aleader Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07Q1FHT87/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2J9H5JP3ISEDW&psc=1 I'm thinking of getting the above screen for my MFD's for F18/A10C/Harrier. Hard to know if it's any good from the reviews, but I guess I can return it if it isn't. I already have them mounted on an old, heavy 22" 1680x1050 LCD monitor...too heavy and hard to manage on an arm though. I've read that the 11.6" screen fits well for 2 of them. Does anyone use one? Better still, has anyone tried this brand? I have a GTX 950 sitting around that I could throw in my PC along with my 1070. I will be getting a new vid card this fall however (RTX 3070 or whatever it's called or similar). I have a 32" 1440p/75Hz monitor. How would this work? Just plop the 950 in and hook it to the 11.6" and DCS will pick it up as though it's simply acting as a power supply for it? I assume you don't have to run these in SLI for it to work? Any help appreciated before I buy this thing. Edited May 28, 2020 by aleader "I mean, I guess it would just be a guy who you know, grabs bananas and runs. Or, um, a banana that grabs things.

SVgamer72 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 I used an Eyoyo 11.6 from Amazon for years with no issues with 2 MFDs Velcro'd to the bezel. I now use 2x8 Eyoyo. I only used this brand due to it being the cheapest option with an HDMI port at the time I purchased them. I am sure the monitor you picked out will be fine. If you ever plan to use a 3rd MFD for the Hornet, 11.6 it won't be big enough. You will need either a larger montior that can work with 3, or a 3rd monitor for the 3rd MFD. DCS uses the combined desktop resolution with multiple monitors/viewports. I do not think it will work with multiple video cards, but I have never tried it. Maybe someone else will chime in with experience using 2 video cards.
aleader Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks for the reply. Why did you switch from the 11.6"? Just so all 3 matched? No plans to have the 3rd MFD unless I could somehow find a very cheap NEW single MFD (unlikely). I read in a thread that someone was using a 2nd vid card to run the MFD's, which I also thought was impossible. "I mean, I guess it would just be a guy who you know, grabs bananas and runs.
