Capt Pugwash Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Now my system is running Orbx sceneries in P3DV4 in amazing detail / performance on my LG34" Curved monitor...I started to want even more of that world in front of me and also my cockpit instruments larger rather than zooming in and out constantly. So I tried a 4k 40" tv screen and although it had a slow responce time and obviously not as good as a high end monitor, it did make my flights through my Orbx sceneries far more incredible with so much more scenery showing and obviously autogen into the distance with v4 looking awesome..I did return to my LG 34" though due to the 4k tv not being as quick & picture quality still sub par to my ips monitor. So moving on...my research has led me to this beast! the new Samsung qled curved 49" gaming monitor...this could well be what I go for next! any thoughts guys? http://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49--chg90-qled-gaming-monitor-lc49hg90dmnxza/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Take a serious look at VR. I have a 32" 4k monitor and for normal computer use it is fantastic A friend of mine has a bigger one and for normal use you will find yourself wanting to move back from it or your head will be doing a lot of moving while using it because just trying to move your eyes is hard for both eyes to focus on something so far to the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't think this makes any sense for a flight sim next to a big 4K monitor. It's a nice width but the vertical resolution and physical height are no better than a regular (say 24") desktop monitor. You might get better performance as the pixel count is lower than 4K but otherwise I can't see the advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree...the height looks an issue, the 4k tv gave the imersion factor in cockpit view and more visual vista of the Orbx landscape...may be the Phillips 43" is the answer for height vs width rather than 'a stretched out 49" oled letter box view' John Dow really looks to be very close to the mark with his Phillips 40" monitor as well. This 43" ips monitor appears to have the right screen real estate...but does it have the right specs... http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/philips-ultraclear-4k-43-inch-display,news-52906.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepstar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi 3 x Samsung qled curved 49" gaming monitor in a TH2GO setup or Nvidia Surround setup is nice. Never going to a single monitor setup on my sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Pugwash Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 This new LG 43" ips monitor is now looking best suited to my needs, its aspect ratio of 16:9 and resolution of 3840x2160 gives me the screen real estate of a 4k tv without the 'letter box' wide screen feel that I have on my LG34' Curve and would also have on the Samsung 49" qled. I really like the larger screen width & height to see more of my Orbx scenery in 4k detail, but for me I still want it to be a PC ips monitor... as a 43" 4K TV just quite can't match a 43" 4k PC Monitor on specs and performance. http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-43UD79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJohnJohn Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I agree on the VR. Oculus Rift is incredible, and I will never go back to a flat screen monitor ever again with my FS and ORBX. Truly like real life flying with the combination of the two. Love every minute of it in the simulator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Pilot Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 My 21:9 Ultra Wide monitor is sitting in the hall. I replaced it with a 32" 16:9 I loved the width but I could never get used to the lack of verticle picture. It made me feel like I was viewing the world through a slot. Some years ago I had a triple 16:9 21" monitor setup with the monitors in portrait mode. It gave me a 27:16 picture. It was great, I could see scenery above and below me without having to resort to the top-hat switch to pan. I found it to feel more realistic than flying in landscape mode.

adaniel Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have now had my 49" Samsung curved 4K tv as monitor for a year, and I am very satisfied with it and the way you feel you are flying in the landscape. I have 3860x2180 resolution.My former spec was with 3 monitors, and I was concerned when I bought the 4k tv that the refreshrate was to slow for flightsim, but it has not been an issue at all. With P3d v4 things has been even better, with higher framerate, and sharper display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I upgrade my hardware to P3Dv4, I will buy a BIG single UHD TV screen or a BIG single curved monitor. I have now 3 x 27" for FSX. My plan is, if I dont like 1 BIG screen UHD TV for P3Dv4, I will go for 3 x BIG monitors for P3Dv4 with TrackIR5. That BIG screen TV can I have as my TV to watch TV. I buy 3 x BIG monitors, connect it to Nvidia Surround or TH2GO, but I dont think TH2GO will support those BIG monitors, connect my TrackIR5 and away I go in Orbx land. Jo Erlend from Aerosoft updates his Norwegian airports to P3Dv4 and Orbx compatibility, so I am good to go. I like 3 x monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
