Title: Betson doesn't make 19" multi sync - Should I still go with D9500?
Post by: juggle50 on April 17, 2007, 03:13:14 pm: Well,

Looks like Betson doesn't make a 19" multi sync monitor. Is my only choice the D9500? If so are they still having problems?

When you click on it it brings up a 27" multisync image though. I'm guessing it's not digital because the 27" version has a board with all the adjustment pots on it.

Post by: ahofle on April 17, 2007, 09:51:23 pm: Did you mean to type Billlabs? Or does Betson have one too? :dizzy:
Any idea if it's digital (ie. remembers settings between resolutions) or analog (pots required to manually change settings)?

Click the 27"monitor on main page, then go to show specials, lower left, monitors on last page of sale flier.

Post by: ahofle on April 18, 2007, 12:54:47 pm: LOL, it always amazes me when companies don't bother to properly advertise their stock on a website. That monitor isn't even listed under their normal 'monitors' link, but buried in some obscure 'ASI Specials 07' link to a PDF file.

Post by: juggle50 on April 18, 2007, 01:18:45 pm: Cool that Bilabs has a 19"

What is the difference between the BL19C91t and BL19BC1t? Is it a digital monitor. Can it do 800x600 there isn't much info on the site.

Post by: juggle50 on April 18, 2007, 03:27:52 pm: Okay, I got the skinny from Bilabs - If they are correct.
The BL19C91t is an analog Multisync Monitor and doesn't support 800 x 600 resolution even in interlace
The BL19BC1t is a digital monitor but does not support CGA or EGA resolutions. only VGA and SVGA

So...does this mean that the WG 9500 is my only option to have a 19" multisync monitor that supports 800x600 resolution?

Post by: juggle50 on April 18, 2007, 04:08:32 pm: I don't really know anything about Neiman. Are the D9500s supposed to be really bad?
Title: Re: Betson doesn't make 19" multi sync - Should I still go with D9500?
Post by: ahofle on April 18, 2007, 04:39:47 pm: I think most of the bad press around here was with the D9200. I personally haven't heard many people say anything about the newer WG models. If a 19" digital multisync is really what you need, and WG has a warranty of at least a year, I would probably try it out. I think most of the D9200 failures were pretty soon after purchase.

Post by: grantspain on April 18, 2007, 05:30:01 pm: i don't know about the new wg monitors,we stopped using them in the u.k after all the problems with u5000
if they are giving a 1 year warranty and its what you want then its worth a punt
