Title: Help identifying monitor
Post by: Spacebound on September 20, 2014, 01:01:46 pm

Hello! I could really use some help identifying this monitor.

I really just need to know what resolutions it supports (or at leas the max resolution) and refresh rate I guess? I don't have much experience with arcade monitors.

The only identifiable markings I could find on it are:

Pantranic A63PNT13X
E133019
V 25 VIIO COTY
Rodo 300808
JW-RODO-888A

I have searched and searched and the only thing I have been able to find is other posts by people trying (unsuccessfully) to find out what the monitor is.

Do you know what max resolution it supports by any chance? My friend and I got it hooked up today but we could never get the picture right.
