Large Screen TV

[weeb]

I've been following the monitors v ( HD 3d televisions as monitors ) and decided to bite the brass. I can incorporate it with the pit design which will leave me 5 mini display ports to serve other mini-monitors. I hope I haven't made the wrong decision, only time will tell however.

I saw this one on John Lewis £100 off so got it for £899 which I think is a good buy. If it doesn't suit the sim, it will be a good telly in my livingroom, however it may be wider than the window :helpsmilie:

 

Here is the one I have bought, give me any feedback pros or cons, I can take it.

I think you will love the look of the sim on that set.

 

Some of the folks have gone to the 4K sets but I've got a 47" LG wide screen running HD and the sim looks great IMO.

 

Once you go big you never go back.

Cheers m8 appreciate the feedback. it will be 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 metres away once I have the front cockpit so I was hoping. Right bottom line, I have 3 ips monitors, 27 and 24 atm on my home system, cost me like 700 uk pounds when I bought them. my idea is I use the curved screen for total display, saves me buying another 5 monitors, only another 3, = 24 portrait, 27 landscape and 24 portrait. Means I keep my 3 screen for home use and add a 27 and 2 x2 4 in portrait to cover full display ports. both side consoles are covered with realtime switches etc. Does that make sense Sabre?

Your graphics card only supports HDMI 1.4,

this should be ok for the 1080p UE55H6800.

 

For 4K UE55HU8580 you need a graphics card that supports HDMI 2.0 like the GTX 970/980

because this one only has HDMI's. On HDMI you need 2.0 speed for UHD data transfer.

 

Or a TV with DP1.2.

Cheers Hans. Think I will be fine, just nervous spent a lot of money on a telly. I am getting the wood cut as we speak, need to sort out the laser issue. The laser is simple, it works on x,y,z, but I am shit with 3d stuff, i'm going to learn as I develop., are you well?

I also use an LDC TV, but a pretty old model. It suffers from burn in, I expect the newer models don't have that problem ?

I am building a dedicated flight sim rig to power the cockpit. It will probably have 2X 980's sli'd

but i am not purchasing parts and building it until I see what DCS2 and edge bring.

I have no idea what that model is like but from the pics it looks like you will have a great time with it!
