Over the weekend I finally hooked up my AVGA card and WG-D9200 monitor. Previously I had been playing on a tiny PC monitor on a $17 video card that screwed up all the resolutions. So I'm coming at this from a particularly bad start but OH MY GOD what an amazing difference this combination produces. For now I'm running MAME32 but once I get it in the cab I plan to switch to regular MAME with a front end (prolly MAMEWAH). But mostly the right resolution came up automatically (couple I had to tweak). It was just such a joy to play all these old games in colorful, 27" glory. And even MORE than the arcade games, the old console games (SNES and Genesis) look awesome as well! Now more than ever I can't wait to get the cabinet built. I played all weekend with the monitor sitting on a desk and my CP on an ottoman. :)

Why oh why can't their be a multi-mode 19" equivalent. :'(
27" is just too big for me.
