    That bit were you say don't get hung up on resolution is just so true, Especially in sim racing. There is so much snobbery in sim racing it hurts sometimes, I use triples but also have to dial the detail down a bit more than I would like due to a COVID bought GPU (I:E, My 550 quid should have gone further), But once in game and racing I don't see it and don't care.
    So hats off to saying there is nothing wrong with buying 3 cheap 1080p 60 hz 40" TV's for a triple screen setup, TH-cam is full of content creators that would never go near a statement like that .

      Because it doesn't make much sense in 2024 to buy 2006 tech, at that point you're paying more for the alluminum and plastic used to make the TV frame than you do paying for the TV screen. A 4k 40-50 inch tv goes for $150-200 at the low end and a 40-50 inch 1080p tv retails for about $130-150..

      So true, 1080p, even at 60hz works very well because of the fps performance, particularly with a higher end racing PC.

    As someone with VR and triple 32s, I use the triples 90% of the time. VR is cool to let friends try it out and it's a lot of fun for flying games but you also lose out on a good part of your peripheral vision. So for serious sim racing, it's triples all day. What someone needs to do is make a racing helmet that has the visor as the VR, that would be sweet.

    I've got triple 27inch 1440p 144hz setup and home that I have been using past two years in ACC and last 12 months with 4090 FE. I got Pico 4 last September and currently only racing in VR using Virtual Desktop app and Open XR. Currently racing mostly F3 on LFM. The immersion and feeling of being on a track where I can see everything in 3d all is just brilliant. With 4090 I can run sims on very high settings and maintain stable 90 FPS which is max this headset supports.

    I've been running triple 27" screens for several years now. Spent a lot of time getting all the measurements right for a proper FOV (around 160ish). The center screen is tucked up closely behind my wheelbase and I've got a USBD480 dashboard screen hooked up to SimHub for additional telemetry. Testing it out back-to-back with a VR headset, the vastly improved peripheral vision was just too valuable, so I haven't used VR since getting the triples.

    If you also like to play space and flight sims, you might want to go larger so your eyes feel like they are converging naturally on something much further away than a monitor would be. I went with multiple 4K projectors instead of monitors for this reason and a few others. Its 10ft × 50ft and a tight 180 degree curved screen so it doubles as a immersive movie theater for a bunch of friends at the same time - plus, by going with projectors, it lets it also all be 3D.

I find the 48" setup is really good, set up right behind the wheel base you get a very realistic FOV, and with that distance and a 45 degree angle on the side monitors they cover exactly 180 degrees of my vision :) Would love to switch to VR, or at least do both, at some point but the tech needs to get better. Lighter headset with at least 150+ degrees FOV would be great. Would still keep the triples though, too difficult to have a beer while driving in VR 😅

    I like my triple screens (27"), they aren't quite that big so I don't get as close to full peripheral vision as you can but even just seeing movement from the side and getting a better sense of speed help, always having the mirrors also helps, but since I'm a long time flight sim fanatic I also had a TrackIR 2, and once I hooked that along with the triples... wow!
    Now I can shoulder check and with a quick glance get the missing sides, or in the open wheel setups I can actually shoulder check behind me it's wild! Head movement takes a little getting used to as you train your head to provide a bit of glance to swing the virtual head a bit more usually but having used VR before I found I got some eye strain and discomfort from the headset over long periods so for anyone who might be the same but want more FOV that might be a good bridging of the gap if you want a more immersive experience or just don't have the budget or room size to have 3 big 55" screens.

    At 11:00, this effect really isn’t as dramatic with an ultrawide as you can also reduce the FOV a little and encompass maybe 75% of the total view. Where triples really benefit you is immersion and being able to see those big mirrors or wheels in formula cars. I don’t think “depth perception” is really a thing with single monitors, and my lap times are often faster with unrealistically small FOV’s. The car appears smaller, that is (I guess FOV is technically larger?)
    It’s just a really nice luxury to have the FOV as large as yours (or Will’s) 👍

    From what I’ve seen it seems like anything bigger than triple 32s just means you can push the displays further away while maintaining the same FOV. If you don’t mind having the displays close to you I don’t see much advantage going bigger. It also means that 1080p can look sharper and you don’t need 4K and a $10,000 pc to run it.

