W or L? Let me know below.
W is subbing to the channel
Is it a little low ? Seems like a quarter if the screen is blocked from your base and wheel.
W if raised up a bit for me 😄
W for sure 😊
Ive been racing with a 65" 4k TV 120fps for 2 years and Im happy, one crucial super important thing you need to do, is a "custom resolution", AMD adrenalin software has that option, in my case I made a resolution of 3440 x 1440, aspect ratio of 21/9, this put black bars on the top and botttom, reducing the vertical view just a little (like you say on ACC yo need to see huds) and the tv feels like a giant ultrawide screen.
This is a good option, one which I’ve experimented with before. Another benefit is it’s not rendering the nearly useless dark pixels above or below the windscreen, giving you more FPS or a more stable frame rate. I used to race with a Sony 55” 4K TV and tried running it at 3840x1080 once, the same aspect as a super ultra wide. It was on my TV stand, so too far away to make it viable, but definitely worth doing on a 65” screen mounted much closer to you.
You probably meant 3840*1440, otherwise you're running non native resolution on the horizontal axis.
Samsung tvs have ultrawide mode available from the menu - does exactly the same without hassle. Just not sure why would I prefer black bars to the cars roof or sky (in case of mx5 iracing :)
Would it be an overkill to play with this TV on PS5?
Its a big W. 55" 4K 120fps up close to your face is very immersive. 55" is the perfect size for immersion. Tripple 55" is the ultimate setup.
The "ultimate" setup is a matter of opinion, and mine is that triples are very inefficient cost-wise for what you're getting and actually using, especially when compared to VR.
@@LargeStyle. There are many inefficiencies with VR too… just they are more on the actual use of the product.
@@LargeStyletriples are better than vr
@@robertt9342Inefficiencies such as? I just put on my headset, launch SteamVR, launch the game, and race. VR can be less taxing on a system too as it's just one high res display and actually less fps required due to reprojection, compared to 3 big displays (if trying to "compete" with VR). VR is also even easier to setup than triples as you just place a headset on compared to mounting 3 displays. Each to their own, but I just (literally) see VR to be an improvement over any display setup due to the 3D, sense of speed and presence that you'll never get on flatscreen.
@@SosaKinkos If you're going to try and state opinion as if it were fact, then at least state your reasoning so readers have a vague idea behind your comment.
I have a 65" 4K 120Hz TV in my living room, had it since 2020, and I've repurposed it for my newly-assembled aluminum profile rig. Still waiting to get the seat(a Mitsubishi Eclipse one my friends raved about), but the TV is on a separate stand with wheels that can get way up close to my rig and then wheel right back to its original position in less than a minute.
Haven't raced with it so far, but I'll have higher FOV than the 45" 32:9 5210x1440 monitor I was really tempted to get. The superwide was $550, stand was $120. I think I made the right choice, and my 4080 has no problem playing ACC, AC1 or Dirt Rally 2.0 at 4K 120FPS with headroom, so I should be set!
For absolute the same reasons as you mentioned I have a 55” with the same FOV as you have. I wanted to have a wide screen monitor but thought “hey!” I already have a “big” screen and I can make the same widescreen view but with extra screen at the top and on the bottom. And it works so well with the immersion 🏎️🏁
Good vid, simracing is about fun, sometimes we forget its not all about numbers and laptimes.
Depends on the person right? It's okay to use simracing as a study in order to become a real life racing driver, but at the same time it is okay to just have some good old fun, even if that means doing things that are unrealistic.
But I agree that a lot of people take things a little too serious and can use a reminder to chillax and to not forget that they and others got into this to have fun.
As always, great video! Thank you!
As for me, I've been using a 34 in ultra wide for about three years. It's been really fun and emersive. I added IR Tracker as a relatively low cost , and space effective alternative, to triple screens.
I was considering buying a new, full size (55in) TV/monitor, for my rig, but decided to try a quest 3 instead. The Quest 3 has been an amazing and positive upgrade, definitely adding to my sense of realism. With some minor aftermarket upgrades, I have improved mask ventilation and added prescription modded lenses. I'm feeling pretty good with this setup.
To make the larger TV/ monitor work, I 'll need to modify my rig a bit. But still might be worth it for when VR and my body just aren't getting along.
