I have just received a 25" Kortek Monitor and have had it installed in my new cab. I've got the Arcade VGA Card and I bought the breakout VGA cable to go with it. I'm a little confused about the V and H connections to plug in. The Kortek monitor I have has a connector on the circuit board with the following pins marked:
R G B E V+ H+ E V- H-
| | | | | | | | | |
-----------------------------------
The VGA Breakout cable has R,G,B, H, V & I. Obviously the RGB connect to RGB, but do the V and H connect to the - or the + pins?? From what I've read on the ultimarc site, I think I should plug into the negative V and H pins, but I'm not sure. I'm totally new to Arcade monitors so any help would be appreciated.

As a GUESS, I would expect E, V- and H- to go to ground which it looks like I is on your cable. Then you just connect RGB, GND and H/V+.
-
Just the E's go to ground (I on your cable)--then you hook up either the H+/V+ OR H-/V- depending on your monitor. The wells gardner k7191 uses the H-/V- so you could start there--all you will get is no sync if you are using the wrong pair.

Thanks for that guys. I'll try hooking it up and see how it goes. I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about with Arcade Monitors.

ArcadeVGA outputs negative sync signals. suggest try connecting wires H and V to H- and V- on the monitor. The I wire is ground. think that should go to E.
Some monitors expect a composite sync. advantages of AVGA giving negative syncs is that composite sync can be made by simple joining the H and V wires together.
