Title: Heck with Happs - I need monitor options
Post by: MYX on February 07, 2006, 11:38:31 am

Hey all,
I just tried to order my monitor through Happs. I do not have credit cards because I would use them. so I have a debit card. To use a debit card they will pull money from my account, then when the order is processed they will hit your card again and then after 4 days when they have shipped the order they will credit back the account. WTF!
So, today I called back to see if they will accept a money order and they would. The person started to tell me the costs and they wanted to charge tax. They are not even in Georgia!!! Wanted to charge the handeling charge. It was going to be shipped from Illinois as they will not have one in SC untill March so the shipping went up $10. Then because of the same issues with the bezel and CP clamps total shipping was close to 20$ more because it had to go out of Il. I really wanted a vision pro as I have read nothing but good things about them. Heck with em'!

Can you recomend a good monitor (arcade) that I can get that does not touch the fingers of Happs. I am looking for a 19 in. that can be mounted vertically. They had some at the last auction for $160, but I do not know the brand.

Go to www.penn-ray.com and download the latest sales flyer # PR07. Check out the prices on the Kortek monitors. These are good units and the prices are excellent right now as the sale is good till the end of this month.

Thanks whatzcrackn
I have heard of the happ monitor but not the betson. Anyone using a betson?

I sent the e-bay guy a message asking about the monitors and what models they are.

Hey Ken, thanks for the heads up. They are out of that monitor. He said that they were sold out before the flyer went out.  ???

If it is a shelf mount how do I put it make it vert?
