June 8, 20242 yr I currently have a 27" IPS monitor that I want to renew. My doubt is which will be a better option for the simulator: 32 inch 4k 34 inches ultrawide 1440p Which of these two options will give the best immersion?
June 8, 20242 yr Moderator For greater immersion you need a larger monitor than 32” but perhaps available space or budget prevents that. Two inches extra is not going to make any appreciable difference. Plus the 34” only has 1440 vertical pixels. The 32” has 50% more at 2160. That will provide a sharper image especially important for cockpit gauges. I’d go with the 32” 4K and the BenQ PD3200U with a 30Hz refresh rate is one of the very best. Ray (Cheshire, England).

June 8, 20242 yr Also consider the fact that the physical screen height of a 34 inch ultrawide monitor is about the same that of a 27 inch 16:9 monitor. So if you were to go with a 34 inch ultrawide, you will have about the same screen height of your current 27 inch IPS, just a bit larger horizontally.

June 8, 20242 yr For which simulator? And what are your hardware specs? For MSFS and X-Plane, I have opted for 21:9 ultrawide monitors with hardware G-Sync. Both the 38" and 34" Alienware G-Sync ultrawides are good. For P3D, a monitor capable of native 30 Hz vertical scan rate is my preferred option. The ultrawides give more of a sense of peripheral motion from the wide-aspect ratio view, plus they allow the ability to see much more of a large airliner panel without having to pan the view. I personally don't find the higher resolution of a 4K monitor below 40" to be of great benefit in terms of readability over a good 1440p panel. When you get up to the 40" and higher sized panels, the higher pixel density does make a real difference, and on large-format panels 4K is the only way to fly. Also, a 3840x2160 4K display puts a 71% higher load on the GPU in terms of pixels per frame than the 3360x1440 34" ultrawide, so if you're not running on the high-performance end of the GPU spectrum, the lower bandwidth needed to feed the 1440p display may be of some benefit in keeping frame rates high.

July 3, 20241 yr I went with a Dell G3223Q as a replacement for my Dell S27212DGFA and I am pretty happy with it. For both office and MSFS. Nice plus in regards of size and PPI, thus much sharper. Only HDR is subpar, but this I was aware of before buying it. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
