This tiny, power-packed module takes in the native Component video and analog audio output from the Nintendo Wii and outputs a crisp HDMI™ video stream. This module utilizes a fully custom PCB with a higher quality, next generation IC compared to what is typically used on the widely available, low quality analog-to-digital modules that are readily available online. The low quality construction of those other modules often leads to video and audio with interference that inhibits enjoyable gameplay. If you are not happy with those modules, then you will absolutely be happy with these.

Love it! I have no issues with the Wii

Love it! I have no issues with the wii. Make sure you adjust the settings in the Wii to 480p, widescreen and Yes to reduced screen burn-in to get the best picture. Other than that, it's perfect!

I should've expected these common issues

I did read the reviews of this product and noticed a lot of people saying the output was too dark, but I wanted to try it out anyway. Unfortunately that was my exact experience. Both my monitor and my capture card had colors too dark for me to get used to. Even when I turned up both my brightness and contrast to max on my monitor it was still too dark. Elements blended in with dark backgrounds, when the contrast was good on every other adapter I've used. It is also true that unlike others, this adapter does not properly support 480i, which is a problem because some games can't be played in progressive mode. I've read the replies to some reviews too, saying that the dark visuals are a compatibility issue with certain TVs and that other adapters don't actually do this brightness correctly. I don't think this is a good excuse. Mind you the Wii U has an official HDMI output and that has the same brightness as every other Wii2HDMI adapter. I don't think it's good if your product is only usable with certain hardware and certain games. I've been testing a ton of these adapters too, and almost all of them are not great. Ultimately the one that won me over was the first one I had ever bought years ago, which isn't even being produced anymore, and still has noticeable problems. I appreciate the effort put into this product but I think the wrong approach is being taken.
