I like 4900's
pro's: Reliable and the flybacks really last.
con: Sometimes they need some solder joints touched up
Electrohome G07. Personally, I hate the K7000 monitors. The G07 is much easier to work on. My distaste for the K7000 is primarily due to how many different variations there are, the wide number of different HOT's and voltage regulators. Also, when something in that monitor goes, it tends to take out both the HOT and the VR.
The G07 is much easier to recap, easy to get parts for, and they're all the same, no funny versions. Once rebuilt, they're very stable, and have a very good picture.

Very few of you have had the chance to see what kind of a picture a new GO7 with a perfect tube produces. I have one in my restored Journey machine and i can tell you there is no other monitor out there that can touch it.
I thought the flybacks were no longer available.
Chad @ arcadecup has them available and that's where I got mine. The 4900 in my Q*Bert had a bad flyback and I'm glad to have a brand new one.I'm not sure if they are, however they do not fail very often. If and when one does fail you shouldn't have trouble finding a parts chassis to pull another one from.
you need to clarify your question. If your talking picture quality only, I would say
1:nanao
2:hantrex polo
3:wells k7000 (certain models)
4:wells k4600
5:G07
6:neotech
if your talking repair:
1:G07
2:wells k7000
3:wells k4600
4:nanao
6:neotech
5:hantrex polo
Personally I go with hantrex polo and k7000. As long as chad can fix them, I will use them.. If I could find more nice condition nanaos, I would use more of them..
thanks for the advice .
To clarify my question ,
"if you could choose any monitor you'd put in your favorite game that has a great picture and is reliable , built well , not too much of a pain to fix , which would be the overall best ."
