Wii on Monitor via VGA Converter

[Rob]

does this work?

A Wii's composite cables --> VGA converter --> LCD monitor

Halp!

I don't think they make a VGA converter for the wii. I just googled and it seemed like lots of people want to do the same thing but are having a difficult time finding the right cable.

but am hesitant to spend $40 + shipping on it. I have 2 TVs in my house: my 32" which is the living room TV and not to be used for gaming and a little 12" lcd tv in the bedroom. I game on my monitor so since I moved and can't game on my TV I haven't been able to play Wii and I really want to start & finish the sweet games I have =(

Rob, I would just buy it. If anything, you can just send it back if it doesn't work.

I don't really have the money for that now, maybe if I get enough money at the wedding.

What I don't understand is why this http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Vid ... B000Y7T5UU (http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU)
wouldn't work?

edit: I think it's because the RCA part is supposed to be OUTPUT whereas I need it for input :/
