For the proper retro gaming aesthetic, plenty of gamers look to old CRT displays.

Older games can look better on these displays because the original programmers took their visual characteristics into account.

Finding a CRT from the 90s or early 2000s is one option, but an even better option is a broadcast video monitor (BVM) which were extremely high quality CRTs with some other features, like the ability to install a Wii straight to an expansion port on the monitor itself( Nitter).

Thanks to an open design for cards made for Sony monitors, the Wii was able to be made into one of these cards by “trimming” away the unnecessary parts of the console’s PCB and mapping its video and audio outputs to the slot connector.

While the Wii might not be everyone’s idea of retro, it was still a console that came out when plenty of people still had CRTs as their primary home television.

It isn’t as necessary to have a CRT for a Wii as some of the older consoles, but it was very easily adaptable to this single-board design.
