Unico phoenix monitors - Opinions?

Beware, the scaling for the ULM26 pro sucks and there is 1 extra frame of lag, assuming the monitor will be the same as in the Nova Blast.

I would avoid Unico altogether if possible. They have a history of delivering faulty/damaged products an horrible customer service. There are design faults on the non pro ULM26 that have not been addressed to this day. Incompatibility with interlaced signals took actual months of back and forth communications just to even admit there was a problem.
 
Yeah I've heard about all of the issues and stuff but seems like they at least did make things a little better, although still not great. It sucks there aren't many options for this.
 
Based on my own experience, I am considering getting this screen to replace an old CRT in Outrun 2 SP cabinet (Chihiro).
 
I did purchased 6 of these when they got out. I sold 4 losing $20 on each but kept a couple. They are good for some stuff but I wont be getting more. I did get a VGA to RGB with pots that do help with the color issues and brightness

Thanks. That really sucks. Using a Dreamcast to Jamma adapter and spent hours trying to work out why it won't sync correctly.

Come to think of it, PS1 core on Mister acts strangely too.

Guess all I can do is get a HDMI converter / scaler.
 
I don't hate these monitors coming from an arcade operator, they actually look good through vga. this looks a crap ton better than running widescreen LCD monitors in these Maximum Tune cabinets. All 4 of my Maximum Tune cabinets are running Unico monitors. I cant tell the lag but this is a racing game so idk. very well packed, easy to use out of the box. From a collectors side of view this monitor is not that great, I'd stick with CRT
