Dell S2409W and Wii

Nov 20, 2009 3:53PM PST

I just bought an S2409W 24" widescreen monitor. I love it! I am using it for the computer, Xbox 360 and HDTV.
The thing is I want to get a Nintendo Wii, is there any way to hook it up to this monitor?
Thanks!

Short answer: No, there's no way to connect a Wii to that monitor.

Slightly longer answer is that if you can find a VGA cable for the Wii, you have a chance. Also, if you want to pay an extra $50 or so, you can probably get a signal converter to take component video and turn it into VGA or HDMI. Some higher end home theater receivers do video switching like that as well. So, it could also be an excuse to get yourself a nice home theater system to really get the full experience out of your gaming.
