They are offering it for free to keep it on life support.

Good to see theyā€™re adding art back to the game. My wife was appalled that they didnā€™t have art like new leaf (she was an art history major)

Hope that sonnabitch doesnā€™t sell me fake shit tho

Finally got my light gun cabinet project wrapped up and could put everything back together again and cleaned up the space.

At least I have a nice man cave to be quarantined in.

Nice. You ever play fighting games on that big display?

Whats the input latency like? Iā€™m curious.

Yeah I played Killer Instinct a shitload on there until Keits ruined it. I also played a shitload of SF4 on there prior to the current gen, and SF5 until I realized they were never going to make online not suck.

Input lag is 34ms on it in game mode. There is a HUGE difference between game mode and other modes, so itā€™s very obvious if I forget to change to game mode and start up a game. But to me, I couldnā€™t tell a difference between that and my Evo monitor. I mean there clearly IS a difference between the two, but just over 2 frames at 34ms was something I couldnā€™t really perceive at all.

When I was projector shopping input lag played a huge role in my decision on which to get. I think at the time, the one I got was one of the lowest ones, and before I purchased it, I found someone like 45 minutes away who had the same projector with a 360 hooked up, and he said I could come over and test it out. After testing it out and not being able to notice any lag, I was sold.

Thatā€™s awesome. Iā€™m usually really sensetive to that stuff but, anything 2 frames or under is often good enough for me. Matters more depending on the game too, I guess. Trying to pull of electrics in Tekken is definitely gonna be an adjustment even with only 2 frames of a difference, but not a huge adjustment.

Was curious since Iā€™m currently in the process of building a PC and Iā€™m trying to consider all my display options. I want to find a compromise between a large scale display but also low latency.

Itā€™s funny before I got into SF4, like really into it, I was playing on a DLP TV with a shitload of lag and I had no clue. Then I went to a session with people and played with way less lag and I was having trouble doing moves because I was used to compensating for the lag. Well I ended up getting an Evo monitor and then from that day on, I was super sensitive to lag and could not play on TVā€™s with lag.

But I think my DLP had like 96ms of lag. It was a huge difference lol.

I donā€™t really play fighting games much anymore, but even in any games I canā€™t deal with input lag anymore.

One thing I never looked into is are monitors that are good for fighting games also good for FPS games, vice versa? Iā€™d imagine for FPS games you also want a lagless monitor right? But they are big on their refresh rates and stuff.

Yeah, the less lag the better. I find monitors that have ghosting issues are also really fucking annoying for FPS games. So the higher the refresh rate, the better.

I found some old videos I took to compare lag between my DLP and Evo mointor
Keep in mind my camera was 30fps at the time.

Hereā€™s DLP

And then here is my Evo monitor

Pretty big difference, especially considering itā€™s 30fps.

This was me to the Nth degree because I played virtua fighter 4 evo and 5 a lot so I always had to figure out the lag from tv/monitor to tv/monitor.

Thankfully VF sets are 3/5 rounds and 2/3 Matches. So I had time to adapt to whatever lag there was. Usually lol.

Itā€™s funny cause VF is essentially FG trigonometry and Iā€˜Ve never learned frame data for any other game but I knew I had to for VF if I wanted to be even competent at it

Yeah donā€™t think my wife really would dig putting it to good use like that.

I just took a video showing the cabinet in action switching between the games. I also finished Carnevil for the first time ever. The final boss being named ā€œToken Takkerā€ was pretty awesome lol.
