With a good wide-format instrument panel running in FS, the instruments approach life-size, and that really does add something to the experience.Monitor technologies proved to be an interesting learning curve as well-all LCD monitors are NOT created equal. My viewing distance is set at ~30", and could actually be comfortably closer except that I use a floor-mounted column yoke that requires my seat to be set back an extra foot or so. If you're buying a large format display, and then having to set it back 4-5 feet to avoid having the grainy pixellation degrade the IQ, the angular field of view isn't really any different than that of a smaller display set closer. The difference, having seen both, is that the much-higher resolution of the SHD monitor allows you to place it pretty close-much closer than a large-format TV due to the tighter pixel matrix, giving you a wall-to-wall field of view while set at pretty close to the right distance for an instrument panel. Once I got the 30" monitor in my hands, I just had to try it out on the FS machine, and the results were so impressive I can't bear to move it back to the other machine now.I know that many people have opted to use large-format 1920x1080 TVs rather than the hi-res (and much more expensive) monitors. The monitor was purchased with the intent of replacing a pair of high-quality NEC 22" CRT monitors on a different PC, one of which died a few weeks ago. ![]() The monitor was pricey at $1350.but the improvement in image quality over the 26" Samsung I was using really did surprise me. I'm currently driving it with a GTX480 modestly overclocked to 800/2000. ![]() I haven't seen this topic discussed here.thought I'd throw out some of what I've learned about running FS on super high definition monitors, and some rather striking differences between the various LCD technologies.I just added a Dell U3011 "Supersharp" 30-inch SHD (2560 x 1600, 16:10 aspect ratio) monitor to my FS machine. ![]()
