This happened between Dialed In and Pirates. The monitors went to a lesser quality. I was told Pirates CE's were better, but I can't verify that.

I have spoken with a well known employee at JJP and this (monitor differences) was confirmed.

Settings will help. But, will never get these new monitors even close to the sharpness or black level Dialed In and prior screens had.

I have the JJPs all in a row at home. And the difference is night and day.

I could look at the models between POTC and Dialed In tonight when I get home.. if nobody today does..

I wouldn't be terribly excited about it... But, I would pay a small upgrade fee to get the better monitor in my GNR LE (when it is eventually made). As crazy as that sounds for a $9.5k game...

I don't know if its all of the Dialed In's. But my DI and POTC are next to each other in the line up and the difference is night and day. Even on the start up screens. Dialed In's screen is rich in color. and especially noticable in the attract screen. Pirates is washed out even after I applied the settings recommended to me by the very well known Jersey Jack employee.

I think you have something else going on there with your Hobbit. None of the "lesser" screens looked green. They had a gray boot sceen. Or washed out look once the game booted. Colors weren't sharp. They look like you have the brightness turned up way too much and the contrast down. But, there are absolutely no settings you can adjust for better quality. I've adjusted the recommended JJP settings and tried way more than that. My Pirates is "acceptable" now. But certainly not as good as my DI, Hobbit, or WoZ. And, I am not just comparing this with the games in my collection. There are a ton of JJPs here both on location and in collections. This monitor trait between games is 100% across every game I've seen.

Maybe LTG could shed some light on this? As he has all the games side by side (I believe).

Night and day difference. My WoZ looks as good as my Dialed In. My Hobbit looked equally good. All the Wonka's and GNR's I've seen look just like my Pirates.

The pictures make it look it look slightly more extreme than it is. Especially if you are just playing Pirates with nothing to compare it to side by side. But, there is definitely a big difference.

I adjusted my Pirates from factory.... It was for sure a huge difference.. but, no where near my DI or WoZ. Not even close...

I'd also be in.

Depending on price.... For a Pirates and GNR.

Yeah. Have tried that. Also, went through the different "modes".

Again, my Pirates is acceptable. But, just not even close to having the "pop" that my WoZ, Hobbit, and Dialed In have. Not even close.
