triple screen question, 3x 1080p possible on 4k tv's?

[jozeff 94]

Hi guys,

 

After flying xplane in vr for 3 years I'm looking for a triple screen setup to use when I don't want to isolate myself and just relax at my desk. I will keep my rift s for the immersion factor.

 

I'm looking for triple tv setup.

43 inch 1080p tv's are about as expensive as 43 inch 4k tv's.

 

Obviously I cannot run 3 x 4k screens smoothly  (24 million pixels...) on my computer although I have a 2080s and high end cpu  etc.

 

I can very smoothly run 3 x 1080p screens however. Can I run the 4k screens at 1920 x  1080 without any problems? I Know I will loose resolution. I just want to know if it technically possible without any strange artifacts or problems. I mean, I'd rather have three 4k screens than three 1080p screens for the same price. I may be able to run 3 x 4k in a couple of years,  who knows.

 

Does the upscaling from 1080p to 4k cause any problems with relatively cheap 4k tv's? I have a very expensive 3440 x1440 monitor and running it on 2560 x 1080 looks horrible to be honest. I understand that this     doesn't have the 4:1 pixels ratio  that upscaling from full hd to 4k does ..

 

I am 45 years old and have reading glasses so I don't see every finest detail to be honest  ..

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

No artifacts, but you will see it even though it's 4:1. The image is less crisp than it would be on a native FHD screen. I believe this has to do with how antialiasing treats single pixels or something like that.

It's doable, but if you disliked switching resolution on your 3440 monitor very much 😄, chances are you won't like it.

Thanks a lot guys, appreciate it.

I read a lot about upscale quality differences between 4k tv's.  But, aren't all 2021 tv's capable of upscaling decently.  I mean, there is a lot of 1080p content in the world and if all of it looked blurry I guess they wouldn't sell a lot of tv's.

What about input lag? My 10 year old tv's input lag is sufficient for flightsimming but probably not for fast paced action games. Are the current cheap 4k televisions capable of giving me good quality glightsim experience?

Thanks for your thoughts

I think you can run xplane on 3x4k tv's having a 2080 super. I did it with a 2080 ti card. Regarding gaming tv's, do you know this site, https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/video-gaming  ?

Ok thanks!

 

Three 4k tv's is 25million pixels..  isn't that an awful lot? I use 9.25 million pixels right now (3440×1440 and two 1080p  monitors on the side) .

 

I get 37 to 41 fps in the toliss 321.

 

Cheers

If you are looking for immersion you are better to get a VR headset and put the settings on medium or low-medium. Three monitors will kill your FPS.

It's true that I ran the game mostly in nvidia surround mode. Using three tv's independently I had to downgrade the resolution up to 1440p each.

Hi,

Save your cash and pick up two more computers then network the three together and run them @ 4K.
