since a while there're two of  them for sale in super potato for about 60'000 and 72'000 yen (US$550~700).

the release price was 79800yen (US$750).

thats crazy expensive.~~   any one of us have one ???????? I like its looks just like the Duo haha.`  =D>

yeah..it's a damn darn great pce related collector item. for sure one of the crown jewels. but couldn't afford it yet, due to its high price :(

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.

wow congrats shubibinman! this thing looks so pretty!

nice catch shubi :)

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.

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.

Any comments on image quality?

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

Since few of us have one of those laying around for reference, how does it compare to the GT's screen and modern panels?

:edit:

because I am le dumb.

if it's even better than the LT than it's pretty close to an actual television set then cause I remember reading something about how the GT screen can show only about 60% of what the pce is capable of and the LT screen is at about 90%.

So it's much better than the GT's screen.
"-Oh yeah? How much better?
-A LOT!"

I bet it's 85% better.

thats only is its 100% new 85% of the time
:D

No, it's approximately 33,33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333% better. I can tell you.

I want one  =P~

i want one of these in the box so badly...
