I am an avid gamer, and have been for over 15 years. The Wii color screen has many advantages: it folds to protect the screen, has awesome graphics, sound is great, well designed for ease of inserting discs. The 2 disadvantages I found are: first the door for the game cube controller slots and memory cards do not open with ease. You have to carefully pull the bracket from the color screen apart while you open the door. It is not a real big problem, but worth noting. The second problem is a bigger and really worth considering before you purchase this product. The screen is really not big enough to see small objects and I found playing most Wii games that require motion to be difficult because you have to get close to see the screen, and that limits your movement abilities. It is great for most controller games like Super Mario Brothers 3, but when it comes to games like Wii play where you have to find the different Miis it is a problem. I love the ability to travel and in general really am happy with the product, but would love to have a screen large enough to play all games with ease.

i have Purchaced this andd only have had it a couple days but i wanted to give a basic review of this monitor
first i think it is awesome it comes with a car adapter and you can use our Wii plug to plug it in in the House the Volume is Oober Loud and has a earphone Jack and the screen is clear it also swivels 180 degrees and the one from amazon comes with a case to put the wii on the back of a seat.. this is a perfect option for someone going on a camping trip for kids to play in the car or Long Road trip
one of the other reviews gave a bad review because of how u play first player shooter games on it...

Well.. Lets be honest the wii over all isn't great for first person shooters it is great for what it was designed for pick up and play and if you want to call it the "game-cube Mentality" Fine...
i owned a game cube and i still play the games some of us still enjoy the games you dont have to spend 6 hours to get anywhere you CAN but you dont have to we like to pick up and play.... I. E. the Wii.... so over all a great product i dont know how the durability is because i just got it but it seems tough

When it comes to video game systems today, Nintendo is the company that has shown it has it all. With the return to console gaming on the Wii, many gamers are eager for looking for new ways to get their fix of action packed excitement. But, for Wii owners, they might feel the need of something else. This Widescreen 7" game screen, works nicely for Gamecube gamers, who can also get their fix of Gamecube madness on the Wii, but it doesn't add up very well on anything else. Although it might be good if you're in a mobile home, but you unfortunately can't see very well on where you're aiming in games like The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I really suggest you wait for either a bigger game screen, or just don't buy it at all. At about $200, it just misses the mark a lot.

Price: D

Gameplay: C 1/2-

Overall: D+

It does everything it says, which makes me happy. Unfortunately the screen they chose has the wrong refresh rate for the Wii, so what you get are lines running down the screen. Kind of distracting, but otherwise a good product.

i did research 1st. there are currently 2 versions of this product. one with the component input and one without. Mine came without. easy to attach, just plug in and go. It only comes with the car power thing so you will need your own wii power cord to attach. mine did came with the car bag to attach to the back of the seat. Screen wise its good but not 480p. It uses the same as the av cables resolutions. Also, wavy lines appear, noticeable, but not a distraction. menu only has: brightness, contrast, color. Nice that its has built in sensor bar but take note, if not angled correct, pointer goes haywire.

Games i tried:

.Zelda twilight princess: good, need to adjust brightness and contrast. text a bit hard to read but still readable. far away objects kind of hard to notice but not a huge problem.

.Muramasa:good, text a bit blurry but still fun to play, used this game for contrast adjustment.

.Super Smash Broes Brawl: hyrule castle ok, the ness level was really hard to see, snake was tiny you need to sit close to see. Good for single play, multi play, get a tv.

. wii sport resort: bright colors and big text, still good.

In short:
-screen does it's job
-has 2 head phone jacks
-easy attachment
-easy controls

Cons:
Screen size may be small for some games.
not 480p
wavy refresh lines

if you just want a screen for portable usage or college or alone play, get it. If playing with friends, get a tv.

Purchase the 7-inch color screen for Wii, so I could play when others are using TV. Great addition to my Wii, Recommend it to anyone who has a conflict with only 1 TV available.
Includes a built in sensor bar, and dual headphone jacks for private listening.
Uses power pack that comes with Wii and Wii motes. Has a harness for use in car, and a optional adapter that plugs into Ciggarette lighter. (Have not use this) so can't offer an opinion.
Highly reccomend it. And looking into getting another one, to use as a gift.

Seems to be good quality, although the Wii menu is primarily in white, and looks a little washed out and difficult to read (black text on a white background).
Mainly use it for Virtual Console and GameCube games, but even wii games with a lot of on-screen action work well (Geometry Wars is a good example. Bought it recently and haven't had any major problems with it).
Biggest draw back is that the Wii Remote doesn't work well close to the screen, so you do have to back up a good bit to get some good functionality when playing Wii games.
Not sure what to attribute it to, but there are horizontal waves that move across the screen as the image refreshes. A little annoying, but doesn't interfere with game play, just makes the product seem a bit cheap.
Works well with headphones.
I'm in the army and wanted something portable, so I am overall happy with my purchase.
I only gave it 3 stars because I don't see anything real great about it. Twice the power on my system did turn off when playing a game, and the system was on an unstable surface (my bed). So now I play with it on a desk, and the power hasn't cut off prematurely since.
It does what it says it does, wasn't impressed by the quality of it, but it is decent. It should do just what it says it does, but don't expect a high-quality gaming experience.

After seeing this product at a Target, I was thirlled to think of the fact that I could finally make my Wii portable. Playing on the 7" screen, wasn't such a bad experience. In fact, it was great. The things I most appreciated with this product was the volume quality, brightness adjustment, and best of all portability. Although it would've have been great if this 7" screen could run on a rechargeable bettery, I still am satisfied with the fact that I don't have to go through the process of hooking up my Wii to a tv. The only thing I thought could've been better was the size of the screen. Overall, I give this product a five star rating. It's great for playing in a car as well, and it'll make a great accessory for any Wii. So if you're thinking about buying this product, get it. However, if 7" is too small for you, then I would suggest waiting until a screen with a bigger size would be released. Wii rocks!!
