So I got a new Wii U and the display setup...

[Yeagdrasil]

I bought a mario 3d land bundle and ive been enjoying every so often but my mom is the real user of the living room tv

 

So I being a good son would not like to disturb her only time of relaxation whatching stuff

 

 

So I thought I would move my wii u to my comp desk and I have two setup thought out:

 

1. Buy a DVI to VGA, HDMI to HDMI(with audio extract) TO DVI (i dunno about what latency issue this will bring)

and hook up pc to vga and wii u to dvi port

 

2.The other option, lot more expensive was still stick with hdmi audio split cable and get a HDMI switch or DVI switch and add adapter accordingly to which switch and get both source run on DVI port on monitor

 

What would be most well-thought 

 

considering i am willing to throw about $100-150 to get a setup working (prob most "throw money because I can" moment I am in!)

I thought the Wii U allows you to play on the gamepad with the TV off or on another channel?

but I do want enjoy nice 1080p monitor experience instead of gamepad play

 

I wouldnt want to play 100% of time on gamepad

Just buy another DVI cable, you can have your PC hooked up using DVI as well as your Wii U.

 

Edit: If your monitor has only one DVI port, use VGA to DVI for the Wii U.

and get component audio L/R to 3.5mm and put in my Line-In of sound card i guess?

Don't put VGA or Component into the mix. For the video you can go straight from HDMI to DVI and I reckon if you hunted around you could get a device that'll extract audio. But if you have a couple of hundred bucks? You can probably get a monitor that has HDMI inputs, built in speakers and a headphone out. Probably the best option if you're still using something that you need to use VGA inputs for.....
