Jamie_G Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 Hi folks! Does anyone have any experience of using this monitor with DCS? I’ve read quite a few posts both positive and negative about using 21:9 ultrawides in DCS and I’m really torn as to whether to go for it. Having measured my current monitor, the Alienware only adds 10cm to each side, which doesn’t sound like a lot (too much) to me. Would I really notice a significant warping etc with it? In an ideal world I would get a 32inch 16:9 OLED, but it seems that such a thing does not exist (not until the Asus comes out next year, but that too rich for my blood!) I want to upgrade size-wise, but not sure a 32inch IPS or VA would really feel like an ‘upgrade’ if you know what I mean? OLED just feels like the way to go. I considered a 42inch LG OLED, but it’ll be too much for the desk space I have / how close I sit. So any thoughts on the Alienware / ultrawides from users, and also any opinions on alternatives would be great.

bigdaddybones30 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 I use the Samsung Odyssey G9 1440p and its awesome. Went from a 32" samsung 1440 and have been very happy. Its not as tall as TVs or 16:9s, but you get use to it. Gives you a good field of view. i too would like the new 54" Oled that out, but im not dropping that kinda cash for awhile. Depending on your rig, if you dont want ultrawide, try VR. I myself would like to give it a go. My rig can run it just not sure with reports of the headaches and sickness. Hope i helped some.

Jamie_G Posted September 28, 2023 Author Posted September 28, 2023 Oooh, that's a nice screen mate! How do you find it in terms of warping towards the edges of the screen? I saw some YouTube footage and when in modern jets it looked completely normal, but then in warbirds it became really fish eyed. I've actually already got a Pico 4, so I'm all set for VR. I'd probably use it more if getting everything to play nicely wasn't such a pita! Haha Appreciate the input mate, legend Jamie Hardware: MSI B550 Tomahawk, Ryzen 5800X3D, 64GB Corsair Vengeance 3600Mhz, Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity, WinWing Orion 2 throttle and base, F16 EX stick, WinWing PTO take off panel, Thrustmaster TPR pedals, Pico 4, TrackIR5 / Delanclip, Tobii Eyetracker 5, Alienware AW3423DWF
bigdaddybones30 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) The edges can do that in some games. Im usually so into what ever im playing that i dont notice it. If i do notice it only takes a few seconds and something else grabs my attention. ha ha ha, squirrel. Later Tater Edited September 28, 2023 by bigdaddybones30
