Using Wii with PC monitor

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to connect the Wii to a monitor without having to use a video card if I use HDMI and DVI adapter?

A HDMI to DVI cable should work ok (providing the Wii supports HDMI output)

Thanks.

Hmm I'm not sure if it supports HDMI. I know you can use AV-HDMI adapters to plug it into televisions through HDMI ports, but it is not high-def. My setup would be

Wii AV --> AV/HDMI adapter --> HDMI/DVI adapter --> monitor

HDMI and DVI are both digital outputs (DVI can carry analog and digital signals), so even with an adaptor you should be ok with that setup.
