Hi all,

I am considering getting an LG GX 55 Inch TV for my system, I will mainly be running MSFS. I have a 2080 card on my system and was keen to get a G-Sync compatible display. Has anybody here ran such a setup and is it worth it? I have heard that using any G-Sync compatible display will improve performance on MSFS, is this true? Looking forward to hearing your advice.

Cheers!

Old post but replying anyway. I am running a LG CX 48" on my machine. MSFS looks great at 4K and I'm happy with this setup (GPU is 2080 Super-CPU is 10900K.) G-Sync seems to be working well. In Ultra I'm only able to push mid 20FPS at low altitudes in dense areas and see upper 30FPS in lower density areas and at high altitudes with occasional blips lower and higher. 98% of the time I am GPU limited. 

I don't know if the G-Sync has improved performance. My prior setup was with a non G-Sync monitor 2560x1440 so I can't compare a non G-Sync 4K display with the CX. 

I need (ok want) to acquire a 3080 as the sim clearly needs more GPU. It looks amazing though. If only 30+ FPS could be consistently achieved in 4K and Ultra settings I'd be happy. So be aware that with your 2080 FPS may not be great. The G-Sync helps prevent screen tearing but it will not help FPS.

One other note, this is a lot of screen. I got a 48" instead of the 55" even though the price point was about the same as I was worried about sitting to close. I feel this concern is valid if desk mounting the display. I have it mounted as far back as possible on a large desk and its still a little too close (I use a swing arm fully adjustable mount so the TV can be rotated, moved up or down, and extended out, for use as a TV from other areas of the room.) I feel like I need another 12" or so between my eyes and the display for comfort while used as a monitor seated at the desk. So I'll likely look into wall mounting the display behind the desk. 

The only thing that scared me off from that TV is the risk of burn In with an OLED.  I’ve read varying things about how much of a risk it actually is, but enough that I didn’t want to have to worry about it (though it seems the risk can be managed with appropriate precautions).

Having said that, it sounds like the picture is second to none, particularly  with dark scenes (ie flying at night).

I went with 55” (Samsung Q80T) and am loving the amount of screen real estate that size includes.

I would love to own that TV, I would buy it if it went down below 800€.
