Any problems with this mod and version 5.05 patch software? I've heard of video problems with the new patch and wondering if there are any bad effects on this remote screen mod.

Quoted from pezpunk:Not if your screen is the same native resolution as your main monitor. For example, my monitor is 1080p native and so is the screen i tested with, and it worked fine. It seems there are now issues if you get an apron screen that is a different native resolution than your main monitor. Different build dates have different monitors -- you can see what your resolution is at bootup.
On boot up my monitor resolution says 1366x768. I was looking through some of the links of what was purchased, do see that some show 1080p, but not resolutions. If it says it is HD 1080p, will it feasibly work with 1366x768? For example this link that someone else used:
http://www.amazon.com/Resolution-1080P-Desktop-Digital-Display/dp/B00N7BUBHQ
A little more expensive but shows it is 1080p HD.
Looks like it is best for me to wait until I try the version 5.05+ patch with the fixes for the patch to see what the resolution turns out to be. I have not attempted version 5.05 yet ... waiting for the related code fixes coming ... any ... day ... now.

Hey guys ... Keith @ JJP is looking for volunteers on the JJP google groups to "experiment" with a code update that may or may not fix related problems with this mod. He is strongly expressing that it is just an experiment and is looking for feedback. You can maybe email him to get the file for that update also. If it causes issues, you would just re-install version 6.06.
Quoted from PersonX99:How do I email Keith?
I just PM 'd you on your pinside account.
JJP "could" market a bottom apron with this mod built in and ready to go for all their pins (WOZ, Hobbit, future pins) ... if they wanted to make a few extra bucks. I would buy it. How cool would that be? That could be another niche and uniqueness that JJP can corner and cash in on. JMO

Keith (at JJP) tried something with the code after 6.06 for a few to test, but that did not work. He likely had/has higher priorities with Dialed In, the last of TH code changes, and whatever new pin is next in line. If there is enough of a demand, maybe he can give this another look. Guessing it is a OS issue more than a JJP software issue. I'm following and interested if someone comes up with a solution. Maybe Hooked can come up with a way to get the second screen working and modify aprons for it.
With the Dialed In Bluetooth technology, maybe on future pins JJP can have the option for the second screen be right on your phone/ipad that you can set on the bottom of the glass when the other game related modes are not being activated. This obviously doesn't help WOZ or TH second screens, but thinking forward ...
Quoted from paynemic:Do they really not make small 1080p displays? I've never shopped for them, but I find it hard to believe that for the cost of a 720p display plus the cost of a $200 scaler, you couldn't just find a 1080 display and use a generic splitter
Unfortunately for us, some of us with older WOZs have odd pin displays of 1366x768 (so it shows on boot up). Last I heard is that it "self-adjusts" to the lowest resolution that is connected. But I think that changed a bit in version 6.06 from what I read earlier in this thread - not positive on that.
Quoted from Phantom1911:I installed Keith's little patch, it didn't fully restore my mod, but it did fix my work around.
Where did you get that and does it also work with your TH too? Details please ...
Quoted from DeeGor:I'll submit this change to JJP and hopefully they'll be able to use it.
Email the info to Keith and Jack so that it get's direct attention! Good find/fix! I hope we hear back some good news soon.

Quoted from DeeGor:I have given JJP the code. Hopefully it's useful to them.
Keith said that he hopes to look at this soon.
