Neotec 27" Trisync monitor
« on: May 17, 2004, 08:58:25 pm »
Anybody here tried the Neotec NT-500DXB7 27" monitor?  According to their website, it does 15.75, 24.8, 31.5 ~ 38 KHz.  A possible alternative to the D9200?

Nice specs! Would indeed seem like a good alternative to the D9200. Anyone know of a EU-sources to buy this monitor? Or, dare I ask, Dutch dealerships for this brand?

Cool.

Anyone have info about availability, pricing, etc.?

Any indication it can switch resolutions on-the-fly?  I couldn't find anything about that on the site...

Happ Controls is a Neotec distributor. I suppose you could phone Neotec and ask for more details/specs on this monitor and the names of some dealers. Who knows---maybe Neotec will sell direct?

Here's the reply I got:

Dear Mr. Hendrix,

1. NT-500DXB7 is trisync monitor the frequency is automatically running from
15.75 to 38Khz, the only thing just switch the signal in-put cable when your
using VGA or S-VGA mode. CGA and EGA is 6 pin Molex connector, VGA and S-VGA
is 15 pin D-SUB connector.

2.We do sell directly to business, for public customer we have distributor
in Chicago. you can contact
Company name: PAL
              234 W. Devon Ave.
              Bensenville, IL 60106
              Dick Gilreath
              Tel:630-616-9499
              Fax:630-616-9610

3. The unit price is 500.00 for each.


Best regards

Joseph Wu

The $500 price is different than the $440 quoted to Tony though.

Well I guess I did not in fact identify myself as a "person" and not a "business" so I guess if I pursued the purchase that would eventually be exposed...I guess we now know that the mark up per unit is $60 when purchased through a distributor.  Will AdvanceMame run the unit at 15kHz through the VGA 15 pin connector? I have medium res Neotec 27" unit in my San Francisco Rush and it seems to be a nice unit (although I need to keep adjusting the focus pot on the monitor board which is a pain)

Looking at the D9200 specs, I see that it also says the CGA/EGA connector is the 0.156 center header connector.  How does it work on the D9200 with an ArcadeVGA?  Do you use the VGA conncector or the 6-pin Molex connector?

The specs on these two monitors are eerily identical, except for the fact that the Neotec does 800x600 and goes up to 38 KHz.  I'm eager to see what this bad boy will do.  Hopefully it's more reliable than the D9200.   :)

Like the D9200 and Neotec, my Hantarex Polostar also has both a 15-pin VGA connector and a 6-pin Molex. The VGA connector accepts 15kHz and 25kHz just fine.

The 6-pin Molex is actually for connecting an arcade PCB since the voltage levels coming from an arcade board are different from VGA.

Hey! It looks like I should drop in more often.

The US Distributor ("PAL")  for the NeoTec NT-500DXB7 monitor is actually Wico:

http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pages/page73.htm

Cost is $499.99 (+ whatever shipping)

I still haven't been able to find out mounting specs, but I'm guessing it's a "drop-in" replacement that should work fine in place of the D9200.

More details as I find them out.

I've got the money for either one of these or a 9200..

I'd love to get this one since it's 800x600 rated.

But who can tell me if it can handle switching refresh rates on the fly or if it can take 15k on the db15hd?

TP

 Ive seen this before when I used to work at an arcade.  To keep the focus clear (or any of the other adjustments that stray)... adjust it,  then use a hot glue gun and glue the pot in place by trailing it from the knob to the base.  Do not need too much... as you may need to remove it again someday in the distant future.

  It seems that sometimes the pots that are in these things are a bit 'loose'  and  vibrations  will cause them to move.  

  You can see that some of these pots are already hot glued in place.   Some use something like locktite as well, i think.


  I excitedly await info on these new monitors !  ^_^
 Kev, see if you can get one for video review...

The most important question to ask them is, does it have on-screen display and a memory which remembers settings for each resolution (as do PC monitors and the D9200)
Some full-range monitors don't have this which means you have to adjust the controls every time you switch resolutions from 15 to 31 etc.

I too thought about the Neotec trisync.  Getting straight answers from them is tough though.  The tech support guy I talked to said there is a dip switch that has to be changed when switching between 15k and 31k.  Who knows if this is really the case if you constantly use the vga hookup, I wasn't really confident in the answers I get from them.  Also the D9200 does 800x600 rather nicely although they do not advertise it.  It will also do 1024x768 interlaced although at this res it doesn't look so hot (flickers).  I ended up with the D9200 for the very reason that there is a lack of info for the neotec.  Was also concerned about not being able to save the adjustments for the different resolutions.

hope this helps

Ok, I called neotec today and spoke to a tech both in CA and in IL.
Both of them said that the monitor is the type you have to power down and change the jumper to select the sync rate.
(I still don't think they can grasp what we want to do with these monitors, but thats beside the point)

I chickened out and ordered my 9200. I then called and specified Truck shipping on a pallet. Hopefully this will prevent most of the damage most users have been reporting.

(I work for a computer dist, so we get trucks in every day, pallets are no problem here.. :)  )

Sorry, but I just couldn't take the 500 gamble that it would autosync.

I spoke to them also about the 19" 500Dxi9 and the guy said that it auto switch between CGA and EGA but if you want to use VGA, you need to set that up manually. I called the one in Pomona CA. Until now I had the impression that they don't know thier monitors. So, I may have to call again next week and just ask again.

I just found another arcade monitor option, one that looks better than the NeoTec:

27" Digital Multisync monitor:
Betson Imperial 44-4070-40

http://www.betson.com/betson%20parts%20catalog.pdf (page 84)

It's a multisync and supports 15Khz-40Khz

This may be what we've been looking for.

I'm not too impressed with the service from betson, I just sent in a 4050 chassis, they took 4 weeks to get back with me and tell me they can get any parts for it.
(Now if the manufacturer doesn't have parts, how am I susposed to find any!)

Betson-Imperial and Imperial International monotors are in reality Kortek monitors. If you have trouble getting assistance from Imperial, call Kortek's USA office in Nevada at (775) 359-2205.

Another tri-sync monitor worth investigating is the Weiya/Huai I Electronics/Eygo model M31 series. It is available in several picture tube sizes in both standard horizontal frame and universal style frame. You can even buy it as a 'retrofit' chassis. Check it out at www.weiya.com.tw/monitor/p8.htm

I'd still like someone to find where to buy those replacement chassis.

I called Victor at 8liners and he didn't know what I was talking about.

Anybody have the part numbers for the chassis only for the 19" and 27" chassis?

I'll email him and see if he can get a few with the next cargo container.

This is certainly a newbie monitor question, I know, but why can't the Multisync chassis listed right under the Betson Imperial 27" monitor in their catalog (page 84) be used with TV tubes like the 8liners chassis?

This may be a simplistic answer, but Standard TV tubes are of the same resolution as Standard arcade monitors.  But multisync monitors require a higher resolution tube (not just the electronics driving the tube).

But this does pose a more interesting question for me as I just replaced a 29" std/med monitor with a new Betson multisync.  The original monitor tube is in perfect condition (no burn or problems, very bright)...but the PCB is whats pretty old and crappy.  I wonder if I could buy the Betson multisync pcb and hook it to this tube.  At least for resale purposes it may be worth it for me.

I bet the difference will be in the yolk,
The tube doesn't need anything except enough dot pitch to handle the input.
Now the yolk needs to be able to work at all the frequencies.

Yep, now that sounds correct.  Thanks!
