Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Thinking about this, it would seem an incredibly fast refresh rate would be more important than a high resolution. I wonder if anyone HAS built a vp cab with a 240Hz display?

Quoted from Bublehead:

VP has it's place in a Pinball collectors collection (space savings being the number 1 attraction) and NO, it does not replace real pinball, but damn if it does'nt "Supplement" it like a mofo.
I'll give you a little late night scenario- Your playing your nice restored Black Knight 2000 with some friends when one says "I heard there was an older machine that this is based on? And you say, yes, the OG BK, want to try that one? You walk over to your VP cabinet scroll through all your tables, punch up OG BK and take a spin on this table... What your friends will get is, wow, I see the similarity, and the progression from this machine to BK2K, what a great shooter, no wonder it was popular back in 1980.
Now was it 100% like playing an OG '80 BK? no, but it is definitely "close enough" these days to let you get your nostalgia on, have some fun, and share all the experiences of the old stuff, some of which you may never actually see in the wild, and I think it really adds to the pin playing experience. Is it like the real machine?, NO, but it is close enough now to make you feel good ruling the universe, because one thing every pin head loves is having an awesome game where you walk away, adrenaline pumping, rapid breathing, and a true sense of accomplishment. VP can give you that feeling now and it feels pretty damn good.

Quoted from Palmer:

Nope. Physics are not even close even with VPX. Sorry but they are not. The POV is fixed which looks cool when you are shooting it on a camera in a fixed position. The illusion breaks when you start moving your head. Every game I have seen is waaaaay too bright like it is surrounded by pinstadiums. It doesn't help that a screen only emits lights while playfield can emit AND reflect light. Simulated lighting like flashers is decent but does not compare to light coming from the actual point on the playfield as opposed to the perimeter. Ball looks weird at times like it is too large. The width to length ratio of pinball playfields vary but universally are longer compared to 16:9 playfield. The POV is used to compensate for this but the screen is still shorter so it breaks the illusion.
Those are just the ones off the top of my head. Virtual pinball is great. I was part of a small group that pushed towards actual vpin cabinets and helped with the development of the original hyperpin front end. I would still like one in my house one day but I have a hard time choosing one over a real game. Will probably pick up an Arcade1up AFM and put it in a place where a normal pin cannot fit in my game room.

Quoted from pinlink:

You're just gonna get a bunch of haters who have never played anything closer to the level of build you have claiming that they've tried VP and "it sucks!"
What you've built looks truly amazing and I'd love to try it out sometime with an open mind.

More of a fyi.
