Can anyone give me an idea on the differences between mounting these two monitors?
WGM2792-U0TS42A and WGM2792-H0TS59L
I understand that one is a universal mount and the other is horizontal. the horizontal is $35 cheaper right now at American Gaming and it looking pretty sweet - much cheaper than buying locally anyway. Does the H mount still have the mounting bracket like the one pictured on their web site

Thanks!

OK - well I figured out I needed the universal mount, so I ran out and picked one up. The problem is, when I got home, I noticed the model number had a G in it instead of a T. This means it is a games grade monitor and not a TV grade monitor. I was under the impression I needed a T, does anyone know the difference? I may have to take this back tomorrow.
Thanks!

Well for anyone who cares....
I went back to the place where I picked this up locally and they SWEAR that I don't need the generic monitor (42A) and that this one will work just fine without an isolation transformer. So the tech there made me up a power cable, promissed me the monitor will not be 'hot' and said - 'I do bench work on these all the time without a problem just like this'. I did have to pick up a VGA cable as well since the 09B didn't come with that cable either. I'll be either electrocuted or playing soon :o

From what I've read in these forums and elsewhere nobody makes monitors that require isolation transformers anymore so you should be fine.

:D
You're right! After plugging in the cord and the VGA, I was up and running!
This monitor is sweet!
;D

I'm curious how you decided that you needed to get the universal mount. I want to mount my monitor like this
http://home.austin.rr.com/shumate/unicade/photos/frame-monitor.jpg (http://home.austin.rr.com/shumate/unicade/photos/frame-monitor.jpg). Do you know if this can be done with the horizontal mount ? I'd like to try and save some $ and get the horizontal mount but I obviously need to make sure it will mount correctly :-)

That picture shows a universal mount.
From reading the WG web site, I found the horizontal mount monitors have the mounting brackets on the sides instead of the top and bottom.
From their site:
Horzontal Mount:
This is a mounting scheme whereby the picture tube is in the horizontal position. There are two side brackets with handles in them that the picture tube mounts to with four screws.
Universal Mount
Universal mount monitors can be mounted in different configurations. There is a bracket on the top and one on the bottom of the picture tube. There are two "U" channel brackets that can be mounted in differen5 positions ion the top and bottom brackets.
Looks like you would need the Universal mount to mount your monitor that way.
