Hi, First I'm not an Electrician nor an specilaist in electronics. Secondly, I was refering to the Docum that came with the gun. I did not write "here is my complete/detailed review of the new Act-Labs Light gun". Thirdly, You can set your display in windows XP to 640x480xtrue colors at 75Hz, but when you activate the TV output the signal is readapted to match the NTSC standard so 60hz like you said. (so it's here was was a bit confused). And Then I have found why the gun was pointing a bit off target, I have figured out that my bezel was covering the picture tube of the TV for about 1/4 inch. So the gun was off by 1/2 inch! I had to remove it and retry the alignment of the gun and after the precision of the gun was more the way it should be! I can say that this night my 4 year old son was watching... I was trying to avoid as possible games like aliens or games that involve shooting someone. So I have tried Police trainer kind games. By the way the gun does not work well with Terminator. My Pc is not enouch speedy (800Mhz) enough for Area51 and Maximum force. Be my guest to Write a review when you will have your's!

That isn't going to happen anytime soon on an American TV... So I would like a little clarification about that as well. I want to know how well the gun is actually working. As that guy stated he thought the synch was off. Whatever the hell that means. Thanks... --- End quote --- >:( >:( |

Hello everyone! :D Been a while. Anyway I got my gun in last week and right away found there to be problems with my APEX Flatscreen tv. Well, really only one problem. I can't shoot at the bottom 3 inches of the screen. I calaberated the gun about 20 times and it never worked. Turned out to be sort of a blessing. I ended up using my 32" composit tv in my cab instead and it works like a charm. However I am suffering a bit because no more s-video. :( It really looks good but not as good as it did. I'd say there's about a 15% difference. But I have an extra 13"! :) I tried it with both a Geforce4 ti, and an ATI Radeon 7800. Also it's a bit off when shooting. I'd say anywhere from 8th of an inch to about an inch. Seems to depend on the game. For example Chiller is way off, where as Area 51 is almost perfect. I didnt try changing the color depth, didnt think that would help. ??? Overall it's better then using the trackball, and works quite well depending on the game. |

Then re-calibrate and re-try. I'm not an expert on this but it was just mentioned that having some of the image outside the border (underneath the plastic bezel) throws off the aim. |
