Holy cow... this monitor has it ALL

[Sr.]

I would damn near trade my VR rig for this :notworthy:

I reckon you would come to resent the lack of vertical throw in it myself. I'd still love one...

[javelina1]

Maybe cool for ARMA, but for DCS, I'll stick with VR. :-)

The best and cheapest upgrade to my monitor was to put it closer to my face.

I need a monitor with large vertical not wider horizontal. As I toggle back and forth between Rift S and a 49 inch 4K Tv, it is the lack of vertical field of view that really kills me. Whereas my horizontal field of view is almost the same. I also count on stereo 3d images to allow me to see around canopy frames. Aircraft with large frames or frames down the center of the canopy (Fw190 and MiG-15) are horrible on a 2d monitor with TrackIR. In VR, I can see right through them because normally only one eye is blocked by the frame while I am visually tracking a contact in an aggressive rolling dogfight (which also needs that vertical field of view so I don't have to look up as high and still see the control panel/gunsight or canopy frame references to maintain awareness of where my airplane is pointing/going versus where I am looking).

 

My ideal monitor would be a 4K monitor so large that the vertical field of view would match my Rift S, which is probably around 100 inches.

Formation flying without ever having to move your eyeline? Oh heck yes!

This is why the Index is the best on the market and will be better than the new Reverb, it has the bigger vertical FOV.

Interesting read on VR FOV

Your sig reminds me of an old unit patch when I was in the 7th ID (Light):beer:

I got the impression that OLED technology has even better response times, along with it's genuine capability to display "black". Their latest models also support Gsync and Freesync and without checking, probably aren't that far off the price of the Samsung.

Better than the new Reverb when it comes to the vertical FOV. It's no contest when it comes to IQ in favor of the Reverb and that even applies to the G1. It depends on what is most important to people.

I dont care how many features a 2d monitor has. ITS 2D.... It cant ever be 3d. Humans live in a 3d World. I had a quad monitor setup (3 in this game sadly) with trackIR and it doesnt come close to the worst VR experience.

 

All you do is give bad developers a good excuse to ignore the only real future for simulations. VR.

 

 

Unfortunately VR is not for everyone. I have a Valve Index but I barely ever use it because I get motion sick. The immersion of being in the cockpit is second to none, but I can't stand it longer than a few minutes :(

 

 

But that 49" monitor looks very tempting. Combined with the upcoming RTX 30xx video cards this could be a thing for me.

Tried a dose of non drowsiness Dramamine before hand?

I've got the older (and less curved) Samsung CRG90 and I gotta say that the ultrawide experience is great. VR aside, I think it's the best flying experience you can get on a screen.

 

The only downside I have is that adjusting it to a proper FOV (usually around 115-125 degrees for me) has the negative effect of causing units and effects to not load in until they are closer than they would be on a narrower FOV. Not sure if there is a fix for this or not but it's really annoying to have a wingman right next to you call out contrails that you can't see until you zoom in. It definitely hurts the immersion a little to see stuff like that pop in and out.

I've got some Dimenhydrinat here, but it made me feel tired. And I don't want to swallow a pill everytime I'm going to use the headset :)
