Looking for Billabs 24.8" monitor
« on: April 06, 2007, 10:58:40 pm »
The Billabs BL24C90T looks like the ideal monitor for what I'm doing, but I can't find a place to buy one anywhere!
I've emailed Billabs about it but communication is a little slow so I thought I'd ask here if anyone knew of a source for one.

The Nieman 24.8" tri mode is available now plus Nieman has several distributors. Try their monitor instead.

Try contacting Billabs at www.billabs.com

I have, it takes 2-3 days to get a reply and so far I haven't got any useful info from them.

Wow, 2~3 Days for a reply when you are trying to buy... wonder how long if you had a problem.

I even answer e-mails on the weekend.

Depending on where you are I can refer to refer you to a distributor or sell direct.

I don't know why people aren't breaking your door down, Rick.

How does the Neiman compare to the Billabs? The reason I'm asking is because I've heard the Neiman doesn't support as many resolutions, I don't know if what I've heard is valid though.

Nieman has a tri-sync - which does EGA, CGA, and VGA - and, what I'd call a tri-sync, but isn't a 'tri-sync' - as it does VGA, SVGA, and XGA. True, the Billabs is a penta-mode (and a Betson does almost as well in this area, given it goes up through SVGA), so you have to figure what you're wanting it for.  My guess of why Rick makes these two is for reasons of quality and quality control.

Yes, there is a reason we do not do a quad res...

There is an extreme difference in scan rates between say 15khz (standard res) and say 800X600(38Khz) or 1024X768 (XGA).

This places a huge demand on the Horizontal circuits, it requires a very specific yoke.

Companies like Kortek, Neotec and even Wells have done this in the past only to have pre-mature failures.

We are working on a broader range of resolutions... but as they say only fools rush in.
