Title: Betson Imperial Multisync for $400, or Wells Gardner D9200 for $550?
Post by: hiperco on January 27, 2005, 09:54:18 pm

Decisions decisions....

Both of these monitors are availble at my regional Betson location (about a one hour drive each way).   The sales manager at Betson suggested quite strongly that his preference would be the WG D9200, on account of warranty/repair support (if needed) later.  (They have 10 D9200's in stock, and only one Betson Imperial, and he didn't even know it was made by Kortec  ::) )

I really like the specs much better on the Betson, but its probably true that if I need warranty support, or parts in a year or two after the warranty expires, that WG will be much easier to get ahold of...

Discuss  ;D

I just ordered a Betson 27 inch about a 2 months ago and I have been very happy. I can run windows at 800 x 600 and looks incredible on the Mame games. The only thing that surprised me was that shipping was $110 because they had to send it by Roadway. UPS would not ship the monitor. I am running a new ArcadeVGA card with the monitor. The one I received was a Kortek KT-2914F. Hope that helps. I have had some problems from Betson trying to find a bezel that fits the monitor. They sent me 2 that did not fit, so I am trying to find out if the Happs 27 inch bezel will work.
