Hi all, I am a newbie to this site and need some advice re monitors for FSX.
I have been using FSX for about 3 years on a single 17" Samsung. I use FSX primarily as a training aid (I hold a PPL) and the 17" monitor has sufficed for this purpose.
I have recently upgraded my hardware and am trying to determine what to do about the monitor to improve the overall immersive experience.
One option I am considering is moving to a single ultra wide monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9 and resolution of 2560 x 1080.
Can anyone comment on how the immersive experience might be on this configuration versus the more traditional 2/3 monitor setup?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
By the way my current setup is as follows:
Processor: I5-4670K
Power Supply: 700 Watt
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-s2PV Ultra Durable
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 120V Liquid CPU Cooler
RAM: 8GB Kingston
C Drive: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB ATA
FSX Drive: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB ATA
Disk Drive 3: Western Digital 300GB ATA Drive
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560
Monitor: Samsung
Software: Windows 8.1 64 bit (Only recently upgrade from Windows 7 64 bit).

Thanks.
