shane2801 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hi guys At present I have a Benq 2400hd 24 inch monitor but am looking to upgrade. I am looking at the AOC 2963PM 29 inch ultra wide monitor aspect ration 21:9. How do you think this will look with FSX? Any advice would be much appreciated as I am not a real tech head. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Shane, it has a high resolution so should be fine. I started with one Dell 27" HD Resolution 2,560 x 1,440 which was outstanding. As you can se from my signature I now have three. Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudel.dietrich Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have a very old but still capable 30" Dell LCD monitor from many years ago. It is still providing good service but it does lack some modern features. I recently got a 24" Viewsonic OLED monitor for my gaming laptop and I have been very impressed so far with it's 120 HZ refresh rate and 1920x1200 rez It is also impossibly thin and is made of good looking aluminum, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently use a great Dell 30 inch like Rudel but have been thinking for a while now of doing the same thing you've done with the 27 inch models. However, I've noticed there's two or three models on the market right now with that resolution and was wondering, if you're impressed with the way you've gone, which models you went for? Kind regards , Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Don't get a new monitor yet -have a look at this 1st . I tried to paste the link here but it wont grab it . Go to G-Force and Technology in Hardware you'll see they are coming out with a monitor with G-SYNC in it and will stop issues like tearing which I have and cant get rid of it no how..In fact you can buy it now .

Roger Dodger Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I recently purchased the Asus VG248QE which I am more than happy with. 144 Hz at 1920x1080 with 1ms response time. The advantage of this monitor is the upgrade capability for G-Sync with a kit that can be purchased at a later date and self installed. Best monitor I have ever had.

WR269 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Keep an eye for the QNIX 27in monitor . They are samsung panels with a no frills bezel. Full 2560x1440 and up to 120hz. You get them on ebay and they are delivered to your door via DHL courier within 4 days. Sent from my Mobile thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Sid I bought the Dell U2711 monitor http://www.dell.com/al/business/p/dell-u2711/pd However they may be now replaced by a newer version. Here is a view from my seat. and a view at the back of the monitors Let me know what you finally do. HNY Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Dodger Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yes Ken. Extract from the Geforce.com site How To Upgrade To G-SYNC If you’re as excited by NVIDIA G-SYNC as we are and want to get your own G-SYNC monitor, here’s how. Early next year, G-SYNC monitors from ASUS, BenQ, Phillips and ViewSonic will be available direct from the shelves of retailers and e-tailers. If you can't wait, G-SYNC modules will be winging their way to professional modders who will install them into ASUS VG248QE monitors, rated by press and gamers as one of the best gaming panels available. Alternatively, if you’re a dab hand with a Philips screwdriver, you can purchase the kit itself and mod an ASUS VG248QE monitor at home. A complete installation instruction manual will be available to view online when the module becomes available, giving you a good idea of the skill level required for the DIY solution; assuming proficiency with modding, our technical gurus believe installation should take approximately 30 minutes. (Update December 20, 2013: We are excited to confirm that the NVIDIA G-SYNC Do-It-Yourself Kits will be available for purchase in early January. Further details will be announced shortly.)

dominique Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Not convinced that the vertically narrow 21x9 is well suited for a sim. I recently went to a Dell 2713hm (16x9) that I put at work this week. I am very satisfied in an early appraisal. I run it at 2560x1440 and have a very sharp cockpit in the DCS A10 (still have to install fsx in my new rig). The 2713hm is in promotion btw.
