- After months of research, I finally got the perfect triple monitor setup for me and I'm in heaven. I went from the Samsung 49" ultrawide to 3 32" monitors and never looking back.

Great and succinct breakdown! Setup looks dope.
I think a lot of people avoid 57s because of the price and the added resolution, but if you can’t do triples you really should skip over the 49” and save up for a 57” instead. It may seem like a marginal difference, but in reality it makes all the difference in the world. It cannot compete with triples, certainly, but it is more competent than the 49s at filling up the peripheral space, increasing immersion, and providing additional vertical real estate, which can be a huge boon.
This is the route I’m taking myself as I’m just shy of being able to do proper triples, but have enough space for the 57. It’s near double the price at $2k plus, but I feel like it will reduce the sting of not being able to get a full triple setup in my office.
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching the video. I thought strongly about going with the 57” ultrawide but the price versus triples didn’t make sense and I have the space for triples. I think with a 57” you’re still going to miss some of the screen real estate but is definitely better than a 49”.
Or Meta Quest 3. Nothing beats VR for immersion while we offering advice
One of the best youtube videos i have seen in a while. Straight to the point no 10 min bullshit. Keep it up man!
I try to keep videos like this short because who wants to talk for 10 minutes lol. I have a follow up video I will be posting with some upgrades I already made.
One small tip for immersion - turn off the wheel in-game. Your wheel is there and sometimes when the steering angle isn’t set to be 1:1 the difference can break immersion
Funny I just started doing this this week but I don’t turn off the wheel on GTP’s because there info I need.
Could you get a dash screen and have the info you need on there?
Looks great. It's a great video--I would have liked to see some comparison footage with the 49" though, as this is a very popular alternative
I think 32" is great, much better than 27" (what I'm using now). But for those who want to spend it, I feel like 45"+ triples are probably the way to go, especially now since they make TVs that can handle video game framerates
Great video Dude! Love the setup! I just got one of the new 49's you referenced here and i love it but yeah I got mine on sale and you still paid way less for these! Triples are hands down the best if you have the space! Look forward to watching you race on these!
Thank you for watching! Yeah the 49" ultrawide is not a bad way to go It treated me well for the 14 months I had been using it for. Its crazy that 1 monitor can cost more than 3 32's but here we are. Happy racing.
Sick setup man, thx for the video, clean, concise, and not a lot of extra nonsense talk. Love it 👍🏼
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the info, You answered a couple questions on the measurements that I couldn't find anywhere else.
grüezi, isch no praktisch das vdieo gel😁🇨🇭
Thank you for including the dimensions edge-to-edge. This is useful!
Glad it was helpful! I searched for this info online and couldn’t find anything
I was sort of hesitant with going triples, because I did ok with a single 32 inch and got over 3.5k irating. Having gone triples, I could never go back. Makes racing so much easier and the immersion alone is worth every penny.
Btw love the camera work, especially with the music as well. Great video
Yeah, it would be hard to go back to a single monitor when wheel-to-wheel racing because seeing your windows helps so much. 3.5K is impressive Im not near that Im at 1.8K and trying to break into 2k.
I'm glad you like the camera work it's what I do for a living and haven't lost the touch lol. Happy racing.
Wish I had the space for trips. My 55" TV will have to do for now until I am able to get a bigger place.
Great production on the videos!!!
Thank you! I put a lot of effort into making content visually appealing.
Thankyou Brother, I have just purchased the exact same monitors and found your video at the perfect time.
I’m glad I could help now if only ACER would see these comments it would be great lol
Nice setup man! I just started going down the sim rabbit hole as I gave up the motorcycle racing hobby when I had a kid. I've experimented with a few options and, like yourself settled on triple 32's. Still need to get it dialed in but it's pretty amazing. Cheers!
Nice! Welcome to the endless money pit but get to enjoy it. Did you race street bikes or dirt bikes?
Street. I ran in lightweight 400 with a Yamaha R3. It was really fun but also a money pit with added danger haha, and a big time commitment. At least with a sim in my basement, I can jump on for a few laps whenever I get some free time.
@@hali_moto yeah I could never get into street bikes the danger element is what turned me away and out in California there are tons of moto accidents. Yeah sim racing has a lot of enjoyment for me since I can’t find the time to go to the track and the amount it cost in tires and fuel for me made me go with a sim. I had my fun on the track in my Porsche but I always had the thought of injury or damage in the back of my mind.
