Using Monitor w/ Wii

[wkinney]

I plan on using my Wii with my LCD monitor, but it lacks a composite or S-Video input. It only has DVI and VGA.
The Wii supports composite or S-Video output, but obviously not VGA or DVI.
Does anyone know of the best way to hook them up? I was trying to avoid one of those convertors that does composite to 480i VGA conversion b/c of the quality...but is that my only option?

You could do it with a ATI All-in-Wonder card but that's more expensive than a converter box and has some delay issues with console games.

I've been through that exact thing and ended up just getting a LCD TV. I don't know though, someone may make a Wii>VGA cable.

EDIT: something of interest: GC VGA cable

Apparently it's possible for games that support progressive scan on the GC to use a VGA cable, so maybe it will be possible to make a cable for the Wii.

Actually, the component-to-VGA boxes are quite good these days. I think it's called the V3-ZD or something like that, but there's one that takes a progressive-scan component video and outputs it as a VGA signal.
