IQIKU HDMI Adapter for WII with HDMI Cable

Exactly what I needed, great little adapter that lets me play my beloved WII in a world where RCA jacks are harder and harder to find on the back of a TV. Great little unit that works as expected.

My av cables were starting to go out and instead of replacing them I figured an upgrade would be about the same cost. This kit includes an HDMI cable and the converter which was a nice surprise. I thought the price was good with just the converter. Set up was easy. The picture needed some aspect ratio adjustment which i fixed it on the Wii settings. Everything looked super clean. Im so happy to have my Wii up and running again.

I bought a wiii for the nostalgia and realized i couldn’t play this was a life saver.

My family still loves playing Wii, especially Mario Kart. I had upgraded years ago from a composite cable (where all video is handled on one cable, usually yellow, and there are red and white cables for audio) to a component cable (where red green and blue are all on separate cables, plus the two audio cables). This allows the Wii to output 480p, instead of 480i, for a slightly more stable, vivid picture. I wanted to upgrade to a new TV, and many don’t have component inputs any longer. Decided to give this adapter a shot. Plugs right into the Wii, and an HDMI cable is INCLUDED, unlike many of these from other brands. Picture quality did not suffer at all. Audio is carried over the HDMI as you’d expect, you only need the optional jack if you want to pump audio directly to a stereo system for example. Nice product and a great price!

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

Great product. Allowed me to hook up the wii to a newer 4K TV

This item comes in nice packaging and includes an HDMI cable. There are no instructions in the box, but it is basically a plug-n-play device with no real options or switches to worry about. I tested the converter on a 40-inch Sony Bravia flat panel. My Wii console has been connected to it via Component cables with the Wii options set to display 480p widescreen. When I changed the connection to the HDMI adapter, visual quality was just as good. I hit two snags when I was setting up the adapter. The first problem was no sound over HDMI. The picture looked great, but the sound was not working at all. Since there are no instructions in the box, I had to check the item description on Amazon. There is a 2.5mm headphone jack on the adapter for connecting to headphones or external speakers. I was concerned that the device might not be able to carry audio on the HDMI port (similar to DVI displays), but thats not the case. After a few minutes of disconnecting, reconnecting, and double-checking everything, the audio started to work fine on my TV using the exact same HDMI cable. The next issue was some electro-magnetic interference affecting the picture. I could see a subtle pattern of diagonal lines slowly moving across the screen. I have several electronic devices in the same entertainment center, and one of the cables was too close to the Wii HDMI converter. Once I neatened up the mess of wires, the picture cleaned right up and the interference was no longer a problem. If you experience the same issue, try moving the nearby wires. Compared to the Component video connection, this HDMI adapter does add a small amount of delay. When using the Wiimote to navigate the Wii menus, there is a subtle delay as the pointer hand follows your Wiimote movements. To make sure I wasnt imagining this, I switched back and forth between HDMI and Component and also had another player try it out. For most Wii games, it probably isnt going to be an issue. For First-Person Shooters, it might be noticeable and actually affect your game. If your TV has both HDMI inputs and Component inputs (as my TV does), I suggest keeping the Wii on Component. I didnt see any improvement in picture quality (480p widescreen is handled well by both), and I would prefer less lag for playing games that require quick reflexes. Ill definitely use this HDMI adapter when I use my Wii consoles on other TVs though. Pros: - Picture quality just as good or better than component - Audio over HDMI sounds good and simplifies cabling - Comes with HDMI cable Cons: - May experience interference from nearby cables and devices - Very subtle lag between input and output Conclusion: If your TV only has HDMI inputs, get this adapter and youll be happy. If your TV has Component inputs, use that instead for no lag.

Works great on my new Series 6 TCL

This is a must have if you want to play a wii on a modern TV. It works great and keeps the cords simple by making the wii port an HDMI port. It also came with the HDMI cord.
