[QUOTE="ER777, post: 47761, member: 1208"] I actually was able to find an old CRT TV that was at least sort of working (picture pulsates and and it eventually cuts out, been meaning to recycle it for years), but it was good enough to test this for a few minutes at least. As you said, the flipper action is flawless on a CRT, perfectly responsive just it is in PHoF on all my TVs. Of course it didn't look so great in SD. Just to make sure its not the connection, I also used the composite Av cables with the Sony LED/LCD TV and the flipper action was just like it was using HDMI in 720p - decent but not perfect. So the CRT TV was definitely the winner. So let's take stock of this. The game plays flawlessly on a CRT TV but not an LCD TV even using the same cables and display resolution. So clearly the TV plays a role in this (even in game mode with all enhancement features turned off). On the other hand the same TVs can play other pinball games like PHoF perfectly, without adding any extra delay. So clearly the game plays a role in it as well. There must be something in the way that TPA outputs the lighting on the PS3 version that is difficult for an LCD to display, and introduces the lag. So I think its like Superballs said, to make it play flawlessly on LCD TVs Farsight would have to change the way they do the lighting. [/QUOTE]
