Is there one? Or would I be better off trying to find a flat pannel monitor that also supports HDMI or w/e the standard is.

I don't know of any DVI adapters for consoles, but if the console in question has an HDMI port (PS3, 360 Elite), then you should be able to get an HDMI-to-DVI adapter and use that. Of course, if you're wanting to use a PC monitor that has both DVI and VGA ports as well as a 360, you can use the DVI for the PC while you can get a VGA adapter for the 360 and connect the 360 using the VGA port.

Does the Wii support HDMI?

There's always this thing:

It'll convert anything that has component video out (which is basically everything these days) to DVI. Good luck getting one, though. They sell out like nobody's business - I've never found a place that actually had them in stock.

Nope. It only goes up to component.