@steezyisgaming Yea, the street is insane I was in one accident because of a driver pulling out in front of me, got away from that pretty lucky though. That's what got me to go to the track. A lot of people find it hard to believe but the track is actually a lot safer. One track school led to another, and then I was building a bike and racing haha. Was a great time but that chapter is over and now its time for the sim rig.
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Underrated content! Keep going 🎉
Appreciate you watching and your comment
Dope vid
Great vid man! Keep it up, you have a new sub😅
Thanks for the sub!
I have the same triples. Just finished it, love it.
Congrats you don’t be disappointed.
I'm about to do the same! Nice video! Short, sweet, and informational! Keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
What would tripple 27inches measure (left to right) at this same angle?
Love it, I’m currently going from single to triples myself. Waiting on the last vesa mount to show up. Been a struggle trying to get the monitors to align up lol.
Very nice! Aligning the monitors is the biggest struggle for us all but you got this. I took a different approach to line up the monitors and it seemed to work for me. I got the angle of the arms first by using a protractor. One both sides were at my desired angle of 55 degrees I then adjusted the monitor mounts by pressing the side monitors as tight as I could, and tightened the vesa mount.
@@steezyisgaming awesome I’ll follow you on those ideas. Are you going with the bezel free kit in the future?
@@StevenPlays.Funny you ask that question I just went with the Bezel free kit and upgraded my GPU last week.
Nice video bro. Easy to hear and clear points. Im currently on a single 34 ultra
Thank you! I’m glad you like it. I started in a 34 ultra and it was good and gave a good FOV to start.
@steezyisgaming crazy how the 3060ti can still perform like it does. I too had a 3060ti, and now literally building my pc with 4070
@@timtamtung It did until I felt like it didn't. I made a follow up video where I upgraded to the 4070ti, 1000 watt PSU and Bezel free kit. You can check it out on the channel.
Nice content! I wish youtube make a triple monitor format support one day for simracing content (why not?) and also make 120hz for all videos at least. It's 2024 already. WTF modern technologies stucked in the ass of progress. 😁
Merci pour ce beau setup 👍🏽
Merci à toi 👍
I'm sitting here with 3 monitors exactly like yours in boxes, so this video was especially helpful trying to figure out how much space it will take. I'm currently running a RX 6600 XT graphics card with 8gb of VRAM. I will likely need a new card to run 2k but maybe I can run 1080p to get by until I figure-out what to get. I would be interested in what titles you are running and what FPS and VRAM usage you are getting. Thanks!
I’m glad I was able to help you with the specs of the setup there isn’t enough info out there so I thought it could help some people.
The only titles I currently run are mainly iRacing and then I sprinkle in AC and ACC. IRacing is the hardest on the GPU and was getting bottlenecked on the 3060ti at 1440p so I made the switch to the 4070ti and upgraded the power supply. I made a video about it along with the Bezel free kit that I posted. th-cam.com/video/WSb8mc0k5uo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=H9TY-eUcyrwRAHTA
Ive been running triples for a long time. Starting with 21s then 27s and recently to 34s. They definitely crank out some heat. With the 27s i was running a 5700xt. With the 34s and. 27 center top i had to go to a 7900xt. Running at 10220x1440 i think. Something like that anyway. Its pretty awesome if you can swing it. It takes up a lot of room for sure.
Good stuff
awesome setup man! I just built myself a pc and next is getting everything together to have a setup like this! Keep it up! Where did you get that background, I love the colors?
Thank you and also appreciate the sub. I just did a google search for Ultrawide 4k cyberpunk and it popped up.
Hello, very informative video, thanks a lot. I have two questions, as I also plan to go for a triple screen setup.
1. I would like to run the triple screen setup on a NLR F-GT Rig. The integrated monitor stand only supports up to triple 27 inch. Would you say that the difference between triple 27 and triple 32 is extremely noticeable? Triple 27 would be quite a lot better for my budget.
2. What are your thoughts on flat vs curved? I have read negative comments online regarding FOV on curved and also distorted image on the outer screens. Are you (still) happy with curved over flat? If the distortion isn't bad, I would personally prefer curved over flat, because I expect the curvature to increase immersion:
I would be happy about an answer. Have a good day :)
If you already have a stand that could hold up to 27’s I would go that route. I’m not 100% sure but the price difference from 27s to 32’s is like $30-$50 per monitor and are usually easier to find.
