Review on Wii to HDMI Converter Adapter, Gana Wii to HDMI 1080p 720p Connector Output Video & 3.5mm Audio - Supports All Wii Display Modes by Mike Modesto

I bought this so I could ditch my component cables and connect everything via HDMI. I think most buyers are probably using composite (yellow, white, red) video cables. When using this converter, the image quality should improve noticeably. This device is more of a converter than a scaler. Here's how it works: This device plugs into the A/V port on the back of the Wii. A/D conversion and digital signal output via HDMI, 720x480@60Hz (EDTV 480p). This device does nothing to "upscale" or enhance the picture, it simply converts the 480p analog component signal to a 480p HDMI digital output. In fact, this is ideal, since zooming in further degrades the image quality. Analog stereo audio is converted to linear PCM 16-bit 48kHz for very high quality and compatibility. The digital audio/video signal is transmitted via the connected HDMI cable. Cable to a monitor or TV. After setting up your device, be sure to go into the Wii settings and change the aspect ratio (widescreen settings) to 16:9 (if using a widescreen display or HDTV) and resolution to 480p (EDTV). ) (if your display supports it, all HDTVs do), and for the Surround Sound settings, select Surround Sound (Dolby Pro Logic II) for the best video and sound quality. Set your TV to stretch the reconfigured widescreen video to fill the entire screen (when using a widescreen display). Finally, if you are using a surround sound system, enable Dolby Pro Logic II decoding for surround sound effects in supported games. This device works decently, but there are some problems: The device adds an input delay (lag). I think it's somewhere around 2-3 frames, but I haven't actually measured it. This device adds dancing diagonal noise to the video signal. This is most noticeable with light solid colors and gradient colors like red. However, if you sit within a few feet of him, I doubt you'll see him. In any case, some TVs can completely mask the interference. In terms of comfort and usability, this thing is pretty good. Much more convenient when everything in the A/V setup works over HDMI. However, the video quality is not as good as it could be. EDIT 12/17/2018: The adapter died and now I'm getting a free replacement. I would definitely question the quality control of their production.
