Thanks Steve, Are you referring to FSX as the Flight Sim? In that case this is the confirmation I was looking for that a 4k monitor can be hooked up to FSX. However I will probably have to wait a little for the 4k TVs to drop in price as I will most certainly also need to upgrade my PC, most importantly my video card which is not up to it right now.

Nugat, I agree with you and it's what I told my neighbour. I guess it all comes down to pixel size. They are starting to make monitors larger than 27" now but what I'm most interested in is to find out if the new 4k TVs will work with Microsoft FSX and if that will enable us to have even nicer setups for Flight Simulation. I can imagine a 40 or even 50" curved 4k television as my main monitor, that would certainly beat any of the 3-monitor layouts that some people use... Guess this should make a good topic for FSX forum

I posted it on the FSX because I believe it's related to FSX rather than display/graphic cards but it could usefully be on both

My neighbour has a similar setup to mine for FSX. I use 2 monitors, one 24" for the instruments, ATC, etc. and a 27" for the main screen. Both are set to HD and picture quality with MS2 sceneries is excellent. My neighbour however decided on a 40" HD TV as the main screen. He also has a Saphire graphic card and HDMI connection to the TV. But the quality of the picture is really poor as if the definition was distinctly lower. The settings for both Display 0 and Display 1 are 1920x1080x32 just like mine. My first thought was a problem with the TV itself but other simulators like Dirt3 show a perfecly clear and crisp picture. Has anybody had a similar problem or have an idea as to what the problem could be? Very thankful for any help.

I use a dedicated monitor for instruments when flying. With a G1000 equipped plane such as the Mooney, I open the main panel, reduce it a little then add 3 more windows (MFD, Radio and ATC). However, whenever I click in the main panel it comes to the foreground and covers the other windows. I saw an article by the late (regretted) OPA entitled <Keeping PopUp windows visible when changing views> and thought that might be the answer but it's not so. Is there a way to either force the main panel always to the back or force the other windows to always stay on top?

I'd like to see better support for some specific gear, Just as an example the Logitech G940 (probably not the best and certainly not the most sophisticated but the only one I know with Force Feedback) has three trim wheels but only one is supported currently (elevator)
