Quoted from Drenden:

Because you aren’t going to get 4K resolution or graphics out of the onboard video on the motherboard and they aren’t going to put a $600 gpu in each game which are now impossible to get. 4K gaming is still very expensive in the pc world and you’re not going to see the difference on the types of animations on pinball machines anyway.
Also the smallest digital signage platform in 4K is 40” because of pixel density.

I didn't understand the comment this was replying to. Is there an expectation that pinball displays should be 4k? This makes no sense due to the size of the display, and how far away you are, and the fact that nobody spends much time looking at it.

Now the P3 games - I do think they would benefit from the playfield display being 4K. I'd definitely upgrade if they provided one. Even better, an OLED display! (even at 1080p that would be incredible) For 4k even that display is quite small

Quoted from bobukcat:

On P3 I would care a lot more about the latency and viewing angle of the display than I would the resolution. This is a big issue with TVs / monitors for gaming even with PS4/5, XBOX, etc.

That’s much more of an issue with virtual pins - since P3s have a real ball and the display is used as the (mostly static) Playfield there’s almost nothing moving quickly enough to cause a latency issue

Just checked, and my POTC has the older, better display. So that’s a relief!

Quoted from gstellenberg:

I read this a bunch of times and couldn't tell if you were talking about the P3 displays or not. Just to avoid any confusion, every production P3 has shipped with very high quality playfield displays, with nearly 180-degree viewing angles. Our backbox displays look even better (because they're not under a thick protective sheet of polycarbonate)... super vibrant and wide viewing angles. I think we use the same size (27") as the ones being questioned in this thread. If true, feel free to message me about sourcing replacements.
See pics of the early production machine at my house. Ignore the whitewood / prototype Heist playfield.

I can certainly confirm the backbox displays on the P3 are INCREDIBLE looking. super vibrant! The playfield itself is a little more.. I don't know.. dim? I guess? Because it is under the polycarbonate Gerry mentioned. There is no issue whatsoever with the viewing angle on either.

Quoted from Betelgeuse:

What model LCD panel do you have and what inputs does it have? You're the 3rd person to chime in saying that they have 'the good one' with no specifics. I'm curious what other panel was used for POTC.

I'll take a look when I can get over to the machine
