It feels different playing on different TV's

[justcallmedaddy]

Whenever I play in my room and I'm relaxing in my bed, the game plays great on my tv in there.

Well I bought the 80" Sharp Aquos for my living room, and I thought I'd play some MLB on it and see how it looked.

When I started a White Sox vs Tigers game, the first thing I noticed was whenever I was batting I was swinging too slow, usually my problem was swinging too early even on fastballs unless it was 95 mph or higher. And I was facing Doug Fister and his 88 mph fastballs so I don't think I was just swinging late.

The 2nd thing I noticed, was whenever I threw the ball after a hit I could see 3 baseballs, 1 bright one in the middle, and 2 shadowed on the outside of it. I never saw this before on the TV in my room so I figured it was not normal.

The 3rd thing I noticed was I was seeing way more pitchers pausing before releasing the ball than when I saw it in my room. And that was very annoying.

I was able to pitch fine, but the whole game just felt different on the TV in the living room.

Any suggestions?

does it have a "game mode" on it? if so set it to that.

Put it in Game Mode, if it has it...otherwise you're out of luck. Some TV's don't handle fast movements well and have lag.

Wow, I just changed it to Game Mode and it worked like a charm. I didn't know it would have a serious effect like that. I didn't want to play on game mode because it looked so dark but it definitely changes the gameplay. Guess I'll have to deal with it being dark but having a game that actually works

You may be able to adjust the settings on Game Mode (brightness, contrast, tint, etc).

Game mode just adjusts how quickly the images are relayed from the system to the screen, I believe.

What's hitting like on that 80" TV? Easier to see the ball? I have a 55", but I'd love to see The Show on a huge TV.
