I wouldn't have thought so.
A while back, Nintendo said that Wii could hook up to a computer monitor (technically the same), but I don't know if it still can.
Whats up with your TV?Smilie

Thats why I got an HDTV. It look so pretty even though the game doesn't have HDSmilie.

Might be easier to get a new TV. 28-inch big models aren't hard to find for less than 100, and they'll have no problem with 60Hz.(Thats what I did)
Thats what I'd recommend anyway. A small laptop screen isn't very ideal for Wii games.

I think you can also do this via using a tv tuner input; I have a tv tuner for my laptop that I know this is possible for, I've seen an article on it being done, but I forget how.

The picture quality is shockingly bad via that option, it's not even quick fix because the picture is so bad.

If there's a d-sub input (99% chance there isn't) you'll need a component converter.

If not, you'll need a USB TV tuner thing. These are shit.

So basically don't bother.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

The picture tv picture quality I get seems pretty good; why would the wii be so much worse?

Not so much the picture that would be the problem, rather the Wii Pointer useage. Smilie
