Can't remember the last time I got a WG monitor new in box that actually included any paperwork.... |

Sony CRT monitors made in Malaysia have a bad habit of being plagued with problems too. Maybe it is the same factory :dunno |

I was also under the impression that WG were the best... Since you guys are clearly more knowledgeable than I, can you recommend a good arcade monitor to use in a MAME cab, possibly hooked up through ArcadeVGA? I'm trying to plan my project, and since this is the most expensive component, I really want to get it right. Thanks for any help! |

Did they just recently change, or has it been a couple years? -Stobe |
