Before buying a Wells-Gardner monitor, read about their problems
Ummon:
At least one person here has one.....isucamper, maybe? Also want to mention people on ebay are selling at least the D9800 for the same as WG, but possibly less shipping, so look for those.

I have a D9800 sitting in a box waiting to finish my cabinet build. But the only thing I have to drive it is a windows XP laptop right now. I'll download the Nokia Monitor Test software and try and snap a few pictures at different resolutions this weekend.
Any prefernce on picture sizes?

Hi, Thanks! I actually bought one yesterday.. if everything goes well I'll post a review too. I'd still like to see your pictures though, they can be compared.
I don't have any preferences on picture size, as long as they are clear.

ok, 1st thing learned is I need to learn how to use my camera. But after setting the shutter speed to 1/40 of a second pictures came out much better.
2nd thing is I need to learn how to adjust the monitor. I added some pics to photobucket at:

They resized the images down to 1024x768. But you can still see some of the artifacts. My monitor is a WGZ2798-U0FS08S. The top portion of the screen is skewed to the right a little bit. I only noticed it on the top right corner, but in the pictures I can see it a little on the left side as well. I think it can be adjusted, but I'm not sure what one of the many options I should use.
Overall though I an happy with the monitor. Just a few minor settings to tweak =)

Looks nice! I already have a cab up and running, so I'll do some of the low res tests too :)
