July 7, 20178 yr Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying a curved 34" wide monitor, solely for Flight sim in P3D and was wondering if there would be any issues/drawbacks relating to the 21:9 scaling when using PMDG ,A2A aircraft. Basically is there any issues with the clarity of gauges (due to the screen curvature) or any visual impairment in the cockpit. If anyone is already using a curved screen I'd be interested in your thoughts before I commit to buying. Thanks for your input. p.s. I think My specs should be OK running the monitor: W10 64bit, I7-7700K, 36MB titanium ram, Aorus 1080ti card, Maximus Formula IX M/B, Be quiet water cooled, AX1200i P/S, NVme 960pro's.
July 7, 20178 yr Not at all!. You won't notice anything different, except more immersion and quality.

July 7, 20178 yr Second that! If anything itll be sharper, clearer, and more immersive by far! The only distortion you will see is if you fly 2D panels gross lol!

July 7, 20178 yr Third that. I'm using Asus pg348q and it's fantastic. Just need to find zoom, that suits you. Intel Core i9 13900K, NVidia RTX 4090 FE, Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB@6000MHz, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe M2, Asus OLED PG42 UQ
July 7, 20178 yr Fourth that... But as xenonsk said, play about with the zoom for a while to find what works for you. The ultra widescreen doesn't always work very well on older titles but for FS9 (and maybe earlier but I don't have them) and up it'll look great.
July 7, 20178 yr I have an ACER Predator 34" widescreen monitor and it great with FSX especially if you have a Trackir to go with it. Sweet as apple pie.

July 7, 20178 yr What about two curved monitors side be side, anyone lucky enough to have this setup that could offer feedback.

July 8, 20178 yr Yeah..two is no good.. I wish Nvidea driver would support different size monitors for their surround view What I would like is a real wide center monitor and then two not so wide monitors, each to the left and right.. where the horizontal resolution matches on all three monitors Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter

July 8, 20178 yr Two 34" monitors make the setup 65.5" wide, that's a lot of desktop real estate. I'll stick to my one 34" monitor and TIR but each to his own.

July 9, 20178 yr Author A big thanks guys for taking the time to respond. I think I'll go ahead and order the monitor I have in mind (ASUS Curved PG348Q). I was also thinking if Track IR would be effected in anyway, so thanks for clearing that up. regards John
July 9, 20178 yr With my Acer 34" monitor and the Track IR is all really good. But don't forget to assign buttons for Track IR "Hold" and Track IR "Reset". That all makes it a very useful user interface. Good luck.

July 9, 20178 yr I just received my 34" Dell Ultra wide cuved monitor a couple of days ago. Haven't done much flying yet, bt so far I love it. No regrets.
