yes if you google wii to vga theres loads of products to do it, the audio comes off via rca plugs though so you could use an RCA to 3.5mm converter then a splitter to your pc speakers/monitor speakers.

Vdigi Wii VGA cable is a superb solution, with dip switches that allow it to work on pretty much all monitors.

Looks better than component on my TV!

It's an ancient solution but still easily the best.

Will it still be ok on a 1920x1200? or will it be even more blocky + fuzzy?

It will be the best you can do.

Lower your sharpness and you'll be fine if you have a half decent monitor.

Why would you want to play your console on a PC Monitor?

Because many people don't have room/can't afford/don't want a HDTV. I used to play my PS3 on a monitor when i was in Uni as i couldn't fit a HDTV in my room.

not everyone has a need or the space for a massive TV with useless resolution. saves me on a tv license aswell

Would one of these provide a better picture than the Component cable?

Or are they effectively the same thing?

The tv is about 2 feet infront of the end of the bed (no room to play tenis) while the monitor has around 6 feet free infront of it

+ the monitor has a better picture than my tv.
