You can still hook it up using the composite or component cables, most UHD TVs still have component inputs on them. (Green, Blue Red for video, red and white for audio)Hi i have tried several wiis (3) with an Wii2HDMI converter however my TV says mode not supported.
Is there any way to get the wii working on a modem Tv?
It's my understanding that the wii sends signal in 480i which my TV does not support
I'm curious, which models are you referring to? From what I've seen most modern TVs have a couple of HDMI ports at best and only those cheap Chinese TVs had composite/component and SCART connectors as well. Few months ago, I found a decent Panasonic 39" 3D TV with 3 HDMI ports and component and SCART connectors as well, but that was pretty much the best thing I could find for a decent price.most UHD TVs still have component inputs on them
In addition, in case you're seeing distorted black and white image, make sure to switch from component to composite video output on your TV.If using a composite cable, plug yellow (Video) into green, and the red and white audio to the audio jacks. Red and blue video jacks will remain empty.
I do have several hdmi ports, however when I fire up the wii, I get a msg from the TV which says mode not supported. It's been tested with several wii models and two different cheap Wii2HDMI which can be found on ebay for about 3-5$I'm curious, which models are you referring to?

I I'm not sure I have composite connection in my TV but will checkYou can still hook it up using the composite or component cables, most UHD TVs still have component inputs on them. (Green, Blue Red for video, red and white for audio)

I have never seen a SCART connector on any TV in-person, in my entire 41 years of being alive.I'm curious, which models are you referring to?

I got my 4K TV in early 2020, and it still has them. I think it's just the cheaper low-end models that are cutting them.SCART is more of a European thing, conversly I've never seen S-Video on a TV, only via a SCART adapter.
Be careful as even these started to dissappear a few years ago, both my Hisense and LG lack component and the latter also composite. I ended up having to buy a couple of adapters for my LG e.g. OSSC.
Just checked a few UHDs elsewhere and they too lacked them.

Mine is a 2020 LG with WebOS. Has 3 HDMI, 2 USB, and 1 Component input. Ran me just under $300 USD at the time I bought it. I use it as my main computer monitor because I needed 4K resolution for Photoshop and CAD work on-the-cheap. Also has HDR, and movies look fantastic on this thing.
Good to know! Will look around for those LG TVs with component video out as that's what I've been mainly using for my Wii. I thought that the component video out was a thing of the past and not really present it somewhat recent TVs. Mine's from 2013-2015 or something like that, so it's somewhat decent-ish for my needs, but could use a better one.Mine is a 2020 LG with WebOS. Has 3 HDMI, 2 USB, and 1 Component input.

Yeah I checked I do not have composite connection, just 4x hdmi and 2 USB. It's called LG Qned 65 inchesSCART is more of a European thing, conversly I've never seen S-Video on a TV, only via a SCART adapter.

That's so weird that everyone keeps saying that, when it's simply just not true where I live. (Pacific Northwest, USA)Composite is sometimes still around, but component (YPbPr) is very rare on modern consumer sets.
It depend on the region.That's so weird that everyone keeps saying that, when it's simply just not true where I live. (Pacific Northwest, USA)
I think I need to try this, but find it weired that all 3 system I have tested results in no image. Parhaps 480i is the default settin?You need to set the wii to output 480p.
Do this with the hdmi adapter plugged in on another compatible display.

What is this retrotink 2x I looked it up on ebay and it looks like it was crazy expensive, about 200 usd? Is this correct? In my country people are giving away old tvs left and right, think maybe I will look for one free monitor or TV. But really best option would be for this to work on my main UHD TVIf you have an old TV lying around hook up your Wii to that thing first and ensure the TV signal is set correctly to 480p and 4:3 so the adapter will work. There's a chance the Wii simply isn't outputting correctly into the wii2hdmi adapter.
Otherwise, if you want a cheap but decent solution get a retrotink 2x mini or similar, those are below 1ms in lag and work with basically any old gaming console.
Though if you can afford to drop a grand on a TV consider upgrading directly to something like the Retrotink 5x Pro or the Retrotink 4k, and hook up your consoles via high quality HD Retrovision or RetroAccess scart cables. It costs a lot more but you'll get the best quality out of your consoles at the lowest latency possible.
Looking at the thread, you just talked about your 2020 vintage TV having component. I expect your next anecdote will be about how 'all the TVs you saw had it last time you were at Circuit City.'That's so weird that everyone keeps saying that, when it's simply just not true where I live.
