September 12, 201411 yr Hello to everyone, I use 3 monitors monitors "samsung SyncMaster 214T 21" " with the VGA AMD RADEON 7970 and resolution 4800x1200 while the GPU is a Intel i5 3570K OC at 4,20Ghz.. I get fsx a bit slow on certain scenaries and flying situations but effort it.. At a certain point I got one monitor that does not stay "Lit"...so now it gives me a "black" screen.....I gues the internal video card or similar has broken... The point is....should I buy a used same monitor (altough these are "old" monitors) or change all 3 with new ones??? If I change all 3 with new monitors, will I have emprovement on frame rates in FSX?? If I choose to change the 3 monitors....wich model can u suggest me? Thanx
September 17, 201411 yr I have 3 monitors, but tired of the flat 1080 look. Go for a wide 4K monitor and use the other monitors for panels etc.
September 17, 201411 yr I would switch the positions and cables of two of your monitors first to make sure the black screen problem is your monitor and not a port on your video card. I am assuming that you have three 1600 x 1200 non widescreen monitors. I have one of these and tried to find two more. They are hard to find and expensive now relative to the new widescreen ones. I use this monitor in my office as I like the older and taller format for reading documents. The screen started going black on mine and I got it repaired for $100. It was a transformer inside I believe. I run three 1280 x 1024 monitors on my flight sim connected as one wide view of 4040 x 1024. I like the wide view this provides. Wish I had your three 1600 x 1200s. The performance you get from a new single monitor will depend on the resolution of the monitor. If it is more than your current 4800 x 1200 you will have less FPS. The advantage of going to a new single monitor is you do not have the bezels dividing your views. I am thinking about switching for this reason although one with a high resolution is also expensive. I will let someone else who has one make a recommendation.

If you can find an old one I would buy it. gb. YSSY.
