Ultra VP 8.0 Virtual Pinball Machine Model Comparison

[@RIckBrown-l9o]

Looks great. Looking forward to the 3.0 Software update. Nice work.

[@BobBacheler]

Seeing the tables side by side really shows the beauty of OLED. Worth the wait!

[@miken3170]

The OLED edition looks fantastic! Appreciate the updated information on the status of the new table hardware/software upgrades. 😃

[@unclemonster_cap]

So hyped! I can't wait to come pick mine up! It looks amazing!

[@Eternyl_bliss-nj9se]

I was thinking - OLED probably won't make that much of a difference.... I was certainly wrong there. Gives me a panic attack dropping the cash on one though but I really want to play the old school machines (pre solid state) from my childhood again.

[@Because_Reasons]

Looks incredible!

[@johndoe-yw7eb]

I'm sure this has been asked, but I haven't seen it addressed in these previews. Wouldn't OLED burn-in be a concern? Much of a playfield is static images.

[@RecRoomWorld]

We recommend exiting a table after you are done playing it to allow the Pinup Popper attract screen saver mode to kick in. Also, this is a 4th gen OLED panel with built-in anti-burn in technology. See www.lg.com/us/experience-tvs/oled-tv/reliability

[@klixtrio7760]

+1 I would also like this to be answered

[@RecRoomWorld]

The C4 panel used in our Ultra VP 8.0 OLED Edition Model is a 4th generation LG OLED panel with includes built-in burn-in safeguards. We recommend exiting the pinball table after your are done playing it to allows Pinup Popper Screen Saver Attract Mode to kick in, which prevents burn-in issues. We also suggest you shut-down the unit when not in use. Here is a link that will give you detailed information about burn-in concerns straight from LG: www.lg.com/us/experience-tvs/oled-tv/reliability

[@darinswift490]

Yes I want one Roland. You didn’t mention the cabinet size difference. I still need the audio activated light installation video… hope you are loving your new Godzilla premium. Thanks again bud

[@RecRoomWorld]

The cabinet size is basically the same. The OLED Edition is a half an inch less wide. And yes we will be making a video soon about how to install those RGB LED bars, I assume that's what you were referring to?

[@combochuck]

These look great! Do these builds run Pinball FX games in 4k 120hz without issue? VPins that I've seen (from other manufactures) seem to have screen tear inconsistent stuttering with Pinball FX tables.

[@RecRoomWorld]

@@combochuck Competitive virtual pinball machines are notorious for having underpowered PCs. Our Ultra VP comes with a high-end gaming PC that features an RTX 4070, 12GB. We have not seen any degradation on Zen Studios tables running at 4K 120hz.

[@Hecksii]

Hey there Roland, i was wondering if you guys are making any progress with the new pinball FX being in the new update? I have it set up pretty good on mine since theyve made it so you can own each table individually, but im not the best with integrating it seemlessly into popper so i was wondering if the spftware guys you use were working on it. Love the new 8.0 model man you guys are doing great with these machines!

[@RecRoomWorld]

We have to be careful with the new Zen Studios software licensing. The new Zen Studios Pinball FX and M tables can only be played if you run it off of your own Steam account straight from Windows desktop, outside of Pinup Popper. We will make a video to help everybody understand how to properly install it when the new software is released. We will make an official announcement about the state of affairs with that new software by the end of the year as promised, so stay tuned. Merry Christmas!

[@Hecksii]

@RecRoomWorld Awesome thanks for the update and Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@aPache43211]

Thanks for the comparison! Do you have a roadmap on what improvements to expect next?

[@RecRoomWorld]

Nothing major will change after the 8.0 OLED model other than software upgrades and regular PC and monitor progressions (as they become available).

[@kai-waehner]

Does the OLED version have any drawbacks compared to the standard one?

[@RecRoomWorld]

The only drawback is inherent to OLED panels being more susceptible to burn-in. But that is not an issue if you remember to exit out of a table back into the selection menu which has a screensaver when you are done playing. Leaving the monitor on the same table for hours or days at a time can cause burn-in issues on the screen. This is also an issue on regular LED panels but not to the same extent.

