: NIVO told me about this WG 9200 during a late night chat. I had decided on a K4700 but he says that one of you guys has a link to the 9200, as he says the best arcade monitor out there from Gardner. I'm interested, help me out here. Also, I'm looking for the japanese joysticks still.
There is no link I am afraid, the WG folks dont seem to have a webmaster. The monitor is $485 plus shipping ($70 - $100) it is 27" it has both a VGA connection and a standard arcade monitor RGB connection, you can use one or the other but not both at the same time. It comes with NO documentation and be sure to remind them to put in a Power Cord. Oh, the monitor is the ABSOLUTE Bomb, picture is amazing with the arcade games and if your like me you can hook up your Dreamcast via the VGA Box and your Dreamcast Games are totally rockin' also. Because you have a VGA connection you dont have to do any hacking of cable, splicing, twisting together, its simply done already. I have not run windows on this cabinet but DOS Mame and ArcadeOS certainly work well together. If what you were getting is close in price to this monitor, this is the way to go. Oh and here is a tip, to degauss the monitor, simply hold the sel button down for a few seconds after the monitor has been on for a few minutes.
