Thanks guys. |

I had a WG D9400 which I had to exchange THREE times due to major screen warping issues, and never had a monitor that looked right. Eventually I took a full return - thankfully, their customer service was top notch. I looked at the Betson monitors but in the end decided on Bil Labs. They are just better monitors all-around - first of all, they support 1024x768 resolution (the other two I believe are still limited to 800x600) which makes navigating Windows/MAMEUI much easier, and also makes vector games and game artwork look much cleaner, as you can imagine. They are also much lighter, which made mine a lot easier to fit into my cabinet, and mine had no warping at all from the first unit I was shipped. I'm not sure what happened to Bil Labs - I can't find them online anywhere (did they go belly-up?). If you can find one of theirs though, either on Ebay or perhaps even here somewhere, I'd highly recommend it. Do a search for their monitors on this forum - other people have mentioned and praised their monitors as well. Hope it helps. Good luck.. Shoegazer |

Bil Labs is strange... when I go to their site all I get is- "Why are you here?" It's a white screen with just plain text in the upper left corner. At first I thought maybe someone hacked their site but I just checked it again. Anyway, this sounds like a similar monitor http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/49271700.htm It's also 1024x768 native. |

Yeah, that's a VGA monitor - does VGA/SVGA. Don't know what happened to Billabs - though it doesn't matter, as they stopped making 27" digital multisyncs a year ago. --- Quote from: retrometro on August 24, 2008, 09:21:46 am ---The cab I have now had a WG D9200 that lasted about 6 years or so. I think something went wrong w/ one of the boards so I sold it for parts and got about $100 out of it for parts. I've replaced it with a WG D9400 and it's been used weekly for a year and has had no problems. The D9400 has a few upgrades from the D9200 and is a direct replacement model. --- End quote --- I remember you saying this but you hadn't before said when you got your D9400. A year is a decent testing period. --- Quote from: Shoegazer on August 24, 2008, 06:56:02 pm ---I had a WG D9400 which I had to exchange THREE times due to major screen warping issues, and never had a monitor that looked right.
