My favorite Osaka based store was selling a boxed one for 40,000yen.  Didn't have the money at the time, and
it was gone when I went back a week later.   #-o

I've seen these on the net before but never in person; I'm betting that the screen quality is about as good as a TurboExpress (i.e. good for the time, but not so good compared to modern panels).  If I remember correctly, D-Lite has (or at least had) one of these monitors, so maybe he'll pop in and shed a little first hand light on this rare beast.

I'm beginning to think D-Lite was iced by his Japanese contact for not paying up on that last shipment of 852,398 games.

I have seen pics of these over the years however I have never seen one in person, great little add-on.

Does anyone have any pics of the connections/psu etc?

Here is a good youtube video of the monitor. He starts talking about monitor at 2:33 and than shows the monitor features at about 3:20.  He has a lot of great PCE and NEC hardware vids.

His last line was "it's just fuc***g amazing, thats why I had to pick it up".  8) :D :lol:

I think it came new with at least two cables. One of them (the one in the video) plugs into a stand alone pc-engine/coreGrafx and the second one has the yellow/white/red AV plug so you could plug that into a briefcase/vcr/consoles from other companies.

Im not sure the specs on the power supply. I doubt it is visible in that video though Im sure you could PM him.

It's great. A little bit better than the LT's screen.