In terms of immersion, I'd rather see my real life hands and wheel over the virtual one in VR. I also find it easier to make out braking points based on road texture on the 27" monitor over the Quest 2 (I have a 4070 ti SUPER with the Quest 2 bitrate forced to 800Mbps, 1.5x resolution). So my current plan is to get triple 32" monitors. Interested to try VR headsets in the future with much wider FOVs.

    I am planning to set up a triple display with a 77-inch OLED LG TV that will also serve as a monitor. I am currently using a 3DOF motion simulator, so I would like to use a larger screen. My graphics card is the RTX 4090, which has only one HDMI port and three DP ports on the back. Since the TV/monitor I am using only has an HDMI port, I will need to use an adapter to set up the triple display. I plan to use a model that supports 120Hz, but I am wondering if everything will function properly when connecting through an adapter for the triple display setup. Additionally, since I have enough space, I am considering going with the 77-inch display. If there are no issues such as significant screen distortion that might make the 77-inch less ideal compared to a 55-inch, I would prefer to go with the 77-inch setup.

      @KarlGosling  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I cover this in the video, yes 77" is too big (centre display specifically) you will lose a large portion of the cars interior or in a single seater maybe the front wheels altogether.
      You will need good quality/spec cables and active DP to HDMI adapters.

Throw in a true 7.1 surround sound setup and it's a whole other level. 3D headphones do not compare to a true 7.1 speaker set up. I just got four amps and tied them into the realtek jacks in the back with surround sound speakers and it blows away my RAZER THX surround headphones.

    One thing that isn't mentioned much with triples is the importance of site line in relation to horizon. Not all games have an adjustment for this so what can happen is different drivers depending on height will see the side screens differently. For the person it was originally set up for it will appear to be perfect and level across all screens. But if a shorter driver uses the same setup the horizon on the same monitors will appear to rise the further away from the center screen you get. The same can be said for a taller drive but the opposite will be seen. This is very evident if something like a fence or wall crosses over the bezel or in this case the bezel free kit. The wall will appear to bend instead of being straight.

Maybe the 5090/6090 might change it with the Quest 4 or new VR models. But acting like vr is some holy grail for now is bit much. Even on maxed out settings and lower fps it looks like you're playing on 480-720p lol. The main benefit of vr is depth perception, and "fun" for awhile.

I'm using your setup as a baseline. Maybe a video that goes from "zero to hero" would be something you'd like to do? Info on what to look for in a monitor/TV, cables, DP to HDMI adaptors, set-up, FOV, etc. would be super awesome. I watched your video from a couple years ago and that is also very helpful. Costco has some off-brand 55" 4K TV for $280...but I have no clue if they would be sufficient or not.
    Finally... concerning VR vs Triples....there are certainly pros and cons to both setups. With the Quest 2/3 being pretty affordable I'm not sure why folk are bickering....just do both ! VR is very cool but not as easy to just jump in and drive. But it is for sure the BEST when flying in BMS or other flight simulators.

    I would advise against 60Hz unless on an oled maybe. And from my experience 120Hz on a cheap panel can also be problematic as when you are very close to your display things like ghosting are more visible and as soon as you turn the car just slightly you go from sharp to blurry right away (bad motion resolution). That takes away from the emersion for me, I prefer motion clarity. You have to test for yourself. Just keep that in mind before buying the cheapest biggest TV you can find like I did.

