I moved from 3 x 22" (DELL UltraSharp) monitors using TH2GO to a brand new LG 42" HD TV running 1920x1080. I was not satisfied with the resolution (for example, gauges were not sharp enough for my liking). I purchased an ASUS 27" monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. I'm very satisfied with the resulting quality of the image.

I fly at 3150 x 1680  under Eyefinity uisng 3 DELL 1920x1200 all in portrait mode

 

Native res is 3600x1920 but that is a frame rate killer, So the only other res I can get bezel correction done is 3150x1680, which is more than enouogh

 

In XPX I only use a 2x AA which is passable . Frame rates are high.

 

In FSX with FTGX I have 4xAA, 16XAN but I guess FSX takes ovet he AA/AN anyway you play it.

 

Fps is fine at medium custom airports like CYYJ and KSFF, meaning 14 on approach

 

I get user-constant 22 fps elsewhere

At KLGA or KBOS I suffer and have to reduce settings, otherwise only AG is down one notch.

 

 

LOVE IT cant fly the F1 B200 without it, get to see the whole cockpit in HD, its a beauty

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE the camera CANON res is LESS than the res on the screens so it looks blurred but it aint

 

 

Note, I removed the plastic cassings of all three DELL leaving them bare naked, and this reduced my bezels widths by about half. Much improved !! Do so at your own risk, pivoting stand each have to have 4 holes drilled to match backplate for stable support with case absent. Google it 

 

I also put black electrical tape over the thinner bezels which are silver naturally

Just switched from 3x 26" to 3x 32" and wow what a view !

 

WOW!

 

I have 3 X 24" Dell which I love!  

Also, as far as triple portrait mode goes, the fisheye at the corners is far less pronounced as the overall aspect ratio is much closer to a standard single widescreen.

Build a cockpit for your panels and then use 3 monitors for your views.

 

 

 

or

 

 

What I think would be awesome is three 4K monitors that are each 60" in size

 

 

All right...... I got carried away .

nahhhh

 

 

if you like to have a frame per second, ok

 

Then if someone asks how the fps is you can say a solid one it is

But where is the panel? under the monitors?

 

Thats why I prefer portrait to that

Another option is to have a large screen and the smaller screen below as a 1x2 eyefinity configuration (or whatever the similar option is in nvidia)   with the big screen on top and computer monitor below.

 

 

     here is a vid I did on mine when I had 3 x 42" screens set up as portrait-landscape-portrait with the touchscreen below center.

 

would give me a headache

I usually use surround in landscape mode but recently tried portrait.

Must say I was really impressed.

The loss of horizontal peripheral vision was more than made up for by the increased vertical space.

 

Also, as said above, there is much less edge distortion.

 

Only complaint is there is more of the "looking through the bars" effect.

The solution might be to get the bars further apart by using say three 42" TVs in portrait mode. Would need a lot more work to set up though.

 

gb.

The bars (bezels)... I got used to them

 

Its like looking out a window, and airplanes have windows anyway....

I see that a lot of people prefer 3 screen configs, which i would too if i could get good fps, which is my main priority.

 

I wouldn't like to have a 3 screen config with only 10fps.

 

there has to be a good fps versus the view and experience you get using 3 screens.

 

What are your average framerates guys with your configs?

In FT Dubai, with PMDG 777 fair weather, I get 30FPS Locked.

 

In UK EGLL or NL EHAM with so many add ons, I get 11FPS

 

In So cal Mega so cal, FSDT LAX, Aerosoft's city, ,I get around 20FPS.

 

For a three monitor setup a good video card certainly helps.. I have seen so many posters come here and proclaim there is not much difference between a $200 card and a $600 card. That may be true in a single monitor set up... But for a thrree monitor set up, you get your money's worth with a good 780 card. I have a 670 FTW.

I am uploading a full unshrunken copy of wht I see with a large 3600x 1920 resolution

 

You will have to slide the pic around to see the whole thing

 

This is at ORBX's freeare KVNY in FTGX

Hey,

 

you will have to reload the image in a smaller size...

That's why i want to avoid.

As i am based in brussels, i like to fly into big european airports such as

Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, Paris, Frankfurt, Roma, ...

 

I need at least 16fps.

 

Yesterday i landed into LGAV Athens at night with PMDG 737 NGX at about 18-20fps which is very good for me.

or try a projector