I prefer curved over flat just because they line up much easier and they wrap around you. I have zero distortion because I took the time on learning how to set them up from other sim racers on gone. It sounds like those complaining don’t know how to setup the FOV properly. I used irsidekick for iRacing and SRWE for ACC. You have to make sure you input the right dimensions which take time but worth it.
🔥🔥🔥
Great video! i just picked up triple monitors and im waiting on Fanatec to ship my stuff but i wanted to ask how would i go about running these triples while also keeping my regular gaming monitor setup. my 4070TI only has 3 Display ports and i would have 4 monitors.. i wanna keep 165hz@2K. Thanks in advance!
Congrats I hope your gear from Fanatec comes soon I’ve heard horror stories of recent. As for setting up triples I recommend you download a program call “irsidekick”. It’s probably the easiest way to set it up for iRacing. I have 5 monitors total so I use the HDMI ports for the non gaming monitors. I believe Dan Suzuki has a video on setting it up.
@@steezyisgaming thank you!
Cool video dude. Thinking of going triples from my 49" crg9. What kind of frames are you getting with these triples?
I ended up selling the 3060Ti and upgraded to the 4070Ti shorty after the video. I did a couple of test in extreme conditions like Daytona at night with 59 cars and the lowest I hit was 70fps and the highest was 155fps
so dope!
Exciting times ahead
Dude - awesome rig! It’s exactly what I want to do, would you mind telling me about your PC? Is it off the shelf or?

Very jealous mate, looks awesome! Interested in your thinking of screen choice as the bezels seems to be kinda think?
Thank you for watching! I think you meant to say “thin” which the bezels are very thin and don’t really get in the way. I ended up going with the bezel free kit that came in after I filmed and uploaded the video. I will post an update this week.
Oh nice, very interested to see how that looks. That’s always been my concern with triples.. getting the thinnest bezels possible so that those kits work properly.
@@Major_WattsBezel free kit video is now live. Check it out!
Great pros and cons, you think of doing bezel free kit or leaving it as is?
Thank you! I ended up doing the bezel free kit and made a video about it th-cam.com/video/WSb8mc0k5uo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y7VtDNsOZFheEbE8
nice setup! Interesting point about the heat. Often I hear that VR racing generates the heat but rarely keep hearing that argument for the triples. One way or the other, I think I don't see myself racing without the fans
It gets so hot I lose weight from driving I’m sure lol. Instead of 1 monitor going it’s 3 to create more heat and put you in this confined space. I think the computer is also working harder so it’s pumping out a lot of heat. I keep the ceiling fan going and crack open a window when I’m racing.
@@steezyisgaming my solution some time ago was the windkit from SRS. Amazing thing which does not only help with sweating but adds up to the immersion
@@GUN69_ Ive been looking into doing a DIY setup. The teammate that recommended these monitors also did a DIY wind kit and it seems to be working fine. I think all in the price was $80 fo kit assuming you have someone who can 3D print some parts for me.
@@steezyisgaming yeah - you will get that cheaper if you do it all yourself. I didn't trust my DIY skills and didn't have the access to the 3D printer, so went for SRS. One thing - SRS or DIY, windkit is an amazing addition in my honest opinion
Beast of a setup !!! wow, .. very nice job sir! question, cant make up my mind for a couple of weeks now, triple 27 or triple 32. I do have the space for 32, and I can also place my steer wheel close to the monitor for the 27, and budget wise I can afford both, I even tried the cardboard screen example on my rig, still no idea.. and when I think about the bezel free kit, its better to go 27 without the hassle of 3d printing or DYI'ing ... so long story short, what can you advise? thanks for your reaction in advance, keep the vids coming!
If you have the room for 32’s I would say go for it. Having that little bit more helps your FOV and you don’t want to have to go through it twice. A buddy of mine went 27’s and returned them and bought 32’s because he just wanted a little more. You don’t have to print your on bezel kit adapter you can find them on Etsy for relatively cheap. This looks like the perfect adapter kit simsportgadget.com/products/asus-bezel-free-kit-32-inch-monitor-adapter-curved-and-flat-monitor-pack-of-4
I also wanted to thank you for watching the video and hope you subscribed I have a lot of cool content coming.