    Going back and forth between RL racing and simracing, I consider VR essential. The big thing you don't get from monitors (whether 3 or 1) is depth perception. And this absolutely changes and hampers the way you position your car in a simulator versus RL. That's not to say you can't be fast with triples. Obviously, you can. But you're sighting your position in different ways than in RL. Which makes it less effective as practice for RL. And less realistic.
    Yes, most VR headsets have a restricted FOV, and that's a legitimate disadvantage. But you can also turn your head. Which is what you do in RL.
    The more VR technology improves, the harder it becomes to make a case for triples.

    Hi Karl, i got the lg45 curved 800r monitor.
    I would like to go to triples setup but do you know how to calculate the angle?
    All calculators are for flat screens.
    Thanks in advance and keep up this good work👌💪

    • @KarlGosling
      @KarlGosling  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Thats all you can use AFAIK mate, most sims do not support curve correction so you will be distorted to some degree... It's why I'm not a fan of curved displays for sim use really.

    I just got a 49" super ultrawide a few weeks ago and I'm completely happy with it at the moment. One thing I've been thinking of getting is a stand so I can move it closer to my rig because it is standing on a table at the moment. I wonder which would be better, a standalone stand or a monitor stand that I could attach into my rig? I only use the "1st person" camera view in racing games so I don't care about mirrors and stuff like that :)

    I think VR is amazing atm but it requires the right set up. Dialed in settings and game mods, proper aftermarket mods (headstrap, batteries, face plates, etc), beefy PC, good router if you're going wireless.
    I imagine by the time we get next gen VR headsets it'll start to truly take over. We're so close already with the clarity of the pancake lens on the quest 3. Right now, the barrier to entry for an actual good VR experience is too much for most people.

    • @KarlGosling

      Agreed mate, plus of course some of us are prone to motion sickness or race with friends so using a VR headset is just not practical.

    I run triple 2k 27s. Space and gpu are the reasons I didn’t go bigger. The thing I don’t really hear is the heat. I ran for years an ultra wide 49” didn’t really have an issues. Now with these I’ve had to rethink my ventilation and cooling for that side of the house. I wouldn’t take it back by any means. Just something to also consider.

    I feel the main drawback to usng VR vs Triples is the lack of peripheral vision.
    Other than that, I love the 3D depth perception and full immersion virtual reality provides.

    • @KarlGosling
      @KarlGosling  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Peripheral vision and vertical FOV too, comfort (sweat), motion sickness, being unable to see your real hardware (button boxes, wheel inputs, etc.), instability... there's very much pros and cons to both and I love VR too! Just not for long sim racing sessions.

    Question for ya. I'm looking at getting a triple screen setup but I don't have the budget for a high quality monitor larger than 32", or the space. Do you think I will be able to come close to the FOV you have with 32" monitors that are positioned closer?

    • @KarlGosling
      @KarlGosling  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It will still be a great experience but I can't say how close it would be to this as I don't know just exactly how you will position them.

      ​​​@@demetrisyianni9175exactly this, everywhere you have these redditors spamming the superiority of VR compared to triples. No shot these people ever had triples before. Or maybe they played 1080 on a 55inch and just were used to absolute sht ppi.
      I've a 4070 super and a quest 3 and despite spending literally a hundred hours tweaking settings you will never even be close to an actual quality image.
      I can see how maybe the 4090 with a pimax could get closer.. But even then it just starts to have an acceptable image. 6090 Wil be the first card with hopefully better pcvr's to actually be able to replace screens. Although triple 4k 144hz oleds will also be a tough competition

    I was considering the 5120x1440 single monitor which would be like dual 16:9 1440p monitors. Any experience with this option Karl?
    Triples take up so much space that it's not an option for myself.

    • @KarlGosling
      @KarlGosling  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You would at least get your mirrors in view, but I'd get a large 16:9 as I don't like the letterbox look and having more vertical FOV adds to immersion.

    Don’t be afraid of trying small screens. I have 23” triples 1080p, and it is also a very huge step according to single screen. The objects and cars size growht are fascinating. My eyedistance is 60-80 cm. The inside mirror and dashboard are completely visible most of the cases despite of the low screen hight.
