October 24, 20178 yr I am looking at 34 inch ultrawide monitor.Probably a silly question but It looks wide but not high.Does it distort cockpit etc?Thanks,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
October 24, 20178 yr Commercial Member Yes sir, but at only 34 inches I wouldn't think it would be that bad. I went with a 55 inch 4K TV when I changed from using 3, 23 inch monitors, and it amazing.

October 24, 20178 yr I have 3 32" Samsung curved monitors set up and it is somewhat distorted on the edges but would definitely go this route again if I had to. Your concentration is in the center and you really don't notice it. LouP
October 24, 20178 yr Author Are you saying you would go with 1 34 ,ultrawide instead of the 3 u are using?I just hooked up an older 32" Visio hdtv I have and it looks ok.Replaced Acer 28" monitor to try and not bad.Would ultrawide give me a big improvement?Thanks,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.

With 4K TVs though, quality makes the difference. The only ones I would use are newer models of Samsung or LG. Best wishes.

October 25, 20178 yr Author So you are saying I would be ok with high quality 4k tv instead of just a hd ultrawide monitor?Basically same price but I then have tv too.Thanks for info,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
October 25, 20178 yr Commercial Member That's exactly what I did. I would only use a newer Samsung or LG as some 4Ks aren't really good for computers/gaming. Specs should tell you thought.

Hi Dave, Dang dude - but how you going to fit all THAT into your rack pan ??? Although you'd be surprised at the space you can find - used to travel with a full set of SCUBA sans the actual tank - in a seabag stashed in the overhead above the control room - never an issue if you really look... Seriously though - nice setup - I like what I see and not just the hardware... Regards, Scott

For the same physical width and the same sized image you will see the same distortion, since the distortion is not a function of the monitor. But a 4K has a better aspect ratio, so that's what I'd go for if I was sure I had a PC that could drive it.

Specs should tell you thought. Screen shot below. What does the menus look like on your 55" 4K TV? Are they super small and hard to read? Do you need to run your GTX 1070 in the DRS mode in order to get a 4K output or will it detect your 55" TV without that? Terry
October 26, 20178 yr Commercial Member I ad surgery yesterday and typing its very easy. So I'm going to ask a friemd, someone who knows this even better than I do, to swing by and give you the info you'll need and straighten out a little incorrect info in this thread.
