Betson Imperial Multisync problem
KevSteele:
Pac Threat,
The Hantarex Polo has been discontinued. If you find one, it'll do what you want (I've gotten feedback from someone who just found one), problem is it was never sold in the US, just Europe.
I'm pretty sure the NeoTec can do 800x600, but I'll have to go check the specs again.
I hadn't heard of the Sharpimage, but looking at the specs:

it looks like it won't do 15Khz or 25Khz which is critical for MAME games. It'll do 800x600 easily, however.

man...after reading this thread I guess I am lucky that the betson I picked up (at Betson's Carteret, NJ location) in October did not need to be rotated.
I have nothing but good things to say about it after 2 months...all the games look great (using the res. tool) and Arcade VGA
PC games look great too at 800x600.....my son plays Age of Mythology and the graphics are spectacular

KevSteele:
Yeah, if your Betson is okay out of the box, it's definitely the best arcade monitor I've used.
Unfortunately, that lack of rotation means you're in a world of trouble if it does need to be rotated.
My D9200, for all it's failures and faults, at least had a working rotate and focus adjustment (and I needed to use both of them!)

Someone should write up a description for the "perfect" arcade monitor that lists detailed specs and required features and send it to all the arcade monitor makers. We could even make it like a petition and get everyone here to put their name and a piece of contact info like a phone number or email to show them that we're serious.
I'm not sure that we are a large enough group to have a monitor made just for us but maybe we can influence the design of future monitors.
The Spade:
In case anyone has misunderstood me, I am not bashing Betson at all, but I think I've made my personal feelings about the monitor clear.
