Hello:
Thank you for the update. Is there any MAME games that need more than 640X480 res. This looks like a great deal. :)

: Hello:

: I finally hooked up my Happs Monitor (Vertically) and it ROCKS! You have to see the old vertical games like PacMan, Galaga, etc... I will post pictures once my cabinet is finished (#6)

: As far as the horizontal games (Defender, Berzerk, etc.) They seem to work with the 224x288 'no scanlines' resolution (which the monitor seems to do). Even the Vector games (Asteroids, etc) look ok, although Tempest (because it's a vertical game) looks awesome!

: I only have 1 minor annoyance: Another one of my favorite games is Gauntlet, which has a 336 horizontal resolution. Now (follow me on this) One of the monitor's resolutions is supposed to be 640x350. Rotating Gauntlet, and using this 640x350 mode should only give me a difference of 14 which makes 7 dots on each side. To me, this would fit perfectly! Unfortunately, though, I cannot get this monitor to use the 640x350 mode. Everything runs at 640x480. So, Gauntlet runs in a little box in the center of the screen :( So does Marble Madness =(

: But all in all I LOVE IT! I just painted my cabinet last night and hopefully will be at least mounting the monitor in the cabinet this weekend...
