I'll try to do one for the D9800 after the holiday vacations.

Hi shiloh was hoping you could post up what you thought of the D9800. I'm seriously thinking of buying one and would love to hear some opinions on it.
Thanks!

I have been using my d9800 for about 2 1/2 months now, no problems at all, very impressed with it. It even makes Windows look good.

Thanks gatordad for the info. The 9800 only comes in flatscreen correct? Is there anything lost by going with a flatscreen vs the curved screens of the 9200 or 9400? Finally, can you recommend a good place to purchase one online? Thanks!

I really wanted a curved screen, but choose a new 9800 over a refurbed 9400. The refurb actually costed more and came with a much shorter warrante (I believe it was 3 months compared to a full year).
I can say, after getting a bezel put around it and tinted glass over it, you'd have to really look to tell that the monitor wasn't curved. I am yet to regret this decision.

Thanks isucamper! One final question. What goes between the monitor and the bezel? Like a sheet of plexiglass? Or nothing at all? Any guidance on where to buy what goes in-between? Thanks!

I don't have anything between the monitor and bezel. edges of the bezel are flush with the monitor and lightly resting on it
glass goes over the bezel. so you you monitor->bezel->glass. some people make a frame for the glass to set on which would go inbetween the bezel and the glass, but if you've got a snug enough fitting piece of glass, this might not be needed

Warranty was the deciding factor for me as well.
I bought direct from Wells Gardner, I am fortunate that there is a WG warehouse 15 minutes from my house.
I just wish that the monitor bezel that they sold fit a little better, it's just a tad short vertically, but nothing that can't be hidden with a little effort.
As far as where to order from I have seen the d9800 on ebay from xarcade for a decent price. or try WG website.
