neotec nt-2701 or WG d9200

[caykroyd]

I have an opportunity to get either of these monitors.  I have and arcade vga into a JPAC. 

I am buying a Golden Tee machine.  One has a neotec the other WG.  The neotec one is much cheaper.  What are the pros and cons of each?

thanks,
Craig

The Neotec 2701 is one resolution only: EGA (medium res). The Wells 9200 is a multisync: CGA, EGA, VGA resolution.

In terms of reliability, the Neotec is superior over the Wells.

Thanks for the info.  I like the reliability part.  Will the neotec handle most mame games?  Will the quality be worse.  Am I limited in anyway with it.

Again, I'll be using an arcadevga.

thanks for the help.

If you are using an ArcadeVGA and going to MAME your machine, I would recommend going with a different monitor entirely.   I would consider one of the multisyncs from Billabs, Betson, Happ Controls, or Nieman Displays.   I hear that Wells Gardners these days are unrelliable, and it is difficult to run EGA res with an ArcadeVGA, as it usually puts out CGA or VGA depending on the mode.  For example, the Billabs BL27CB0P is similarly priced in the range of the D9200, and is far better reliably, and will officially go as high as 1024x768, while at the same time being able to run arcade resoultions natively.
