Hey guys im looking for a good tv tuner for my acer 22inc monitor resolution at 1680x1050 which one would you recommend. Is there a way i can connect my wii with the tuner so i can play on my monitor?
And if u can find a tuner under 100$ that would be great.
Thanks.

I have an ATI 650 PCIE TV Tuner....Its a lot better than Hauppage. I trid different Tuner cards on my PC(ATI, Aver Media, Happauge, Pinnacle...etc). I cycled to each brands and settled with ATI650PCIE.

No card is prefect it will have issues left and right. For my need ATI650 ...HD Tuner video quality is very close the quality of my TV Digital Tuner.

A have the ATI as well, and hauppage pvr150 analog, the ATI does great for over the air, but on 22 inch monitors i find anything but digital looks like garbage.

analog signals come in around 640x480, HD digital signal is 1920x1080, analog looks bad because it gets scaled up significantly.
