So I want a bigger monitor for the game. Was thinking going a dual monitor setup with the one I have and this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 56762&SID= Adjustable height shouldn't be an issue for me and neither should the display port weak connection. Anyone have any larger size monitors out there that they would suggest looking at? |

I've never been unhappy with a Dell IPS monitor. I'm on my third in ten years, and my second is still going strong on my other PC. And, wow. 24" @ 4k for $1100? Damn, when did that happen? |

You don't want a 21:9 monitor, Elmo. |

21:9 monitors are an abomination. I get the desire for peripheral vision, but by the time you stretch your FOV to accommodate it, everything gets warped and really unattractive to look at. It's the reason I quickly abandoned the 3x1 landscape Surround setup in favor of 3x1 portrait, before getting sick of the bezels in anything not a game. However, peripheral vision in a flight sim, particularly in a space sim, has always seemed like a trap; azimuth is just as important, if not more so, in such environments, so sacrificing pixels in the vertical for peripheral has always seemed like a bad notion to me for simmers. Of course, the ultra-wide ratios might be amusing in a 1x2 or 2x3 stack, lol. Or, they would if you were talking really large diagonals on those gimmicky new curved panels, which they aren't, yet. The nail in the coffin for ultra wide is they're utterly terrible for anything resembling web browsing or productivity applications. Way too much lateral space to use anything fullscreen. Go big with a 16:9 or 16:10 with a resolution as high as you can push, graphically. Or plan on a VR headset. |
