Yea my Astros came with a optical. The sound of the game is amazing with Dolby and my Astros but there is a headphones input and a few others for sound on monitor

Couldn't agree more. Was gifted a 40" LED for Christmas and it didn't work out of the box. Returned it the next morning for a slightly more expensive LED from a more reputable manufacturer.

Unfortunately, after two or three weeks the television started showing really bad signs of "dirty screen effect" (it's real, Google it). Thankfully, this was grounds for return from the store and they allowed me to exchange it.

This time I selected a 51" 1080p Samsung Plasma and it eats up any LED I've ever used in terms of screen uniformity and input responsiveness. Also, the colors are every bit as punchy as an LED and it runs at nearly 700mhz screen refresh, compared to 240 emulated at best from LEDs.

I just don't see a single reason to choose LED over plasma, and especially where gaming is concerned. I also don't understand rushing plasmas to obsolescence when LEDs are in no single way obviously superior to plasmas.

Just upgraded my Hdtv after having a sony 46 inch Z series for 6 yrs. DId lot of research, bought a new Sony Hdtv, W950B 55 inch. Input lag is excellent in 17ms n i thought the Show looked and played well before... Colors n depth are amazing n the controls are so much more responsive on my new Sony! I am noticing a lot more of my hits are pulled compared to I use to get bunch of opposite field hits. Loving the Show even more now!!

I'm trying out the BenQ. It has some presets for RTS games which make the black colors in MLB the Show look pretty bad in a faded black sort of way. The Standard and Economy presets look better but I'm not sure if these would degrade the performance or not.

EDIT: Things are looking better after enabling RGB Full Range on the PS4.

I went from a sony w900a tv and sony 1030 receiver where I tore the cover off the ball.

The last month I've had a new setup in the living room. A sony xbr850b and sony 1050 receiver and now I can no longer hit. Drives me nuts. My "old" tv had a 23ms lag...the best info I can find on this one is that it has a 40 ms lag. I'm also wondering if the receiver is throwing a little lag in there.

Everything on game mode. Any suggestions to start raking again and hitting the fastball?
