Went 26-2 on a 50 inch TV i got in 2016
That’s really impressive. What kind of tv is it?
Samsung
If it was a Samsung Ks8000 that puts you at about 20ms input lag, which isn’t the best, but isn’t terrible at all. Is that what you currently play on?

Where is a good website to see input lag on your tv model?

Oh. But did you go 26-2 on Mlbts 20 or an earlier iteration? 26-2 is great no matter which version of the show you’re playing, but this year, in particular, has extremely small timing windows. And with the increased pitch speeds, it puts tv users with an input lag of above 20ms or so at an extreme disadvantage.

I’m thinking of a TCL tv which is supposed to have around 14 ms of input lag. I know monitors can get even better, but I’m not sure I’m ready to give up couch gaming...
Thanks for the replies, gents.
I’ve played on a 55 inch TCL for the last 3 years, make World Series regularly. I can vouch for TCL.

As far as a monitor. Go to http://www.rtings.com/ check anything you are interested in here. You won't regret it

Is yours the 4 series, 5, or 6?

I'm not a believer in this monitor vs. TV malarkey. I have a 6 year old 30" TV and beat a WS player last night. I'm mostly an offline Franchise player, and my RS rating is like 460. After playing 20 online games or so, I believe outcomes are random or driven by luck. And there really isn't much of a skill gap. I prefer offline vs. CPU mostly because the game feels more authentic.

I have a Samsung KS8000, but been playing on a monitor since somewhere around the end of MLBTS17. I always made WS on the KS8000 as well, but there is a noticable difference with playing on a monitor imo even on game mode. It does look a million times better on the Samsung though.

Well. I salute you.
That said, I know that I can turn on a fastball up and in on HOF at my girlfriend’s house. At my place, depending on the pitcher, it is hit or miss.
I’m somewhere in PR in ranked, but I want to be able to get around on a fastball when I’m looking for it.

I personally wouldn't buy a new monitor at this moment with the PS5 around the corner. Or, if you really don't wanna wait, spend some extra money and get a higher end model that will be of use for the PS5 as well. I'm playing on a BENQ RL2755 and I've grown tired of it, been wanting to replace it for a while. But I'm gonna upgrade once the PS5 drops and ride it out with this until then.

Watch this video:
https://youtu.be/RENLMum5wz4The tv vs monitor thing comes down to how long you have to achieve your desired input. Imagine if the baseball coming toward the batter was in a 3d grid. Now if you have a tv with a 40ms input lag, how much earlier in the ball’s approach to the plate do you have to press the button versus someone on a monitor with a 10ms Input lag? How far has that ball travelled in 30ms? Could it be the difference between a homerun and a pop up? Probably. It’s still possible to achieve desired outcomes, in theory, but you have to push the button very early.

Finally upgraded from an 8 year old 24 inch tv a couple weeks into the game. Got me a BenQ EL2870U 28 inch HDR 4K Gaming Monitor. The difference, especially online, has been amazing.

TCL tvs are great for gaming and inexpensive if you prefer tv over monitor.

Yes this! I just got the 4 series 50 inch for like $240 at walmart. Was turning on fastballs like it was nothing on HOF. 12 ms input lag. I have been playing on TCL since '17 and always make WS

I've played on game mode the past couple years on a much older Samsung. I did the thing where you name the HDMI output to PC. Not sure if I see a difference. What should I be seeing?

How would you say the following is?
80% Response Time - 7.5 ms
100% Response Time - 19.1 msThat’s what appears on Rtings for my Samsung 65MU7500. Despite playing on the PC setting and using game mode, I couldn’t make it out of the low 800s. I then dusted off my BenQ this morning and went undefeated on my way to the WS.
