3x27" or large monitor?

[nTehgRaTea]

Hi,

 

I have the same, if not very similar question... So that thanks for the input above.

But I am hoping for a little more feedback... for DCS I have TrackIR BUT also wish to play FPS shooter games.

 

The options I have come up with are:

1. 4K Ultra HD LED LCD 3D Capable Smart TV
   
   • 40"
     
     
   • 16:9
     
     
   • AU$758
     
     

[*]FHD UltraWide IPS Monitor

• 29"
  
  
• 21:9
  
  
• AU549
  
  

[*]3x 16:10 monitors w/ pivot

• 3x 24"
  
  
• 16:10 => 48:10 or 30:16
  
  
• AU$897

What cpu and graphics card are you running? Because to be honest if i was to be in the same situation again i would have to go for a 4k TV. Ohhwell you learn by your mistakes. lol

What cpu and graphics card are you running?

 

I have:

• Intel Core-i7 950 @3.07GHz
  
• AMD HD 6950
  

 

Do you play FPS and use peripheral view?

 

 

Also I have a 22" touch screen positioned below where the main monitor will be to show the MFDs:

_____

|____|

x|_|x

 

the x marks the dead zone where the graphics is rendered but there is no display.

 

 

Dose the 4k allow clarity of the HUD if I were to zoom out in the cockpit to give more vertical view?

If you want the ultimate in realism I'd get a new video card and an oculus rift.

everything i hear of the OR dk2 is that the text and instruments are to hard to read with the current resolution of the displays...

Which is correct, and will likely still be correct when the CV1 comes out.

4k 50" looks like 2x2 25" monitors, remember on flight sim we have to look up and down not just left and righ...

i got Seiki 50" for $500

I say: buy a 27" g sync monitor if you have an nvidia card, because you will have smooth gameplay most of the time.

otherwise if there was a 34" 21:9 gsync monitor, I would sell mine immediately ;)

 

So the 34" would be my other primary choice ;)

 

What exactly is a g sync monitor? I am looking at buying a 27" monitor as well, and I am open for suggestions. :)

Edit: This begs another question -- are all current NVIDIA cards equipped with this g sync option?

That monitor only supports 4k@30Hz though, AFAIK.
