Hey guys, I haven't made the jump to 2024 yet. One thing that would help my decision making would be a positive scenario in relation to running a triple screen setup in 2024. Can anyone give me feedback in relation to this eg. does 2024 support multi monitor as in 2020? Has it been improved or worse, as I have read? If not, is Asobo working on it? Is anyone using triple screen in 2024? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Rocky,

I'm using a triple screen setup in 2024, the same as I was in 2020 running 3 x 4K 48" OLED TV's off my 5090.

The experience is largely the same as with 2020, however for me there are two points of note

- Setting up the monitor alignment is made more difficult as when you enter the 2024 menu, the sim switches to external mode and zooms out. Hence it takes more time and trial and error to align your monitors.

- Using FSR Frame Generation applies frame generation to all three monitors as opposed to just one with DLSS. My understanding is 2020 doesn't support native FSR Frame Generation so this is not an option there (not withstanding it may be via OptiScaler as a third party app). This is a game changer for me as it means I can run frame generation across all three monitors.

Performance wise, I've not noticed much difference although I find 2024 is easier on main thread and heavier on GPU with my triple monitor setup. YMMV.

Are you moving away from your fixed cockpit? Seem to recall from your videos you've built quite the little setup there around a single TV....

If you'd be so kind as to add any requests/wishes to the official wishlist thread on the forums here, that would be great! There's also a fair bit of data and details in there about setups.

Hiya Kael,

Thanks for the reply. Interesting about the whole triple screen setup scenario, I mean, it's been a highly requested element of the sim since the release of 2020 and it seems Asobo still haven't done anything to improve things. Very frustrating. Are you saying that you have to align the monitors every time you start 2024? As for my cockpit, I have been playing with the idea of a triple screen setup for about the past twelve months, but there is a substantial cost involved as you know, I don't want to invest all that money if I end up being disappointed, not to mention the time and effort I'd spend in building a new cockpit. If I do, it could be a project I could build through the winter months.

Interesting about frame gen working on all three monitors in 24, that is quite a game changer! If this is the case, I would imagine an RTX4090 would be more than capable of driving the setup(?)

Thanks for the link and info, appreciated.

Hi Rocky,

No, you don't need to adjust the monitors each time you load 2024, its just more difficult to setup them up initially than it was in 2020. Its not a war stopper, just one of those quality of life things Asobo seems to have no interest in fixing.

I used to run my my three monitors on a 4090 without much issue - Made much better since FSR FG arrived in SU2 and works accross all monitors. Other thing to consider is you can use TV smooth motion to create a sort of FG effect at the TV end if you get the right TVs. Thats something else to look into. I presume you'd be going 2 x 4k?

Hi Kael, all very positive thanks! I run, I think the same as you, LG 4k 48GQ900-48 inch, UHD 4K OLED (?) Beautiful monitor, stunning. The problem is, the price is ridiculous! So if I want to match the monitor, which is of course important, it would mean me buying two more similar monitors that would likely cost me about £3000! Far too much money for me to spend. There's my quandary. Sooo, I could try and find two used models on Ebay, or more likely, three different monitors all together and sell the LG. The cheapest way would be to get three TVs I guess, but I have always pushed against the idea of using TVs for simming. I know lots of guys do use them, but I guess 'old habits'.... Oddly, only yesterday I received a text from a simming friend of mine and he asked if I wanted to buy his 4090 for £900!!! Not a great deal of use on it. So I'd sell my 3090 in favour of that and it would save me a lot of cash in doing so. If I could arrange a similar outcome for the monitors, then I'd probably make the jump. 

Hi Rocky,

You'll need at least a 4090 to run 3 x 4K as you probably know. To be honest, whilst I love my 48" LG OLEDs, if I did it all over again I wouldn't go the OLED path. Whilst the image is amazing, there are plenty of cheaper monitors that will achieve results that really are just as good. Another thing I didn't factor in with the OLEDs is that due to the instantaneous refresh, you REALLY notice anything less than around 45-50 FPS. With my previous Hisense 4K TV's I was able to lock the frame rate at 40 FPS and it was pretty smooth. Doing that with the OLED's is noticeably more stuttery. Pretty well discussed around the traps if you wanted to read more about it.

If I was you, I'd just get three cheaper (But still reasonable quality) 48 or 50" TVs and the 4090. If you can sell the existing OLED to offset the costs then all the better!

Ah yes Kael, interesting about the smoothness, that is something I have noticed and thought it was down to settings, but I have tried every setting under the sun to no avail. The picture is beautiful, and while I don't see stuttering in the normal sense, there is,as you say, a lack of smoothness. It's ironic to think I paid the kind of money I did, hoping to get the best possible monitor for the sim and it turned out to not be the case! I agree TBH about OLED. But yet you are running the LG 4K OLED? Any advice on the TV's would be appreciated

I'm not an expert on TV's mate, but I'd suggest a decent panel Sony would be my suggestion, I was using a BRAVIA of some variation before I got the OLEDs. In hindsight I'd have saved the dollars and got three TV's in the $700-$1000 AUD range, not the $1800 AUD  I paid for these OLEDs.

I'm looking at the VR Insight panel you showcased again...but for $1500 AUD I think its going to be a solid pass given some of the other hardware coming on the market thats much cheaper.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the OH panels. But to be fair, I paid just short of £1000 for the VRI and yes, there are cheaper options, probably the one by FlightSim PM, which I looked at, but that and others like it, are better value, they don't reflect the true layout of the panel, and don't have the full range of switches. I guess now that I'm retired and need to watch my pennies, I'd probably consider the flightSim PM panel TBH. But I am extremely happy with my VRI panel. What other options are you looking at?

Howard.

I saw your VRI video some time ago and was tempted to pull the trigger on it but between the cost and the fact its a 737 and all my other hardware is Airbus sort of prevented me from doing so. 

I've been tempted to pull grab one of these;

https://simgauges.com/products/flight-simulator-airbus-compact-overhead-panel-a320?srsltid=AfmBOorxn6-yl1PYamyVGv1aMPZnfsKIrmIMdSmXhKeP6fGabaBb1YkQ

Or 

https://mechdiy.com/collections/flight-sim-control-panels/products/rowsfire-r107-a320pro-a320-max-light-ovh-overhead-panel

Both look pretty good to me and are much cheaper than the VRInsight products. The advantage to the Airbus overheads in my book is that the Airbus aircraft feature much more commonality and work better between models (A319/A320/A321/A330/A340 and to a lesser extend A350) as opposed to the 737 which really is unique to the 737.

Hey Kael, the Simgauges model looks very nice indeed! I can see why you'd be tempted. VRI do an Airbus version, just in case you're unaware  But I agree, the cost is a big thing these days, especially when everything is so bloody expensive everwhere you go! I've been looking at TVs, but of course one of the major reasons I bought the LG was it's semi-matt screen, my previous model was a glossy screen and I found it an absolute pain in the neck. The idea of having three monitors adjacent to each other and all glossy, isn't an option for me, so I will do some further searches for models with semi-matt screens. 

The reflection (glossy) surface is important when they're sort of facing each other as the reflections off all three are very notiable in the dark. Mine aren't too bad, but even then flying in a dark room at night it is annoying.

I had seen the VRI Airbus overhead panels but whilst it was full size, the quality doesn't look as good as either their Boeing one or the other smaller sized airbus ones... plus the activated lighting is nicer on the smaller ones.
