Hi,

can someone tell me if you can split your 49" monitor when flying in MSFS in a way that you have 2/3 of it for msfs and remaining 1/3 for other stuff, like internet, vpilot etc? Has someone such a setup and get post a screenshot/photo?

If you have an 49", which GPU are you using and what temperatures are you getting?

Cannot decide if a 49" or 34" Ultrawide is the better choise. Anyone with experience here?

Well, you get much more lateral space on the 49" when compared to the 34". Even though I also have a Samsung 49" Odyssey, I still prefer to sim on my 48" OLED TV.

While I loose the wide-view aspect, having more vertical space is, for me, more immersive when flying.

On your 49": Could you split your screen in a way that you use 2/3 of it for MSFS and 1/3 for browsing while flying or have it for applications like Volanta or Vpilot?

Never tried using the built-in monitor PIP functionality for this. Currently I use the 49" for productivity tasks connected to two different PCs with 1440p resolution each. Works great!

I assume you could connect the monitor to two different outputs from your GPU and then have two different desktops generate from just one PC. You could use the built-in W11 windows management for that, I assume.

Don't know how to manage my next setup yet. I am using my Monitor mainly for Office work (lot's of reading of PDF's) but also for Design stuff. I would like to do these things parallely while flying. Therefore a 49" inch sounds good. Otherwise I thought about buying a 34" Ultra wide (I think it's then called 38" ?) for Office & Photography/Design and sometime later a 49" inch for MSFS that I could split. However, then I would have two huge monitors (that I of course wouldn't place at the same desk) 

Or I just buy one 49" and use it for Office/Design/MSFS and upgrade later to a 34" or 38". The reason why I want to have two seperate monitors for Office/Design and MSFS is, that i want to use the MSFS Monitor on a desk where I can leave the joystick/yoke and Rudder pedals so they don't annoy me on my main desk and I don't have to put them always aside after takeoff/landing.

However, I don't know how expensive a 49"/34" is supposed to be for MSFS and what features are essential to have a good simulation experience...

I have a 34" and a 38" and I highly recommend the 38". You get a lot more vertical as it is 3840x1600. vs the 34 @ 1440 or the 49 @ 1080. But its not a cheap monitor. 😞
