I am finally getting away from sharing a 50" TV with my sons PS4 and setting up a stand alone cockpit (existing Rseat RS1 for now). I have ordered a monitor stand and now need to fill it! I don't have room for a triple set up and have been looking at various monitors, and am tempted by the Samsung 49" SUW. The cost is a bit prohibitive, but if it performs as I hope then i am happy to spend. Can anybody share any experience with this monitor for racing or are there better options available? I am running a 1080ti for info. I expect most monitors will be an upgrade over a 60hz 4k TV, however my concern is that I am so used to the BIG screen, smaller monitors may ruin the immersion.
Get a big monitor then you wont notice, Nvidia have just licensed a 65", 120Hz beauty, should be making it to the market by the end of the year, looking at the specs, well worth adding to your shortlist.
Go for the Lc49hg90 Samsung After my 4k philips monitor... this is the way. Good fps Good graphics https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/review-samsung-49-super-ultrawide-monitor-c49hg90.158596/
Thanks guys - the review is really useful. With regard to VR, I have used a Vive but get too hot and uncomfortable during longer races - and some motion sickness! I agree, when the resolution increases it will be a more attractive alternative (if i can stop feeling sick)
I have a AOC CQ32G1 2560x1440 1ms 144hz that I use for sim racing. I also have a LG 34GL750 2560x1080 144hz, but I never liked it very much for sim racing its plenty wide ( but not wide enough to see the mirrors ) and its not very high vertically. Kind of like using an extra wide 24 inch monitor. Anyway that's my two cents for what its worth. As a side note, if I ever went to triple screens three 32 inch 2560x1440 1ms 144hz monitors would be my choice. 4k would be nice but not realistic, when it comes to games like acc that suck the life right out of most graphic cards never mind adding 4k to the mix.
