> 3 dayI wanted to like this adapter, and its got a lot going for it, but ultimately its not a great solution. The packaging is what youd expect (cheap box with questionable English, individually wrapped items), and the adapter is dead simple to use: its got the Wii connector on one end, and the other has a female HDMI and a female 3.5mm jack (incase youre outputting your audio to a stereo, instead of via the HDMI). Youll need to flip the Wii to widescreen and 480P (its a console from 2012 and doesnt support anything higher), but after that youre good to go. Also bonus, it comes with an HDMI cable, which is a nice surprise! The catch is, the video quality is poor. There are faded diagonal lines that stream across the screen (noticeable, but hard to photograph), and faint ghosting. Granted, its not SUPER prominent, and for as cheap of an adapter (that comes with an HDMI cable, no less!) its hard to complain, but I would be happier paying double the price for a clean image. If this adapter is going to be used on a display thats of poor quality, or by someone who doesnt care much about what it looks like, this is an excellent value.. if youre someone that values a clear picture (at least as much as you can get for 480P) then it might be best to look for a different product.

> 3 dayIve had a Wii sitting in a cabinet for probably five years now since we got rid of our last CRT television and found it recently. I went to hook it up and realized the new TV only has HDMI inputs. I went ahead and ordered this and hooked it up. Note, it is very important in the Wii to set the resolution to 480p or you will get glitches and freezes. Newer 4K TVs certainly reveal the limitations of the Wiis graphics but its quite fun to crack out a nearly 20 year old game system and revisit Super Mario Brothers and Lego Indiana Jones. For a sub 10 dollar investment, you cannot go wrong if you have a working Wii and a newer TV.

Greater than one weekIt works and everything, but you have to connect the sound externally. If it wasnt for that, Id give it 5 stars.

Greater than one weekThe IQIKU HDMI Adapter for Wii helps fulfill an important need for people with TVs/monitors without composite or component inputs. This is especially helpful for people with 4K monitors since many only have HDMI inputs. Colors are vibrant and the picture is relatively sharp, though not as sharp as most component-to-HDMI adapters (though those can run significantly higher, with some solutions up in the hundreds). I havent noticed any tearing or excessive artifacting in the 4-5 games I have played through the adapter so far. Audio through the HDMI is clean and sounds great on my Vizio soundbar. It does come with one major caveat, however. Unlike a component connection, which can output in widescreen, the IQIKU HDMI Adapter can only output in 4:3, so you need to be okay with pillarboxing on the left and right of the screen. For me, its a fair trade to be able to play these great games again, but I realize it may be a less acceptable option for others. If that should be the case for you, you are probably best looking for a used Wii-U since it is backward compatible with Wii games and can output natively in HDMI with a very clean sharp 16:9 image. For the rest of this, this is an affordable compromise.
