    All i know is that all the top 50 players use kontrol freak and a monitor and every single player so far has said they have improved using a monitor. Sad to say but for people like me who will never invest in buying one just for the show it gives me more of a reason to be like a modern day baseball fan, caring less and less about the show as the years go by up until the point i just dont return.

    They do all use a monitor, but they certainly don't all use kontrol freeks. Some do, yes. But definitely not all.

    Well either way the majority use both and every single one uses a monitor. Thats fine i mean get it if you want it because you will get better no question. Up until the point where idk 5 years from now everyone has the same concept of playing this game and then the next wave hits where its well you need this up to date 2025 5k UHD Delux no lag monitor to compete. Idk i miss the days of mlb 2015 where everyone used a tv and u didnt need a monitor or at least it wasnt discovered yet to be on a balanced level field for every single player.

    I hear you, but it's not just a trend for MLB The Show. Every FPS console player is using a monitor nowadays as well, because it simply gives you an edge. Better hardware will put you ahead of the competition (or evens the field) and that won't ever change.

    I was using the same old projector for 13 years and it prolly had around a 30 ms lag input. I was still able to make World Series but not with ease. It finally broke down and I got a new 2020 version with a 10ms input lag. OMG my game is 10x better now. I made it to World Series easily. The input lag really is key and getting a monitor is the best of the best

    I bought a 27' MSI monitor a few weeks ago. The biggest difference I've seen so far is the ability to recognize pitches better. I have a 1MS response time, and my refresh rate is 165. I don't have the lag that I had on my TV. (at least not as often) I still suck, but that's because I suck playing H2H, but I've noticed I've been playing better since I got the monitor.

    165hz is irrelevant when you play on console though because it's locked at 60hz.

    I use to play in a 55 inch tv , it was a problem for me because the light would hurt my eyes and I couldn’t focus much, once I switched to my PC monitor I’ve consider my self Sammy Sosa cause I been hitting bombs lately, it definitely helped me out.

    I was being sarcastic, but that's good to know. I hope it helps as I'm way behind on affinity.

    Are there any changes to settings I need to make out of the box? What changes will I notice? Will I be way early on everything? How long does it take to adjust?

    Believe it or not ive had a hard time adjusting to a monitor, pitches come in so slowly sometimes i end up early as hell or memorized thinking i have more time than i do and end up late cuz im not actually used to seeing the ball so clearly lol.
