Monitor Question Betson or Wells?
wbassett:
Visitor Q I kinda have my eye on that one too!
Jakobud:
I don't have much experience with Arcade monitors but in the past 4 years of visiting this website, I have seen more people complain about Wells Gardner quality than anything else. I would NEVER purchase a WG product b/c of this. I have heard good things about Betson though.
DJ Infinity:
Makvision is my second choice behind Nieman. I hate the fact I got a WG9400 none of my NAMCO boards will display on it. Next year I will buy a Nieman to replace it and promptly chuck it in the dumpster at work.
Ummon:
Definitely leaving most devices like these on is better than constant on/off. When I got my first computer, I would only turn it on when I used it, which was for maybe a half hour, once or twice a day. After a little while, I started using it a bit more, and eventually I realised it was better and easier to leave it on all day.
With my arcade monitors, however, I don't have them on while I'm doing other things, so any particular one may only be on later in the day/evening. Of course, my main rig I also flash in and out of games and surf and stuff, so it's on for some hours.
As well - as someone else mentioned, I think, above - the constant changing of sync when switching between FE and games is a factor.

Those seem kind of a lot for that function, though. I might look on ebay for something similar likely for less.

Where do you live? I don't suppose you'd consider shipping it, would you (assuming I pay you of course)? You haven't thrown it on the ground in anger or anything yet have you? :P
