If you plan to order, I would definitely talk to Paul at VirtuaPin and specify that you want this IPS display even if it costs a little more. I dropped in the BenQ GW2765HT to replace the GL2760H that was in there, and I was golden. As arrived, mine had a TN panel and while it was playable if you stood directly in front of the machine, playfield visibility was pretty dire outside that narrow range. Make absolutely sure you get an IPS panel as your 27″ playfield monitor. That said, I do have some tweaks I recommend:

I can only imagine how heavy the full size version would be! It’s over 100 pounds fully assembled and arrives on a shipping pallet. Paul of Virtuapin said they’re on roughly version four of the machine and it shows. I was truly impressed by the build quality of this machine. It uses real wood (not MDF), tempered glass, and authentic metal pinball parts throughout. It is a thoroughly professional build, as you’d expect from a company that has been building these pinball rigs for the last decade. Powering it up and getting all three screens configured in the pinball sim of your choice results in … magic. The actual power switch is on the bottom front right of the case.

The PC “case” is just a back panel, and the power strip is the Smart Strip kind where it auto-powers everything based on the PC being powered on or off. Notice the large down-firing subwoofer mounted in the middle of the body, as well as the ventilation holes. Then lift it up and out, and you now have complete access to the interior. To remove the playfield, disconnect the power cord and the HDMI connector. The 27″ playfield monitor is mounted using a clever rod assembly to the standard VESA mount on the back, so we can easily rotate it up to work on the inside as needed. On the right front side, the digital plunger and right buttons. On the left front side, the audio amplifier and left buttons. All of which shows up as a standard game controller in Windows. This Digital Plunger Kit connects the 8 buttons (2 on each side, 3 on the front, 1 on the bottom) and includes an analog tilt sensor and analog plunger sensor. The most uniquely pinball item in the case is right at the front. Then remove the metal lockdown bar and slide the tempered glass out. Open the front coin door and detach the two internal nuts for the front bolts, which are finger tight. Most of the magic is in those screens, and whether the pinball sim in question allows you to arrange the three screens in its advanced settings, usually by enabling a “cabinet” mode.

Plus you can emulate every pinball machine, ever! The Virtuapin Mini is a custom $3k build centered around three screens:

The mini is much smaller than a normal pinball machine, so it’s easier to move around, takes up less space, and is less expensive. But in my defense, it is a minor extravagance relative to a real pinball machine.

That recently culminated in me buying a Virtuapin Mini. I’ve had something of an obsession with digital pinball for years now.
