July 22, 200718 yr Hey all,I mentioned on our teamspeak that I was looking at buying a 22" widescreen monitor. I was warned that widescreen creates problems on panels in FS9, such as some buttons/guaes will not function.Is this true. I'd love to upgrade my monitor [email protected]:-hmmm

July 22, 200718 yr Widescreen works just fine, they will not make buttons/gauges stop functioning. The only things one needs to know is that they do display stretched 2D panels in FS9 and eat more GPU power when in the higher resolution ranges. In short, they work just fine, are very nice, but check your GPU/PSU if they are indeed capable of running a wide screen monitor.
July 22, 200718 yr My laptop has a 16:9 widescreen format LCD screen, and it works OK for simming with FS9. I normally run FS9 in windowed mode on the laptop at the normal aspect ratio, and use the extra strip of screen width on the right side to put things like an undocked FMS, autopilot panel, etc.Honestly though, for desktop simming, I still prefer two normal aspect ratio screens in a 2-monitor config to a single widescreen.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
July 22, 200718 yr I have a 22" TFT (Samsung Syncmaster 225BW) that I use with FS9 and I love it! However, panels in 2d view may be a bit funny looking since they are all streched out. For me that is not a problem since I anyway always fly from VC with TrackIR. I also considered a 24" DELL but the price difference is quite big and I find the 22" gives the most bang for the buck.

July 22, 200718 yr Read Davis's specs above he is very happy with his 57" LCD so am I with my 37" Westinghouse and 27" Dell. Large displays are fantastic.Abe
July 22, 200718 yr LOL, 57" monitor.In what resolution are you running that?!? Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
July 23, 200718 yr 1920x1080 that's nice, I thought it would have been like 3000x2000 or something. Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
July 23, 200718 yr I was laughing in the sense of 'wooow'I didn't know there were that big screens available. Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
July 23, 200718 yr I'm using a 23" Apple Cinema. Specs below. Running it at 1920x1200. I just love it.
July 23, 200718 yr Well there are Egbert ;)http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Product...bd-cd9ebf8e0189Works wonders at the resolution its running.
July 23, 200718 yr I was thinking about the DELL 30" which has a max res. of 2600x1600(I think). The price was about $1500. I got the Westinghouse 37" for about half the price....$799, it has all the inputs you need, HDMI, PC, PIP, SVIDEO, DVI, YPbPr, and of course (drums please) F S X.Of course I am gloating!!Abe
