Hi All,

I'm getting prepare to build a simulator and I'm gathering a max of info before anything.

So, does anyone has any experience with a curve monitor/tv setup for scenery instead of a multiple projector display.

Thanks for your feedback.

Phil

Hi Phil.

I would also like to see any info regarding P3d on a curved display.

I'm currently 80cm (32") away from my Dell 3011 (Dell 3011 & GTX970), and I'm trying to find any info
from P3d users using these displays. There isn't much.

I am annoyed regarding much of the hype from sellers/manufacturers where there is absolutely
no data regarding the vertical size (in height of the display - not resolution), all they appear to quote is the diagonal screen dimensions. I'd like to keep my current vertical size - many of those curved monitors I have seen appear to be much smaller vertically than my Dell.

I'm looking at three models with a vertical resolution of 1600:

Acer XR382CQKbmijqphuzx 37.5 Inch WQHD Curved 2300R Gaming Monitor 3840 x 1600.
Dell U3818DW 37.5" Curved IPS 21:9 3840 x 1600.
LG 38WK95C-W Curved 3840 x 1600 display
 
I suppose I must accept that a wide view monitor (e.g 21:9 aspect ratio) at my current vertical resolution
of 1600 would be much more expensive than those others that have less vertical resolution.

I use this PC for other tasks - video editing, films, music etc. However P3d is my main interest.

I am rather annoyed at monitor adverts - not one I've seen has the vertical screen measurement included in the spec. Is this because the widescreen (I'm thinking of 21:9 aspect ratio) verticals are much 'smaller' than the 16:10 spec ?

Many also omit any mention of a standard wall mount fixture. Most annoying.

...and of course - I'd like to know whether P3d can use that native resolution, or has to 'drop down'.

I intend to upgrade to a 9900K and 2080 TI in the near future.

Regards

Bill

To be fair, it's usually there if you click the 'full specifications' link. Regardless, you can calculate the vertical and horizontal dimensions if need be but for simplicity, this is a resource I always fall back on! This will give you everything you need to know :)

Brilliant !

Thanks MarkH

Yes, I usually check those 'full specs', but sadly many do not include that measurement. I have a shelf above my monitor, hence the requirement for vertical dimensions.
