I would assume you would need a VGA lead if one is available.

Depending on what kind of input the LCD has VGA/DVI etc, check this out:

I don't know much about the Wii, but according to their website it has a VGA output. If this is so, just pick up one of those TV to VGA converter boxes and a 15$VGA to DVI dongle.
If you wanna make it so you can switch back and forth from PC to Wii, add a VGA switch cheap like 10-15$. |

Nice gear. It only has D-sub outputs though - ¢2 says his is DVI. Although they nearly always have a D-sub for fallback...

yeah even tho he said DVI, i figured since 99% of the monitors either have both or atleast come with adapter, it shouldnt be a problem
and yes i know x2vga isnt cheap, but if u realy want to use a PC Monitor for console gaming i would say its the best choice |

 However his monitor is DVI, so unless it comes with a db15 to DVI , gotta pick 1 up.