Looks very immersive. I use a 46 inch panel, but I got up and did everything I could to get it as close to my rig as possible after watching this because of how cool yours looked. Need to get a VESA stand.
Have 4K120hz 48 inch Oled tv as my main monitor for last two years and yes, use it for simracing as well. Simply love it and think there is no turning back now.
I went through a similar change from a 21:9 38inch 3840x1600 to 16:9 48 inch 4K LG OLED monitor. Similar findings of increased immersion. I was initially worried the higher screen was just a waste of pixels, but the extra car interior visible now helps to "feel" the car moving around. 138Hz and VRR is enough IMO and the rapid pixel response and OLED blacks are great. I did change away from static overlays etc for burn in reasons and now run a small dash behing the wheel for all the info I need. Overall very happy and wouldnt go back! Keep up the great content.
Nope no mistake. I've been using a 65" for the last 4 years, but my reasons are different, I need to have the TV around 2 metres from me to avoid eyestrain. So I only get the same FOV as a circa 30" monitor mounted on my rig.
I went the reverse, from a 55" to a 49" ultra. For some reason, the 55" so close to my face gave me headaches, so I had it further than optimal. The 49" ultra is much more comfortable, I love it. However I agree about the immersion- getting wrapped up in shaving seconds and upgrading tech we forget to enjoy our hobby sometimes. And AC is the best for that, offering any type of cruising or driving you can enjoy (except maybe crazy offroad), with the amount of mods. So forget what the FOV police or sim racing elites tell you, bottom line is have fun. Your setup looks the bomb btw, for a compact.
30€ for a wall mount that is extensible by 410mm which is enough to cover the distance between wall and wheel base
Just gotta get your height right from the beginning since it wont be heigh-adjustable
I did this a year and a half ago, bought a 55" 120hz tv and I'm happy. Hope to do triples with it soon, so I would have 180º and full immersion ... I believe that on of the great gains is that you see more in the bottom part of the car, you can align the steering wheel with the dashboard, make it fit inside the wheel and the position you drive become much more natural, in small screens you need to put the dash above the wheel and you are always looking to the ceiling ...
Win for TVs, I got a cheap 43" from Walmart, only use it at 60fps, and 1080, but it looks good enough and as no latency issues, so it does the job perfectly in my budget rig.
nice video ! i play iracing and ATS on a 55" i think it works great on those two tittles mainly because of moving FOV and seating position on screen . i get lost for hours driving and seeing the dials on my truck reacting to inputs. my tv sits about a foot behind my DD base
I think that whatever suits you best is a win.
I myself am struggling to decide between single ultra wide, VR headset or triples, I don't have the space for triples, and the ultra wide costs as much as the Quest 3, VR is much more demanding and hardware dependant, but costing the same as an ultra wide, at least it opens up the opportunity to play other titles in VR, while the ultra wide would be way easier to run but it would only be used for sim racing as I have one monitor that I would use for gaming and general use. There's also the issue that I have no idea if I would get motion sick from VR, but if I pay 500 bucks on it, I'll force myself to use it anyway
I just received my csl dd. But already have my cockpit. Before watching this video I wasn't sure witch screen size to get. But like you said couldve gone triples, or ultrawide, but like your own logic and thought process I thought it would be best to do a 120hz gaming TV. So tomorrow I'm picking up a qled 120hz 4k TV. This video made me more sure this is the size I truly want!
I’ve had a 43 on my rig since I first built it 5 years ago, the Playseat Sensation Pro has a built in mount. Running at 4K60 since I drive on Xbox though I’ve used it for work too (also 4K).
For my needs it’s almost perfect, though I do have to tilt it down ever so slightly to get the view I needed.
Another downside is that the bottom middle of the screen is obscured by the wheelbase and my dash, so for games like WRC which have menus down there I need to peer around.
A big plus for console players is that it’s a 16x9 display with the feel of an Ultrawide, as Ultrawide isn’t supported on console hardware.
If I was to do this again I would probably go for a 39 or a 40 (with 120fps or OLED), but I definitely agree with you that it’s a good solution for specific needs.
I live in an apartment with only 1 room, so the tv is the ONLY option for me... :) Of course, my 4 years old Samsung QLED's input lag is bad, and it's only 60Hz in 4K, but ACC looks amazing in 4K on a good tv even with game mode on. And if i turn off game mode for another games (adventure, horror, etc.), they look much-much-much better with a QLED TV's size, brightness and colors, than on 99% of the monitors.
