Hello,
I want to buy a Wii u, but I dont have a TV, I do a lot on the computer. I was wondering if there is a way if I bought the Wii u, to comment to up to my Computer Monitor.

My monitor also supports HDMI

If you mean it has an HDMI port then yes.

you just plug it right in, but from my understanding you wont get audio

I heard the Wii U looks ugly on a computer monitor.

I honestly wouldn't know, but I heard the colors look "washed out" something about RNG.

I confirm. My current setup IS on my 24" computer monitor (Asus VW246H). It works wonders. If you want sound, your monitor needs to have built-in speakers (like mine). Otherwise, you'll only get the sound from the GamePad.

By the way, guys, HDMI also transports audio.

My screen does not have internal speakers. is there any way to attach standard external speakers to the console?

If your monitor has a headphone port you should be able to use headphones for sound. Mine does and the sound works fine (on a ps3)

Here is what im doing in a similar situation as yours. I'm running the hdmi to my computer monitor (24" samsung led) for video, Then i use an audio cable that has a male headphone connection into the gamepad's headphone jack, and on the other end of that audio cable is a red/white plug that is connected to one of my surround sound's inputs. Works great

Well, from my experience you can really see how ugly console graphics look when you're playing on a monitor, especially when you're sitting up close, I'd much rather play on a TV, plus getting the audio is a pain when you're using a monitor.

Id just buy a cheap TV if i were you.

I believe that there are devices that would extend the HDMI signal but let you plug in headphones or speakers in to get the sound from the HDMI cable...
