If you want TV box please get a better one. 99% of those TV boxes in the shops out there couldn't meet my standard.. which is not that high.

Ok, how can you tell if it's bad or good? And what do you look for when getting a proper TV box.

If you want a good TV box at a fair price please visit www.hdboxpro.com. The price might be a little more than what you can find locally but the scaler inside it is worth every penny.

Sounds convincing, so if I were to play 480i games(eg Gamecube games) I'm better off using this thing?
Are the local shops here in Lowyat/Imbi/Sungai Wang selling it?

i saw a tutorial using TV CARD (with yellow video input) to connect Wii with LCD monitor

basically, its Wii's Yellow > TV CARD > PC > LCD MONITOR, Wii's Red/White to your Hifi/Audio System

Yes, I'm aware of that as well, but I was told that 90%don't support 480p. All of your suggestions have been very valuable. I look forward to getting the proper equipment along with a new LCD display.

I was right for the most part. All the REs don't support 480p. However I'm super glad that Eternal Darkness supports 480p. rclxm9.gif


Added on March 22, 2009, 4:05 amWent all over Lowyat to find and Imbi to find HDBOX Pro. No luck, even if they knew what I was looking for it was out of stock. Bought myself a Samsung T220. For the box, I got myself this tv box:

Most compatible way to use without using PC is VGA box (especially one of those 1080i/p-ready one with YPbPr connectors), since it can upscale and convert signal to monitor native signal.

VDigi cable is an option, but it's not 100%.

use TV card, good luck. Also framedrop and depending on card (i.e. whether u using professional BlackMagic Intensity Pro card or cheapo USB dongle), lag and quality issue. I use my PS2 on a Mac before getting my Wii and TV. Once I route the PS2 to the TV can see big improvement in picture smoothness.