Im thinking about making the switch from vr. Looks great. But you should get your self some bezel eliminators
Already took care of that I made a video about it and upgraded my GPU. th-cam.com/video/WSb8mc0k5uo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WUwWbswKy4vSBSNC
Good stuff and great effects. I need a decent camera. lol
Thank you! A iPhone 15 Pro and a gimbal is just as good. It all comes down to how you light it and how you shoot. Shoot and editing content is my full time job for Hyundai, KIA, Genesis and Supernal.
@@steezyisgaming Super cool. That is NOT my job so, yeah, I could do so much better. Although it is a process to this. Slow and steady. Good stuff man.
You will get there man I’ve had decades of experience.
I just couldn’t believe you were running high refresh rates triple monitors… on a 3060ti. Nice
It’s was very track dependent and I had to turn off some things in the graphics settings. Since this video I switched to a 4070ti and bigger power supply.
Bezel free kit and 4070Ti video is now live. Check it out!
Just curious why not add 27s to each side of the 49 instead?
Love the setup though, I’m considering jumping back up to triples.
Honestly that sounds like more of a headache trying to set it up and finding a triple monitor stand sounds impossible. I’ve seen it done on Reddit but personally it isn’t what I wanted to build.
Thanks for posting this, i was debating and looking at tons of monitors but these just went $70 off each at Costco and bought 3 of them for roughly $550. Smoking deal IMO.
You will love the monitors they have been very good so far. That’s a great deal I wish I could have gotten them for that price.
@@steezyisgaming awesome, so glad you shared this, thanks a lot. I returned the 45” ultra wide LG that i had ordered, i think i will be more happy with this setup despite having the triple stand alone monitor stand that costs quite a bit more, still worth it. This sets me up for motion if i ever decide that is important. :-)
@@MikeBalogaNow if someone at Acer were to see this video I hope they see this comment lol
What'd adapters did u use to mount the monitors? Some type of Vesa? Which one!
Just grabbed some of these
My triple monitor stand came with the VESA mount adapters.
@@steezyisgaming I'll check it out thanks!
Hey, one other question. You mentioned a protractor you printed-off. What the the angle and where did you find it?
I did 55 degrees but most people do 65 if their monitor stand allows it. I think my stand max out at 60. I also didn’t want to make it difficult to get in and out of the rig. You can download it here ece.k-state.edu/hkn/files/protractor.pdf
@@steezyisgaming Thanks!
I didn't read through ALL the comments so I don't know if I'm the 1st to mention it my friend but if you haven't tried sim racing in VR................ya never go back to screens. Love the vid !
Thanks for watching! Yes it has been said and I have tried it but did not enjoy it. I get motion sickness pretty easy so when I did it it was an immediate no. Maybe I had the wrong equipment and settings at the time but I just can’t see myself going back. I like to know what’s around me IRL because I have a family who is constantly asking me things.
@@steezyisgaming I hear ya, I have a lot of friends and family that can't do it because of that reason. Its a tough thing to get used to and for some just not worth it. Hope to see ya out on the tracks :)!!
Hey! I think I was just looking at these monitors in Costco! They still holding up alright?
Holding up perfectly so far I’m happy with my choice.
nice set up. where did you get the keyboard stand
positionadvanceusa.com/collections/sim-racing-1/products/swiveling-keyboard-tray
i just ordered the same monitors but im running a 3070TI gpu. Do you think its enough or should i upgrade my card?
I would see how different tracks and settings work for you first. Even after upgrading to a 4070ti and moderate settings in iRacing my GPU has low frame rates in the rain.
Do you happen to have MFS2020 or X-plane? I'm trying to see what inside the cockpit of a 737 or A320 would look like on 32's. I'd really appreciate it!
That’s funny I do have MSFS on my PC and haven’t tried it with triple screens. I have to see how I set it up to work on all 3 monitors
@@steezyisgaming I believe MFS2020 supports it now and X-plane supports it easily in the settings. If you do happen to try it out, please upload a TH-cam short for me :D I'd love to see the cockpit view inside an airliner. Thank you!
@@NelksLife Hey man I ended up putting something together real quick and posted one shorts for you.
@@steezyisgaming Found it! Thank you!
This is what I was looking for, great content. Yesterday I bought 3 of the same monitors, I will connect them tomorrow. what kind of bazel kit do you use?
