Is there a Better / cheaper / easier way to convert and/or upscale the Nintendo Wii's Composite Video output to HDMI than one of these?

why would you want to?

Because then I can run the Wii on my 26" PC Monitor which doesn't have any RCA style inputs rather than on my 21" 4:3 telly.

Which is what i'll probably be doing because of the cost of that thing.

Great minds think alike

Samsung T260, Its fantastic, very sleek & was about £320 from www.overclockers.co.uk although its no longer on their site... Ian & Vicky bought the 19" version for vicky's mum (?) after seeing mine as they were considering it anyway & I think OC still have the 24" version on their site.

Its got 1x Analogue 1x DVI 1x HDMI on the back, not the greatest connectivity wise but thats fine.
They also do a verison with a built in Freeview Tuner which was about £30 more & I assume has a few more connections, again no longer on OC's website for some reason.

24" one

In hindsight I probably should have bought the one with the Freeview Tuner, then i could have connected the Wii via Component, but I wasn;t planning on getting a Wii at the start of Nov.