This was a fun watch. I've been racing on my living room oled tv for 4 years now. I'm using the bonnet cam, because it pretty much makes sense for my pov.
I considered moving my rig in another room and maybe buying a monitor for it, but it's just never gonna be worth it. The tv beats any sort of monitor easily, except maybe the super large super high end stuff which I can't afford anyway
Big W. I use a 55 Hisense U7K 4k @144Hz. Absolutely perfect in iRacing for me. I sit 42 inches from the tv. I don't want it close cause I don't want to feel the heat coming off of it. Mount it on the wall and forget it. Hope you enjoy your tv!
I have my 55” OLED 2 inches away from my wheelbase/cockpit and I have the FOV set and it’s amazing
Keeping the resolution at 4K and playing around with DLSS or FSR settings in ACC will give you better image quality than native 1440p
You can also set a custom resolution of eg 3184x1800 to gain 20% performance but loose a bit of immersion
in my opinion just buy a better gpu to run 4k. Getting this setup and then destroying it with bad resolution isnt the smartest thing to do. a 4090 is worth it and should be bought if you got money for simracing in a good rig
@@lazycrate71 A 4090 is not worth it. 2 grand for a gpu is not worth it for anyone who would just be playing on one screen. If you can afford a 4090, you probably can afford a better setup that a single tv.
Gotta push that virtual seat back. Dash and rear view cam are way too big. That will increase how much you can see on the sides too.
Looks like you made a good decision. I'm curious about the 57" G9. I currently use a 43" 4k 144hz flat monitor. Space is tight for a triple set up and I'm considering going ultra wide. My GPU is a Radeon RX 7900 XTX and currently have no FPS issues on iRacing etc but would like more FOV. I cap FPS at 140 and it seems to stay there even on quite high graphics settings, however the 57" G9 would be a lot more pixels......oh and it's over £2k...
I really like how you get so much of the interior as well
Right? With monitors we often loose so much of the interior. Its refreshing to see the car details without having to go for VR
I do the same one month ago and i´s amazing the sense of scale it gives you. Even in my case that is a old 48" 60hz tv i prefer it.
Sure it has its ups and downs, but still a good upgrade imo.
Like the portion hidden behind the wheel. I find even on smaller screens when I do this to get a little annoyed at what I can't see in menus and replays etc, but during the race its actually great as it adds that immersion and doesn't feel like there is just a cutoff point in front of you. Feels more like you are in a cockpit.
So yeah overall a Win I would say.
I have a setup that is very similar to yours and I love it. I do have the space for two more LG C1, but I think I need to upgrade my pc first. In fact, I have a list of upgrades that I would make before buying two more 55 in monitors.
the biggest downside is not having view of the windows. not for traffic - but for seeing corner turn ins and exits earlier. like MUCH earlier.
Contente por estares a melhorar... mas esse cs dd + vale mesmo a pena??? E quanto ao VR para ps5 tambem vale a pena???
Abraço
I use triple 32s and of course I see the excitement in one giant tall screen. I primarily focus on the main screen anyways.
For content creation you did the right thing.
I recently set up my 55 inch LG C1 Oled on my rig and it’s amazing. Should have done it a long time ago. Running at 4K, 120HZ is just so good. The clarity and smoothness is night and day compared to the old LCD 4K 60HZ I was using before. The screen just pops
Plus the night racing is incredible! It's night and day (lol) compared to a VA or IPS panel.
Weird, I feel totally different.
I first had a 55” tv mounted behind the rig like you have now.
Then I switched to an ultrawide monitor, it’s the 57” Samsung odyssey G9 Neo and mounted it directly behind the steering wheel, in front of the wheelbase.
It also has a 1000mm radius, which means its curvature is pretty extreme.
I feel so much more immersed with the monitor that’s very near to my face.
Same here, although mine is the older 49 inch version and the screen is about 40mm from my paddle shifters. Frequently also use TrackIR but with a fairly large deadzone in the center then a quick transition to the passenger side mirror. With the 57 I imagine you see the full passenger A pillar in most cars but not the mirror, is that correct?
