Interesting, I was wondering what kind of inputs were on there. Sounds like they're legit but are only made for certain stuff (like TypeX1) with possible upgrades for everything else (to "Vewlix F"?), wonder if the stock Vewlix L is supposed to come with that other stuff you got.
Yeah, it has a DVI and HDMI. Surprisingly, I just plug in a PS3 and it works perfectly fine...I was rocking 16:9 Under Defeat PS3 on one cab and the vertical via J-360 on the other earlier...just cause I could for shits and giggles. I paid about $550 to get both two cabs all wired with four PS360s, and extra audio amp with dial, and a led for the light movestrip. Neo Legend did an amazing job on that.
I don't think the japanese F and L (or AMI version L) have all the extra stuff. That seem totally added for a market that might want this cab as useful as possible. No way I'm gonna run low res in this thing as the CGA to VGA scaler likely is not up to snuff (and I've got other candies for that stuff). I've plugged 360 at 720 via VGA and it looks fantastic but DC at 480 is somewhat mediocre...even throwing it through and SLG (but I did not tweak the image on it yet). I would like to get Gunlord and things like Border Down looking good on it, even window-boxed. Still, it has a full jamma and jvs interface and tons of other wiring I'm not too familiar with.
Earlier models of this only went up to 720p. I've tried both resolutions, 720 and 1080, so I'm just running at 720 since most games on 360 only use that. Really no difference at 1080, though...no lag. Monitors really have no lag that I can feel. Kinda makes sense since these are monitors made for dedicated playback and likely have no extra commercial stuff in them. I used to use high-end Marshall monitors in production and it kinda feels like that.
Initially I was gonna go for a single F but those are very hard to find now and even the famed Sanwa monitor is getting old. And they are about 5K, anyways. My two came out to about 3.5K each with all the mods and shipping and customs.
I almost got a few Lindberghs, but no rotation so I kinda got soured. I really wanted one for verts and one for horizontals. The Lindberghs were insane condition for $1500 (then another grand for delivery). See the pic below that River Service sent me...gorgeous condition and 1-player CPs. They were trying to unload 15 of them at even a bigger discount, lol.
DIA are available (and seem to have replaced the F) but are still a bit expensive so I'm waiting two year to grab one of those. They seem to have the cheaper build and a Sharp monitor or similar.
I really want one more HD cab, from japan. Gonna get one more in 2015.
Speakers are great. There are four of them. It must be said that changing this thing to vertical is literally taking the entire top part in pieces. Completely apart. About a two-hour process. Very complex. I was drunk when I did it and ended up with about six extra screws.
And they do indeed "fold up," but that is taking off four lug nuts and adding the shipping steel brackets...not so much a mechanism but more taking it apart and rebuilding it with the CP up. They weigh about 275lbs and the CP itself is about 70 lbs.
Good cabs and I'm loving them. I've not even begun to tweak the image yet...they are insane out-of-the-box.
