I know this is a very common question, and i'm certain it's been asked many times before among these forums, but could someone recommend me a hopefully cheap way to use my monitor as a screen for my Wii?

All I need is for it to occupy the whole screen, and bear a good quality. Hue and contrast shouldn't matter, as I believe I can adjust that with the settings of my monitor.

There are many VGA boxes and other solutions to do this, but supposably I can get more recent and specific answers here.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that my monitor is a 15-pin Acer.

A PCI TV tuner will help, I use it for my Gamecube.

The hard part is getting one of good quality that works with video and audio. If anyone knows of a specific model of one that is good quality and actually works, it would be helpful for me too.

The only thing is that HDTV tuners are coming out now, so it might not be a good idea for people without tuners to get them yet, as there's no HD tuner I've found with HD inputs.

Still, though. A model of a good one would be nice so we can watch the brand for any good HD cards. I know HD isn't  much better with the Wii as standard, but it's nice to have for other things.

HDTV tuners aren't just coming out now... They've been around for a couple years at this point. Though they are starting to tumble into a more managable price range.

Be careful with PC TV tuners, you may get bad picture quality and gameplay lag.  You're going to get the best quality with a VGA box.
