There's this little $540 sinking feeling in my stomach ($716 if you include Watkins shipping to a residential address) that's telling me either I didn't do enough research, was sold the wrong monitor, or am merely ignorant on the topic and don't know what I'm talking about.
I purchased a Billabs
BL27CB0P. I've been waiting to get my AVGA card before powering this thing on. Just now I noticed that the monitor actually comes with a 15-pin female VGA "in" mounted to the chassis. Then I began to wonder why they had packaged this other adapter with the box, so I began looking at the instructions a bit further.
It would appear from my admittedly novice-level understanding of arcade monitors that this very expensive monitor will display 15Khz to 50Khz refresh rates ***BUT*** that is does so through the use of two different inputs. I'm no brainiac, but common sense is telling me that if I want to play 15Khz games, I'm gonna need to use a completely different computer or figure out how to pipe both signals into this monitor from a single machine.
Please click on the image with the instructions for a more detailed view.
Things I don't know:
How many games, actually run at a 15Khz refresh.
How many of the games above I will actually play.
Whether or not the dual input is a common concept in other arcade monitors.
How to use two sources for this monitor.
Whether or not Billabs will take this monitor back and how much additional I'm going to have to spend.
Someone PLEASE tell me I'm all wrong on this!
