up because of the needs of the family. However, I'm so used to playing on a 42" widescreen, that playing on a 20" LCD would be hard transition, especially with having to be further away from the screen. You have such a problem? How much space between you and the 22" monitor?

Does that component -> VGA adapter do de-interlacing? Most don't, which means any 576i/480i games (i.e. most Gamecube games) are out of the question from the Google-fu I did on these adapters.

I use the LCD together with the desktop, so the space between me and screen have 1 meter normally,

but I have test it at my 46" FULL HD LCD TV, Its ok to use.

I can help you to buy one in Hong Kong and ship to you if you dont mind paypal have a little charge for transfer money

Interesting, it does more than my X2VGA2 does.. I'm not convinced about deinterlacing support yet though, let's see some pics of PAL GC or other region interlaced GC games running on it first.

About how much would it cost?

The screenshot of the Wii Game "Marble Mania" is 480i , you can use it for PS2 too, so dont worry abt. 480i/576i, it works perfect

About how much would it cost?

Shipping cost to US is under USD20 for air parscal, the official price of the box is USD55, PM me for details if interest.

ahtin, does it come with the remote by default? I'm tempted to get one, even though I don't really need it, but my current VGA box doesn't support interlaced signals which is a mjor letdown actually..

USD55 version is include the remote control by default, but the remote only work under 3M

 

[jelbo]

3M? What's that?

 

[wiki]

I'm guessing 3 metres?

 

[ahtin]

yes 3 meters only between the HD box pro and the remote

Hey Wiki, did you get your Wii to VGA solution already? I remember you asking me some questions about my X2VGA2.

@ ahtin: Does the HD Box Pro have some 16:9 on 16:10 display correction? I see something like that mentioned in the Chinese reviews I can't understand

yes, 16:9 at 16:10 display will auto black for the top and bottom

So I ordered one from ahtin

Curious how good the deinterlacing really is, the screens look promising.
