Wells-Gardner Monitors?
« on: July 09, 2006, 11:57:02 pm »
I have been to Wells-Gardners site looking for a 33" 9200 series monitor, they say use the 9400 series but have none listed. Are they going through a product revamp or have they discontinued that size altogether? I am building the Ultimate arcade II Quad and would realy like that size.

Wow, as someone who has a UAII 4 player cabinet, I would think you'd be in for a nice big headache with a 33" monitor on that thing just a couple feet from your face.  I thought the 27" was too big and opted for a 24" TV.  I'm still waiting on a 25" multisync monitor to come around.  I'd only use a 33" monitor for a showcase cab personally.

The last time I talked with anyone at Wells-Gardner, they had several new monitors (along with the new 24.8" medium res monitor) scheduled to actually be released AT THE VERY END OF THIS YEAR. So you've got to wait a while.

Is it going to be the same quality as the 9200?  If I recall, you weren't too impressed with the quality of that monitor (to say the least!).

See the video games forum at www.vendoramusements.com and look at the thread titled, "Open Letter to Wells-Gardner". It's very eye-opening to say the least.

I read the article, and it sounds like I should be looking for a different brand, any suggestions?