[@FraktalPriest]

Are payent plans available? I don't have that much liquid cash but would of course simply love to ge the best available machine 😋

[@RecRoomWorld]

We accept layaway,, meaning that you can make payments as you can afford. As such of course your machine will ship once it's paid for. Are you not offer financing, we recommend checking with your bank for that type of an arrangement

[@FraktalPriest]

@@RecRoomWorld Ok, thanks 😋

[@Str8Spaded]

Any oled cabs available for purchase?

[@RecRoomWorld]

@@Str8Spaded Yes, they are in stock now. You can call Tony at 614 208-7780 to order one

[@cajuncrypto9182]

Invisaglass upgrade?

[@RecRoomWorld]

You can certainly get some Invisaglass custom made for it; we do not sell it

[@ginochenard2662]

RecRoomWorld / VPcabs are you going to make a video on Vertigo NXT in a few days

[@RecRoomWorld]

It will probably be either towards the end of December or early January. We're focusing on getting Christmas deliveries out the door

[@greghornbacher8079]

Is 8.0 your newest Model? DE Guns N Roses is my Favorite Table. do you have any videos with that table running? Thanks Roland for your video. i gave up on virtual about 5 years ago. was tired of all the updates to tables. was waiting till Vp became more advanced. Now iam slowly getting more interested in VP how its gotten better. theres so many competitors out there building nice machines. yours looks to be on the top

[@RecRoomWorld]

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, the 8.0 model is our newest model. Tony (Sales) can remote video demo your favorite Guns N Roses table uf you give him a call at 614-208-7780.

[@RecRoomWorld]

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it is our latest model (just released). If you want a Guns N Roses gameplay demo you can call [phone] (Sales - Tony) and ask for a remote video demo to be scheduled.

[@greghornbacher8079]

@RecRoomWorld Thanks Roland appreciate that.. can't wait to see the Guns N Roses table. VPW did a overhaul on it. hope that's the version yiu hwve.. I own the real DE GnR.. iam leaning towards purchasing from. you. USA. don't wanna deal overseas

[@charityauctioneer7763]

What does this cost including shipping on average?

[@RecRoomWorld]

About the same price as a single game mechanical pinball machine. The ULTRA VP Standard Edition sells for $8,695 + $420 shipping to mainland USA locations. The OLED Edition sells for $1,000 more. If you want the topper monitor and beacons add $295. Keep in mind that cheaper virtual pinball machines will not come anywhere close to giving you the same realistic touch and feel experience that rivals mechanical units.

[@Btstaz]

Save $1000 dolars and swap the TV in 2 years for $200 upgrade?

[@Btstaz]

Saying that, looks amazing

[@RecRoomWorld]

OLED TVs will not drop down to $200 in the next 2 years, especially if you want the latest and brightest models. Upgrading the Ultra VP with the OLED panel required extensive TV mount engineering, which was not trivial since we wanted to be able to lift it up for easy access to the inside of your unit. I guess you can always wait until something better comes around in terms of technology and miss out on all the FUN in the meantime... we recommend taking the plunge, the 8.0 OLED model is awesome 😉

[@ryrysonic9]

Virtual pins are strange tbh! Idk if I'd ever get one! I have 4 real pinball machines already so idk! I'll probably wait for evil dead by spooky or something!

[@RecRoomWorld]

We understand... that is what many hardcore pinheads have been saying for years, but those who take the time to play the Ultra VP (not just any VPin) have all changed their minds and understand the immense value of being able to play the complete history of pinball machines on a single VPin that feels as realistic as the Ultra VP. For example, we have had orders from competitive pinball players who are now using the Ultra to learn table rules prior to tournaments on tables they do not own.

[@ryrysonic9]

@@RecRoomWorld could I play pinball games like circus Voltaire & bad cats on this one?

[@clayhodges7173]

@@ryrysonic9 Yes on both of those and both are created by the VPW team which make really realistic tables. Search for each with VPX in the title and you can see how they play.

[@RecRoomWorld]

Yes... and they even utilize the original firmware from the mechanical units so it plays exactly the same
