LCD Topgun distance requirements kind of crazy...
<< < (2/5) > >>

According to Silver's TopGun Site and other a bunch of other stuff I have read the minimum effective distance you have to stand back is 2 times the width of the stands. So, on a 27" monitor with the stands mounted horizontally (about 17" apart) you can get away with being slightly less than 3 feet back. Not to bad.

I really need to hook mine up and test for myself.  :banghead:

I appreciate the input, but fact of the matter is I'm well beyond 2 X the distance and thats the only place it works.

I'll try the horizontal approach however, thanks!

If it doesnt work, I guees I'll just rename "Point Blank" to "Pin-Point Blank" or just consider every game a "Silent Scope" game.

Hello, postalp123 !

Is your TV placed on a desk / table ? If so, try moving the front of the TV to the edge of the desk so there is free air below it...

My wild guess is that maybe the leds reflect in a "shiny" desk. This will force you to go further away and also loose accuracy !?

Any luck  ???

Mine work at 5 feet away on a 21" Monitor...... 10 Feet does seem to be extreme.

That said,  I'm now developing a wide angle lens system to fit on the front of the gun which should cut the distance to 2 Feet by making the gun think it's further away than it is.

I had the same issue, my monitor is 21in and I had to recalibrate several times, light and IR lights can cause interference, I am now about 5 feet away
