AMAZING deals on WellGardner and other industrial montors!
greg:
Go with the used monitor they are offering (hopefully the packing will be better). I bought the factory sealed wells-gardner from this ebay seller and the factory packing was terrible. There was absolutely no styrofoam or any packing protection for the rear of the monitor. The tube on the yoke was shattered and the back plate was hanging loosely. (All it's good for is parts) It arrived in a sealed 19" monitor box, which puzzled me. They told me at midwest digital that wells gardner ran out of 18" monitor boxes when they produced these.
Again, get the used since they will do the packing for you.
They are 18" d-9200's. They can fit in a 19" space and my atari bezel does fit it (almost). Unfortunately, I could not power it up, but they are XGA.

Re 21" KDS
I did some digging and one person said that they have it working at 1600x1200 without problems.
Another person said that they can't get it to work on their PC no matter what... I'm still digging to find out what res's and refresh rates he tried.
But it is clear: All this monitor is good for is MAME use. You will NOT be able to use it (the 21" KDS or the 18" WG) in any authentic game machine as they're PC refreshes (30 KHz and above) not 15.75.
However I'm hoping this CAN be used all all the strange rates/sizes for MAME use from a standard PC card, and gain me an extra 2" of screen space over my P.O.S.-19" "CTL" monitor that has seen 20 hours of use and died once already while I'm waiting to build my cabinet.
The KDS has 19.9" visible, vs 17.9 for most 19" PC tubes. That means a veritical game in a horizontal display will fill a diagonal of about 15" vs 13.5" on a 19". [Good if you're a classic vertical game fan but don't want to mount it upright]
dgodwin:
does anyone think they could mount one of these monitors (the 18" wells gardners) vertically. I'd be interested in making a verticle mame cabinet with one.

from what I can tell, the 18" is a d-9100...as seen on Wells Garner's site:http://www.wellsgardner.com/wellsgardner31/finditem.cfm?itemid=612
These babies go for $370! This guy selling em for $15-25 (plus shipping) is wow!
I have acab with a 19" arcade monitor, but want to run an svga @ 800x600. So I hope i can mount this 18" right in place of the 19" monitor. an thoughts?
TIA!
