Slammin Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 I bought my 8kx a little over a year ago and although I love it, I must say that I am very impressed with the HP. I've only had the HP for a few days but from my testing so far, I think I will use it exclusively for my sim driving. The picture is so clear and the distance viewing is quite a bit better than the 8kx. I've read so many complaints regarding the sweet spot of the G2 but I am not seeing any issue there, but I'm certain it is because I can crank the SS as high as I want for all of my driving sims at max quality, yet maintain a solid 90FPS with zero drops. The 8kx is still my go-to for flight sims right now, but the HP does almost make me want to say "FOV who?".....

dburne Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 I have always been more about quality of picture versus FOV. Nice choice with the Reverb G2! Definitely have a go with it in your flight sims as well. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|
Slammin Posted December 12, 2022 Author Posted December 12, 2022 Yes, I have tried it with DCS, FS2020, IL-2 BoS, and was especially pleased with the HP with Star Wars Squadrons! So it will likely be a multi-role HMD for me, but for driving, it's the Reverb all the way! Solid 90FPS at Ultra settings with max+ resolution is just a great experience! 1 Abit IN9 32x MAX- Kentsfield QX6700 @3520 1.5 vcore watercooled D-Tek Fuzion/PA-160/MCR120/2x MCP655 2x2GB G-Skill 1066 5-5-5-15 2T@1.9vdimm 2x EVGA 580GTX 1.5GB SLI 2x 74GB Sata Raptor Raid0 2x 320GB Hitachi Sata II X-FI Elite Pro Dell U3011 Lian Li V2100B Corsair HX1000

MADLOU1 Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 I want that nice curved monitor! What brand is it?
Slammin Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. It's a great gaming and productivity monitor. I bought it mostly for work because the multi-monitor setup just wasn't that ergonomic for me after several years of chair spinning and neck twisting.
