doebro2010 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I would like to buy 2 monitors 27 inch and my question is does someone has a picture of one cockpit devided over 2 screens so I can see how it will look like. I will take small bezel so the stripe in the middle will not all that bad. thanks in advanced Doeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I don't have the type of photo you requested, but I would recommend a 34" ultrawide over 2x 27" displays personally! 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideslip Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) I have a 34" ultrawide on an arm to be able to pull it to an appropriate distance when using my HOTAS. I would guess it fills around 70 degrees of my FOV (about the bridge of my nose without turning my head). Not what I would ultimately want (think 5 1080p projectors in portrait orientation on a curved screen) but does the job nicely without taking up excessive space or budget. I know you really would like a picture, but likely the reason you haven't found any (you did google right?) is because it's terrible. What is usually at the center of your screen? What you are shooting at and where you are shooting. Now stick a big black bar in front of whatever you are shooting. Monitor manufacturers are absolutely terrible about calling a monitor "frame-less" or "border-less" when in fact it is far from it. My monitor is advertised (and shown with a picture) as having the image stretch to about 2mm of the sides of the screen... turn it on and there is actually 13mm of black on the sides. You can absolutely use two "screens" if they are actually projectors and then can be made seamless. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11653/dells-ultrasharp-u3818dw-available-curved-3840x1600 This is probably the biggest and best ultrawide at the moment. Not as big as two 27" monitors I think, but a quick measurement tells me it is about 35" wide. I think two 27s would be around 46" wide. But you don't have a fugly 2cm+ wide line in your face.

hansangb Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I too would recommend one 34" over multiple monitors. Here's a 3 monitor setup that I used to run (not anymore because of VR). So you can see how the bezel comes into play. For me, it wasn't that big of a deal. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideslip Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Was just looking at something completely different and came across this random (photoshoped of course) marketing image. Judge for yourself: VS VS ridiculous 32:9 (exactly 2 16:9 glued together, personally too wide for me) System specs: i7 3820 @4.75Ghz, Asus P9X79LE, EVGA GTX1080SC @2100mhz, 16GB Gskil DDR3 @ 2000mhz, 512GB 960EVO m.2, 2 X 512GB 860EVO SATA3 in RAID0, EVGA Supernova 850W G2, Phantek Entho Luxe White.

Buckeye Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Much preferred my 34" ultra wide monitor to dual monitor setups, now much prefer my VR HMD to my 34" ultra wide. Case in point: I think multi monitor setups are a thing of the past, much better solutions available nowadays. They were cool/best available 5 years ago, not so much now.
