[QUOTE="MonkeyGrass, post: 103562, member: 3108"] Done all that. Probably haven't mentioned the fact that I do a lot of high end home theater installs and know my way around an hdtv and receiver rig :cool: I get paid to install, calibrate and tune HDTV's and home theater rigs. I know whats up. I'm already plugged into my non-processed pc/monitor input. No dynamic contrast, artifact smoothing or any other processing is going on. The problem is not my rig. The problem is the way they process the lighting on the table. Another example is my friends setup, where he's plugged into a commercial 50" planar computer monitor that doesn't even have a tuner or any processing or adjustments on it whatsoever. Guess what. Lag. It is not monitor settings or processing. I know better, at least on my setups. I can't speak for anyone else's rig. PHOF - on the exact same setup, no lag. FS has acknowledged that there is a problem. The $20,000 question is - will it ever get fixed? At 720, it's mostly playable. Even many tables at 1080 are ... ok. However, there are several that are not. Some tables play fine, yet others are ridiculous with the lag. How can that be a monitor issue? I also own a real Williams Sys11 table. Police Force, if anyone cares... (hence, my avatar) :) I know quite intimately how these tables play in real life, and how the flippers react. I do all my own maintenance and repairs, so I am most likely, overly sensitive to these types of things. Mind if I ask you a question? Do you own and play WPHOF? I have a theory, the gist being - those who spend significant time on real tables and PHOF are the ones commenting about the lag. If TPA on PS3 is the majority of your pin-time, you adjust instinctively and never notice it, since there is no other reference to base it off off... when i go back and forth, it literally takes me about 20 min to readjust to TPA. Obvious, easy ramp shots that i make in my sleep are off, by a country mile. Its sooooo frustrating. Don't get me wrong, please! I truly enjoy the game, and recommend it to my pinball and gamer friends. 80% of the tables play great. Probably why the ones that don't stand out so much, I guess. [/QUOTE]
