According to the link, u/i_am_penis posted Tafo used this one but I'm not sure if it's actually the ideal one.
The Amazon rating doesn't look particularly convincing.
Ehh not necessarily. You use an external converter that's dedicated to it to speed up the process and improve the look: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EA7ZUA
And anyway, if you read the comments on the post in my edit, you can see that people have switched to LCDs with good success.
Edit: Also, I'm talking about monitors, not HDTVs, which generally have significantly more lag, but that could have been an unintentional typo
Edit2: The 480i upscaling is also very dependant on the quality of the monitor you're working with. The newer and more expensive, the better the decoding chip generally is. There are again also external decoders that probably work even better.
Here's the article about using lag and CRT alternatives. It has links to the converter and AverMedia thing it mentions testing at the bottom.
Heads up though: the AverMedia one is kind of expensive, and the C&E component converter it recommends has like 60% one star reviews. It might work just fine and you could probably test and return it if it doesn't work well, but just thought you should know. Here's the link to the reviews.
I might recommend using Dolphin on a computer if you can. I believe it doesn't lag because it's run on the computer, it's not too difficult to set up, and it works with a Wii U Gamecube controller to USB converter, which is only like 20 bucks.

Like I said it does over-gamma the signal a bit. An alternative also tested as lagless is this C&E component to HDMI. It doesn't over gamma the signal, but requires you have the wii component cables. It has bad reviews but supposedly works and most of the reviews seem like they are from people who know nothing about technology.

You also need a proper converter to get minimal lag. Either this or this. Both have been tested to work fine (the C&E supposedly looks better though).
Hey, I know this post is from a month ago, but I am currently doing research on setting up my own lagless setup. I was considering getting this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EA7ZUA
I saw it on that article about the setups they used at EVO, would the wii2hdmi adapter be superior in anyway to that?

They did a test with a comparable monitor and the adapter + LCD combo gave < 6 ms of lag.
Seems like high end video capture devices give less lag but regular converters still aren't bad.
These are the converters they used.

My TO uses four of them for recording and playing on a HD monitor that together only has 0.3 frames of lag
If you wouldn't want to record you could use this to play on an HD monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Component-YPbPr-HDMI-converter-v1-3/dp/B009EA7ZUA
