3x 1080P Monitors, 2k or 4k?

Hi All,

I've been flying with 3x 1080P monitors for the longest time now, but recently have been researching other monitor/resolution types. That stretchy/fish-eye view on the side monitors is really annoying. With bezel correction, I currently run 6040x1080 resolution, and besides all the crashing and stuttering NTTR is providing me right now, the frames are pretty good. As you can see the pixels aren't high as 4k.

6040x1080 = 6,523,200 pixels.

2k: 2560x1440 = 3,686,400 pixels.

4k: 3840x2160 = 8,294,400 pixels.

Right now, I can see I would miss the FOV 3 monitors provide. Has anyone went from 3x 1080P monitors to a 2k or 4k? Would anyone recommend doing this? I still would want a wide angled monitor, maybe a 27 inch and up.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I just love having a life-sized setup to match the simpit. Even going to a single one of my 32" HDTV's is unflyable (IMHO). I think the only thing close is the 49" monitor that was posted about not long ago in the PC section. It would be nice to have a better refresh rate than my setup.

I don't use the wide angle and have a PLP monitor setup (portrait, landscape, portrait). My pit sits in the dead spot below the center landscape monitor. I keep DCS on these three monitors only as I no longer export any viewports to my pit. There is no distortion from stretching and it runs very well, performance-wise. Probably not for everyone, though.

I note someone posted to XX about a beautiful setup that runs with projectors. It had 1,240.00 US as price. I thought "XXXX yeah!" Then I noticed that someone said it was actually 1,240,000.00.

I'll keep my setup until we figure out something better... best of luck to you.

Would anyone recommend doing this? I still would want a wide angled monitor, maybe a 27 inch and up.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

You mean like 21:9 and 30-34"?

I would go to single a 55-65" 4K HDR TV with its 16:9 panel and just get custom mount to get it nicely top of the HOTAS etc so legs goes just under it well. Even better if having it curved.

Whoa Fri! I was looking in the $300-400 price range. :) ATM, I'm looking at 32" 2k monitors, but IDK. The FOV just wont be the same.:(

A 150€ more and HDR comes as bonus, big thing.

65" UHD HDR but no Bluetooth and price 999€

Even a 21:9 display cost easily more by inch.

You can always force a cropped narrow resolution on 55" to get something like 21:9 or so, with black bars top and below.

Having curved adds 300-400€ so suddenly 55" UHD HDR Curved is 1300-1400€ so it is already expensive.

But with custom resolution (special drivers or software to add it etc) you can get ultra wide FOV without bad stretching (still required really).

Good points on the prices. Well, what about G-Sync? Does DCS benefit from this performance-wise?

Gsync is not about performance but about smooth gameplay without stutter and jitter :thumbup:

Though I am not sure if Gsync works with 3 monitors, better check that before you buy.

I'm looking at this one. It doesn't seem to have G-Sync or anything like that but its a 32" 2k monitor.
