Title: Wells Gardner D9400 a bit too big, alternatives?
Post by: releasedtruth on August 10, 2006, 05:10:24 pm

I think I'm going to have to go with an arcade monitor. My soul demands it, but I don't want a 27" I love the WG stats, but I'd like a 25" with similar abilities. Anyone have recommendations? I checked a view brands, but didn't find anything of note. The K7000 WG series just don't have the resolution. Thanks,

GT

What do you mean, don't have the resolution?

I was under the impression that the K7000 series was only CGA. I figured it would be more prudent to get something in the VGA range for windows usability.

Manufacturers are retards .... the 25" is becoming obsolete more and more.
Replacement tubes are highly limited.

Browse around, but I doubt you'll find a 25" multi-sync type with vga.

I appreciate the help. I'd tried Happ, Hantarex, etc, but you're right, 25" isn't a hot commodity anymore. I can fit a 27" in the cab I think, but it would be too big for my setup. The TV I had in mind was 270+35 for the video card, the 9400 is 550+90 ArcadeVGA so 305 or 640. TV just isn't ideal. I want to be a player, I really do...  :(
