    Hitting Correlated with TV Type/Size

    OK, so can someone explain this too me? I recently purchased a new TV and my hitting has gone to complete #$@^%. I've played an entire RTTS season on a 37 inch Panasonic Plasma TV and my hitting was ~.300 with only 58 strikeouts in ~300 AB. I recently purchased a new 55 inch Samsung TV and all of a sudden my timing is late. I'm only hitting .160 and am average a strikeout every 2 AB.

    I mean really? Does a switch in TV really change the degree of timing that much? Can someone explain the science behind why a larger TV changes the pitch speed/difficulty? Has anyone else noticed a change from one TV to another?

    Does your new tv have a game mode option? You should have that on.

    Also, here is a thread that may pertain to your situation:

        Is your new Samsung an LED by chance?

        It's not the size difference, it's the display. Plasma TV's have zero input/response lag unlike LCD & LED TV's that are plagued with it and the main reason I'm selling my old 46 inch Samsung LCD for a 51 inch Samsung plasma

        And yes I have game mode on already

          Yea it's LED. Game mode seems to help, but I couldn't believe the timing difference between the ol' plasma and LED. I was early if anything on plasma and late on everything on LED.

            Upgraded from a Panasonic 32" LED to 42" LG and it has game mode, hitting dramatically increased..power now off the charts.

              Sadly, still no word of them implementing lag calibration either.

                It really needs to happen, because my buddies big 42" Samsung DOES NOT have a Game mode, so he can no longer even play The Show, and will likely not buy any future editions until his TV breaks.

                  Yep even with game mode on for me I'm still late and find myself check swinging at an alarming rate because of the lag on LCD

                    Nope they have stated that it's not a big enough of an issue being that it's caused by the TV and not the game

                      I have the same issue, I don't necessarily have the extra money to purchase a new TV solely for the use of a video game.

                        That is not correct. Plasma tv's have input lag just not as sever as Samsung LED,LCD

                        Turn game mode on even if it degrades the picture quality. What game mode does is turn off all the processing that the tv does to make the picture look that nice which causes the lag.

                        Unless your tv is from the stone age it should have a game mode or hyper drive mode

                        If its a samsung then connect to HDMI 1 and rename it PC which should enable entertainment mode which is game mode

                          I picked up a 47" Vizio 60hz from Wally a couple of years ago. No game mode on this TV but I am not really seeing a problem with lag and the tech on this TV is probably at least 4 years old.

                            I'm assuming playing video games on plasma TVs isn't as harmful as it used to be?

                            I have my PS3 hooked up to an LED TV and I use my plasma strictly for TV and movie watching.

                              Not like it used to be, I game on a Panasonic Plasma and have zero issues with burn in.
