What is the setup you use for digital pinball?

Primary setup: 1 screen, 16" M1 MacBook Pro. 2/3 of the tables I've tried run great, and it's easy to jump over from whatever I'm doing and play a game or two.

 

Secondary setup: 2 screens, 32" 2k vertical playfield (25whatever by 1440), 27" 4k backglass, both only 60hz. The PC has a day job as my Ubuntu server, so it gets used less than the laptop.

I have a 27" playfield (temporarily laid in position) and a 24" (permanently in position) backglass monitor. See attached pics. I have full spec details on my Steam page and their are more set-up pics/gaming pics on my Discord.

Using my ALP with BSA Deluxe Backbox 2.0. The DMD is in between a 4:1 and full size, I suppose. Powered by my Dell G7 GTX1060 Gaming Laptop.

4 screens:  Wide Screen Topper, backglass, FullDMD, and Playfield

I use 2 screen because I'm using a Legends HD over OTG which only has two screens.

3 screen - playfield, backglass and full Dmd. 3/4 size cab!

I'm running a 2-screen Backglass + Playfield with a 3rd screen for Instruction Cards. I think less than 5% of my library has Dot Matrix displays.

 

I highly recommend a dedicated screen for Instruction Cards (or an apron display). Most people I show my cab to don't even know that pinball games have rules, "Oh, I thought I just wanted to keep the ball from draining". Adding the Instruction Card screen was a big "Aha" moment.

 

I just use an old Kindle tablet running SpaceDesk connected via USB.
