I am very sad this was never resolved. Though, I had a great time reading through it.

I don't know near enough about this sort of thing to understand most of this but here was what I got out of it:
torino was able to get his LCD to preform tests well at variable sync rates. However, he was not able to get any of his actual games to scroll smoothly.

This leaves me with the obvious question:
Has anyone been able to get an LCD to run games through MAME at varying sync rates?

Thanks,
 - Mike

EDIT:
Also, on the Wells Gardner website, it gives the following specs for their WGF2679-SSAS25H monitor:
Resolution: 15-70KHZ CGA/EGA/VGA

15-70KHZ? Can it be?

The sad thing about this is that it was actually resolved  ;D

Well, Has anyone been able to get an LCD to run games through MAME at varying sync rates? Can the 9200 display games correctly and smoothly at 15mhz?

Sure, but it fully depends on the LCD model, and you can't know it beforehand.

At least the D9000 can, check this thread:

Very cool. Thanks for all the good info.

I am now stuck between Mak High-Res and WG 9000.

I am gearing towards Mak because of the 4:3 ratio (yes I know I can display in 4:3 on the WG with black bars). As far as I can tell both monitors will give me about the same quality picture. And yes, I am taking into account the obvious advantages of a LCD vs CRT.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts? Go for the CRT, always go for the CRT.

I mean, it's great for the hobby that some LCDs can do custom refresh rates, and it would be even better to have a list of them.

HLSL is cool, people will tell you they're so much satisfied with it, but... if I really could choose and had some very basic skills, I'd just go for the real thing.

Sounds good to me. I am gonna drive over to Betson's Dallas distributor (I am lucky enough to live 5 mins away) and pickup a Mak High-Res.

Thanks again for the help!
