[QUOTE="pureinstinct93, post: 227569, member: 5837"] Hello, New forum member here. I am not looking to build a cabinet, though I would love to own a Virtuapin ultra widebody. I am just looking to put together a dedicated pinball PC. I have a good idea on what CPU and video card specs I need, but I don't have much understanding about the optimal monitor resolution. I am looking at getting a 27" Dell monitor, but I have 3 resolutions options to choose from: 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160 (4K). I plan to only use a single monitor to run TPA. When I looked at [url]www.pinballarcade.com[/url], I did not see any clear mention of the max resolution that the PC version of Pinball Arcade supports. I am leaning towards the 27", 3840x2160 monitor so that I can also use it to watch 4K movies, but I am willing to reconsider, if the pinball experience will be poor on it. Does Visual Pinball support 4K resolution at this time? Also, I am looking at purchasing the Nanotech Pinball Wizard controller: [url]https://www.nanotechent.com/pinball-wizard.php[/url] . I do understand that I will have to use a utility to map the buttons to work with TPA, but do I need to do the same for this to work with Visual Pinball? Will the nudge functionality work with either Visual Pinball or TPA? Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Damon [/QUOTE]
