ASUS ML239H Learn More: www.amazon.com 8.7/10 Although the screen specs are superb, the lack of user-friendly options like wall mounting makes it fall short of the best. 8. BENQ EW2420 More Details: www.amazon.com 8.65/10 Usually VA panels have fairly slow response times, but BenQ has managed to make this monitor’s response time much faster than typical VA panels. 7. Gateway FHX2402L bid Save More: www.amazon.com 8.45/10 This Gateway monitor provides a good picture, but it could use more adjustability. 6.

More highlights from my “NightLife Show” which ran on local cable TV in FL from 1980-1986. This is one of my final NightLife TV Shows that made it to air. This program shows the revolutionary Adam Computer in it’s final days. This program is not complete as the original videotape loses it’s tracking before the end. However, since it’s one of the few programs devoted to the departed Adam, I wanted to show it anyway. I had to read off the specs as I didn’t know what any of this was back then. The Coleco Adam was an attempt in the early 1980s by American toy manufacturer Coleco to follow on the success of its ColecoVision game console. The Adam was not very successful, partly because of early production problems. In its favor, the Adam had a large software library from the start. It was derived from and compatible with the ColecoVision’s software and accessories, and, in addition, the popular CP/M operating system was available as an option. Its price gave a complete system: a 64 KB RAM computer, tape drive, letter-quality printer, and software including the Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom video game. The IBM PCjr sold for $669 but included no peripherals, and although the popular Commodore 64 sold for around $200, its price was not much lower after the purchase of a printer, tape or disk drive, and software.

I’ve been trying to get my ArcadeVGA card hooked up to my Wells Gardner 7191 25″ arcade monitor, but it is having many issues, not the least of which is a constant scrolling image that just won’t lock. Is it a problem with the video cable or something like that? Can anyone please help me out to get this fixed please?
