January 12, 20197 yr Hi, I would appreciate some advice on which way I should go TV or Ultra wide monitor. I will be getting a Jetline systems with i9-9900K o/c to 5GHZ, 2080ti, and moving over to P3D v4. I am leaning towards the samsung 43" UHD 4K NU7100 tv(can't go bigger because of space) mostly because of the extra height so I can get a bigger view of the cockpit. But the 34" ultra wide monitor look pretty nice too with G-sync, although about twice the cost. Anyways appreciate your experience you have either way, Thanks Perry.
January 12, 20197 yr The NU7100 at 43" is likely to be an IPS panel, the 50" is a guaranteed VA (I have an NU7400) Edited January 12, 20197 yr by ckyliu ckyliu, proud supporter of ViaIntercity.com. i5 12400F, 32GB, RTX4070, more in "About me" on my profile.
January 12, 20197 yr TV all the way. That ultrawide is actually narrower than the TV and will look tiny! MarkH https://www.youtube.com/@AlmostAviation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / 64Gb DDR5 / Zotac RTX 5070 Ti / 2560 x 1440 display

January 12, 20197 yr I would look for a display with a wide color gamut - 95%+ DCI P3 support. It's going to probably triple the price though 😞 You are not going to find a quality display in the size range or price. But ignorance is bliss I suppose. Stay away from VA panels!

January 12, 20197 yr It's a mixture, the first generation were VA and rest were IPS at that size, at least in Europe. This is a common trait to all of Samsung's cheaper models, it's pot luck if you get VA or IPS (except at 50", all 50" has to be VA). The NU7400 has WCG support but will obviously only display a subset of that as it's an 8+2 bit panel iirc. The HDR is rubbish, no such thing as budget HDR sadly.

Go for the 43 inch TV for sure if your looking for a better cockpit view. I went from a 38 inch ultra wide to a 43 inch TV and it was well worth it. The NU7100 makes an excellent PC monitor. Just be aware TV's in that price range don't have the brightest screens. Something to be aware of if using in a bright lit room. Matt Wilson

Much better blacks in a dark room. Each to there own it is all a trade off. I haven't noticed any washed out colors on any of my VA panels though. Matt Wilson

I haven't noticed any washed out colors on any of my VA panels though. Yes they do have better contrast ratios but whats the point if the color is awful? You are just used to it and you have nothing to compare it too. I bought this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1430352-REG/philips_436m6vbpab_43_mva_panel_4k.html and I returned a few days later after comparing it to my cheap IPS panel. I am into photography so color accuracy is very important! We spend thousands of dollars on our PCs but skimp on the cheapest monitors!

January 12, 20197 yr Basically if you are doing night flying in dark room you will want VA because of increased contrast and better black level. VA also works better for fast gaming because it responds quicker than IPS, although VA can ghost and blur. IPS has better colours but suffers from IPS glow. viewing angle is better but that's not really a consideration on monitors. And a good VA will do reasonable colours anyway, providing you're not doing professional graphics editing; my AOC Q2778VQE (TN panel) was tested as covering 98.9% of sRGB.

January 12, 20197 yr Author hey guys thanks for the input, I think I will go for the 43" nu7100 just because of the price as I'm already spending a bit on new computer and upgrading other things to P3D. Maybe down the road I can look at newer versions of Samsung tv when prices come down again. Thanks again
