In Reply to: Hmm... Still pretty pricey... how do vector games look at 640x480? posted by rmfx on 3, 2001 at 9:56 PM:

It goes up to 1024x768. It's an overall excellent monitor, tho sometimes I kinda ask myself what I was smoking when I spent all the money I paid for it... ;)

All games look very good, vectors too. Only negatives are that despite the huge screen and big dot pitch, it still looks somewhat "PC monitor" - lacking some of the slight blurriness of arcade displays. That may be a good thing - personal preference. The other negative, is that it's not super bright like a TV or old 15Khz monitors. It's normal brightness. Looks fine though - just doesn't blind you if you look up close to it like the old arcade monitors would. ;P

It IS a very good compromise display though, because it does everything well, if nothing perfect. It's quite good enough to work at, text at 800x600 is quite crisp, and games look big and colorful. Nice speaker system with little sub-woofer built-in as well, plus lotsa good input/output options and a cool remote control... Now I'm starting to remember why I bought this. Hehe. :)

For a cabinet, I'd really go for the WG D9200 though, which was not available when I bought my Princeton (damnit, cuz it costs way less too).
