Question How to Connect Nintendo Wii to New TV?

[Gamefreaknet]

Hi. I recently bought a new smart TV however it doesn't have a RCA input that the Wii output uses (my tv has 2 HDMIs and 1 eARC HDMI). I looked into converters that would convert the RCA input to a HDMI output for my (43" TV) however on almost every different converter there was at least 2 people who had issues with the Quality, Sound, etc... There was one converter that popped up a few times on retailers and reviewers however that had both a 3.5mm audio output and HDMI output however I question if due to the 3.5mm jack would the HDMI still carry audio through and what would you recommend I use to convert the signal to a HDMI output?

Converter should do alright. I had n64 Hdmi modded and that uses a converter and there's no lag.

As for audio if you found one with also 3.5mm is both should play simultaneously. There wouldn't be a button to toggle between audio outputs so can assume it should do both same time.

hdmi issues are most likely due to poor cable selection as there is tons of cheap hdmi cables which have issues with signal integrity even at 2meter length

Well the Wii puts out an 480/520p signal and that converter just stretches this out to 1080p it's not going to look like a nice clean 1080p picture.
And on a 43" screen...you will see every pixel as big as a brick.

You would need a good fast upscaler and those are really expensive.

Could try get WiiU second hand, that has original Wii os on it.

If I bought a smaller screen (such as a 23" or 27" monitor) would the picture quality be better due to less upscaling requirement?

The upscaling would be the same (still 1080p) but the pixels would be smaller physically so it would look a bit better from the same distance.
Try it out on the display you have first before deciding on anything, it might look good enough to you.
