WG D9000 26" LCD review "edit at bottom of post"
Calamity:
kalars123,
In your review you say you had to use VGA setup in VMMaker and D9800 for mame.ini (groovymame). That's interesting because D9800 setup will probably use some 15Khz resolutions. Is it possible with your current setup to run groovymame mk -v -md 4 and post the logs so we see which modeline is being used?

here ya go, looking through it though it say's it's enabling vsync.... i have that turned off in mame.ini
"edit"
and a picture of what the monitor is report
it's possible that it could be accepting 15khz signals through VGA, i based my original findings on the fact that the AVGA 3k by default only outputs 15khz signals through normal vga and no matter what i did the monitor would not sync to it just reported out of range.
Calamity:
Perfect! It's using a 15.29 KHz video mode, this is the modeline it's using:
Modeline "400x256" 7.830000 400 416 456 512 256 260 263 279
So the monitor does accept 15KHz through VGA. Probably it works here because D9800 porch values are similar to D9000's. Vsync is automatically enabled by groovymame when it considers the output refresh is close enough to the target one, regardless your ini settings.
So the output refresh shoud be 54.81 Hz. Now, run mk again and press F11 to show fps. If it is 100%, then, as we have vysnc enabled, we'll know for sure that the output refresh is correct.
Finally, go to the player's selection screen in mk. That screen shows a continuous scrolling. Keep your eye on it for 10 seconds or more. If it's perfectly smooth, with not even a single hiccup, then that's the definitive proof that it can refresh its panel at 54.81 Hz.

I can't draw any conclusions by watching that video.
We need your judgment here. Is is soft like silk? Any hiccup?
