I'm guessing component to a vga box.

something like that, though it's a bit pricy.
(though it does come with the component cable included, so that's not too shabby)
edit: just read buyer review and that one didn't do too well, however there is also

this one seems to be cheaper and offer the same and got better user reviews, but still doesn't seem 'perfect'.

I'm really interested in how this compares to component cables on the same screen?

Now that is hot! I might have to get me one!
Shame that Pal GC games have no 480p support at all, but for VC and Wii games this could be very very good for me.
It's almost 2008. all consoles should have (official) VGA output

Hear hear. Hmm reading about the component comments I'm wondering if my Dell widescreen would handle them ok. It has DVI, VGA and I think it has (90% sure) component. Has anyone had experience of using a Dell (or similar) monitor this way?
Sorry for the newbie q's toying with the idea of getting a Wii of Mario Galaxies.
Is it a 2407 ? Mine has component, the 20" models don't and the newer 24" doesn't either.

out of interest, thanks to Jack's post.
I ordered a set of the vdigi cable - i'm a sucker for having loads of cables
$39.95 + $10 postage to Ireland (€34 total)
Hmm, it's a 20" got it about 8 months ago. I think it may have composite connection. Would his offer any useful options?
edit: just found this site. It's useful for comparing composite and component. Composite is visibly more blurry.
Definitely avoid composite for LCD screens, it's awful.
I found another link on that VGA cable that states it's actually a tiny Component to VGA convertor. it has a Y component cable for setup. On a forum I found discussing it, they mentioned that it did a good job and didn't over-saturate the image like the VGA convertor box they had replaced it with.
Please post when you get it MacRumorUser. If it does a better job than component, I'll get one.