Greetings from Munich, Germany 👍💪
Thank you for watching the video. I have the Asus Bezel Free Kit and had to have adapters 3D printed for 32” screens. You can find the file on thingyverse.com
I just setup my triple monitor setup and my issue is now I keep tripping a breaker….never had this issues while playing iRacing till I added 2 additional monitors to have 3 total. I guess just adding 2 more monitors has added an overload? Not sure why….any suggestions? Did adding triples cause you to trip any breakers
That sucks to hear. The only thing I can think of is the surge protector you’re using because I can’t imagine 2 monitors adding that much power. I have a surge protector with a backup battery and had to upgrade my breaker a couple years back because I went solar.
@@steezyisgaming so I have a surge protector and all my power cords are plugged into it, however the cord doesn't reach the outlet, so I plugged the surge protector cord into another power strip (was not plugged into another surge protector, but just a power strip that then plugs into the outlet) Could that be my issues?
@@ericbaker2025 I’m no electrician but that couldn’t be your issue. Have you gone to Reddit with your issue? I think that might help you.
Are you gonna get a bezel free kit for your setup aswell? I think it would look really nice
I did add the bezel free kit after this video. Maybe I will post an update since I upgraded a few things since then.
Bezel free kit video is now live
What is the distance you run eye to screen? Looks really nice!
I am 26 inches away from my screen being I am 6’2” and have long legs. I do some custom tweaks with the camera settings with Ctrl + F12 to make it where it feels like I’m in the car I don’t like that feeling of the car being overly massive .
@@steezyisgaming gotcha. I’m not running triples yet- a ways out, but I’m trying to plan my best. Thank you for the response! I’ll check out your channel- good luck to you!
@@dylanmosley3030No problem! I did a lot of research prior to me getting mine
nice rig ! what is the mount you use to hold the ipad ?
Thank you! I bought it on Etsy and mine is for sale if you are in the US. It’s made for the Fanatec wheel bases tho
oh sorry I am in Canada , i am using a simucube. Thanks @@steezyisgaming
How are those monitors holding up? Great setup!
Monitors have been perfect I am glad I went this route.
What kind of FPS were you getting on average with the 3060ti?
Depends on the track and time of day but anywhere from 80-130fps. I only drove on 3 tracks before just switching last week to the 4070Ti.
Just posted the 4070Ti video
One quick tip ; try to match the size of the game wheel with your real wheel , this make a huge immersion difference, thanks me later
How can a 3060ti run a 7680x1440 resolution at 165hz?
I’m no tech nerd but obviously it did just to the max. It’s not just the GPU the CPU also plays a huge part looking at the benchmarks. I ended up upgrading to the 4070ti
What is the overall width of the sim rig in mm?
1,574.8mm
@@NickelsVision thank you!
Two words:
Cable Management.
Already took care of it after the video was recorded. I was waiting on 3D printed parts to come in
3060ti? Your graphics settings must be pretty low, I had to upgrade from a 3080 on my setup with the same screens specs to a 4090. I can now lock it at 150 fps with high settings and be fine 👍🏾
Yeah I don't like to run too high of graphics settings as I care more for FPS than quality but the image still looks really good. I need to post an update video next week because I switched to a 4070ti, 1000 watt power supply and Bezel Free kit
Also, after watching some benchmark test with iRacing I noticed your CPU plays a big part which I have a intel i7-12900KF
All you have to do is turn cloud shadows off and fps will be fine with a 30 series card
@@steezyisgaming nice 👍🏾
Just posted a quick video with the new 4070Ti
Nice Setup, but the Wheel is an shit Bro. By a Asetek or Simagic or Simucube, why Fanatec Bro ?
When was Cube Controls shit?
wait until you try VR :)
I tried it and I got motion sickness
@@steezyisgaming I did my first two times after that it faded and get used to it, I know what you mean tho first times was very weird but you'll adjust
if you are running a 3080 or 3090 wait until the 5000 series comes out in real world gaming you just don't get that much more power per dollar given you would pay at least 1300 for a 4090 these days.
I upgraded to a 40 series shorty after making the video.
I switched from triples to 49" curved and it's SO MUCH BETTER than triples.
why is it much better??
Interesting you went to a 49" curved and found it better? In what ways has it worked for you?
