Makvision / Rodotron / Wei-Ya are the same?

Post by javiertoti »

Hi guys, I have a little doubt

Wei Ya M3129DF-72 , Rodotron CH-M666A-29 and Makvision 29" Tri-Mode Monitor
... are the same?

I think that yes but i'm not sure. Are they good monitors? Fits on a Naomi cabinet without doing anything?


Thanks.

The Makvision 29" is 100% definitely a re-badged Wei-Ya M3129DB1-72 (well, tbh it's not even particularly re-badged, just the box - the chassis even still says Wei-Ya on it :P)

I have the possibility to buy a monitor directly from WeiYa. Any experiences with it?
They talk me about payment "T/T in advance" :? . What is it?

Anyway, will I need to make some mods... power or vga?


Here is the tech info of the monitor. Very useful :lol:

Anyone can put some images and videos of a Wei Ya M3129DF-72 or VERY similar in action or links?. To view 15Khz mode quality, Image controls, has osd?¿, how switch between 15-25-31Khz. What brand of CRT has?. etc. Some sort of mini review of that monitor.

Thank you masters!

Thank you javiertoti & kernow :)

I want to use it in 15khz 95% of the time (MAME, 80's-90's games). I'm confused whith the 15 khz capabilities of the Wei Ya M3129DF-72 monitor.I would love to see some screenshots on how look in 15Khz. :? :? :?

Or...there is an actual alternative in the market (new condition) in 27/29 with a good 15khz mode . It is not essential to have 25-31Khz mode. :? :? :? I only found Weiya web in internet.

Peace!

Thanks A LOT kernow :) :) for post the images i'm looking for. I see the scanlines intensity...Turn the graphics a little blocky?¿
This is from a NEOGEO real PCB or MAME? If mame, is possible to see how pacman-1943-rayden,(no matter what the picture is sideways), and street fighter 2 looks in that monitor.

I'm a little annoying... but i'm very confused to purchase that monitor because i'm not a richman.

I've seen on the website of wei-ya they have a CGA only CRT 29' ... M829HA / M829HRA (29" 15.75KHZ CGA MONITOR) but the question is if the quality of 15k of that monitor is better than the weiya tri-sync. ?¿

Autosync yes but don't forget to manually set the impendance!

I think is:
VGA inputs (15Khz-31Khz) -> 75 Ohm (1V input signal) example: PC signal or Naomi games 31k
6 Pin input (15Khz-24Khz) -> 1K Ohm (3V input signal) example: standard game PCB

Hello also looking at this monitor I want to use it for Mame 100% of the time thinking about getting 2 one for vertical and one for horizontal games. I would prefer 25", if I made a case and covered some of the screen to about 21" would that work or would the picture look weird using the monitors height and width adjustments.

kernow your pictures are gone it would be a great help to see them if you still have them available.

Also as this thread is a bit old are there any updates or advice one can give.

Thanks :)
