Review on HD W2H Converter Output Upscaling Adapter by Michael Nastanovich

The converter looks pretty sturdy (not cheap plastic). The HDMI connector is rigid and requires little effort to connect, so I wouldn't mind having to add and remove it regularly. Also note that the HDMI converter and connector adds considerable length (maybe 4 inches) to the rear of the Wii console. The sound was great. I connected a 3.5mm plug to my external BOSE speakers and was happy with the output. On the other hand, I couldn't get the video to work. My Samsung SyncMaster E2420 monitor CANNOT see the Wii with this converter. The monitor only has two inputs, one DVI-D and one VGA, so for the life of my monitor I have always connected peripherals to it using an HDMI to DVI-D cable. Although my MacBook Air can connect to my monitor via a mini to HDMI cable connected to the HDMI end of an HDMI to DVI-D cable, and my Panasonic Blue Ray player via a HDMI port is connected to a HDMI port -DVI-D cable, this HD-W2H video converter does NOT allow me to play Wii via HDMI to DVI-D cable. This may be because the converter upscales from the Wii's 480p to my monitor's 1080p and simply can't pass the conversion through the HDMI to DVI-D cable. I'm giving it three stars because I can't guarantee the video quality, but the manufacturer was very quick to respond to my request for information and told me that the HDMI to DVI-D cable was the culprit. and the product is incompatible (although I still really don't understand why). Excellent customer service and reliable product; I really want everything to work for me. I had to buy a cheap used TV with composite connectors to play the Wii (cheaper than buying this converter).