About 6 months ago I shopped to upgrade my then 9 year old 42" 1080p 60 hz tv. Considered triples, but I don't always play racing games, and didn't want the hassle of triples. Went with a single 55" 4K 120hz G-Sync capable tv, wasn't cheap, nearly $1200 after Uncle Same took his cut, but my lord what an upgrade. I have the bottom of the tv line of sight just under the wheel deck. Loving it. Found even my RTX 3080 pulls 4K smoothly 60+ fps with top graphics. Definitely not a mistake. Maybe in 10 years VR will have made the leaps, I got a Quest 2 for free, and though decent, it's still very blurry and grainy, but top immersion.
Have you tried using trackIR with this screen? That would be my main motivation for switching to a TV sized screen on my rig. I have a 32 inch ultrawide, which is pretty small in comparison. I love the idea of proper head movement to compensate for not having triples, but 32 isn't big enough for it to feel right.
I’m playing on 55’ inch TV, from the moment I switched to TV I didn’t regret for a second! I don’t know about triple screen setup all depends of the size of your room. Apparently 3x40’ inches will do the job. Enjoy your new purchase! 🍀
You can set up a custom resolution (ultra wide) in NCP and use a big TV as an ultra wide monitor. Tried that with my 65” C1. Works very well.
Scary for OLED
@@AnomieDominegood point, and I must stress I don’t actually use it for that very reason. But on big LCD/LED TV’s it’s an option.
@@aaron0288 Clever idea though. I've been looking at wiring my home theater into my network, might see if I can make that work and what cables work for the distance
@@AnomieDomine is it because of burn-in?
@@TheMash84 yeah, by forcing the black bars you're going to wear on the part showing the game, and the built in auto shift protection will just make it so it has some fade. Maybe using a neutral color instead of black for the bars would limit the difference
Getting old, really hit me. Enjoy the immersive!! BTW, wheelbase blocking the dash is the only downside, but it's critical, getting an extension tube and put the base behind the TV maybe better?
Whats really strange is if you use curved screens for a while , then use flat screens the flat screen looks like its bending the other way LOL , I think you mention it in the video as well.
There is no way I can use a flat screen that big as close as you have it to your rig lol my eyes would explode , i think this sort of setup looks good in videos though.
This reminds me of the good old Gran Turismo back in the day. When the first time we switched from a CRT TV to a flat panel. Everything looks weird, concavely weird.
I have a 75" Hisence gaming tv flat screen and it's like driving in a real car, i have the tv sitting on a 6'wide tv stand in my living room and i have a DIY timber rig on wheels and i just wheel it around in front of the tv and plug it in when I won't to go racing and when I'm finished racing just wheel it to one side to watch normal TV shows, its just Awesome, I'm so happy with my purchase 🙂👍🙏
I just bought the exact same TV (LG 55" 55QNED81SRA) for my Rig which I will be purchasing soon (I need to decide which eco-system I want for my PS5) 🙂 Glad I made the right decision on the TV at least 🙂 Cheers Don, Perth W.Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)🙂
Looks freaking amaaaazing ✌️
I totally agree with you, maybe because I'm getting older too 😂. Truly, I never understood people arguing that "triple 27" is the unique real size choice". Since early 90's with Microprose GP in a Samsung SyncMaster3 I made the entire travel using any kind of monitors and finally feel better using a single 50" tv. For me, If you want more: there is VR, if you want less there is the space limitations.
I use a 65" LG for my experience on a similar wheeled monitor stand as you. It's great. Also use VR too, but big screen TV's are a big W.
@randomcallsign thanks for doing this! I wanted to know what it would be like to go from my 43” down to a 32” or 34” ultrawide right behind the wheel. Any chance you would like to try some kind of shaft extension to be able to to your Ultrawide right behind the wheel rim to see if the immersion is similar or better without loosing visibility of some of the gauges? 😂
Curious to know why aren't triples practical in that room..?
Ive had a 40" Spectre Nebula, sold it. Bought the Samsung G9....returned it (height of a 27") and have landed on a 48" LG Ultragear GQ900B Oled.... I LOVE IT! I'm actually gonna add two 27" monitors in portrait format (size is exact 48 to a 27" when in vert!). I think it will give me what I want...more horizontal view but cutting cost and space. My monitor is 1000 dollars and not trying to buy 2 more lol. I've become a fan of the bigger screens....immersion is so much more like you say too, I agree. The limited option, smaller sizes of all the current UW's. The Samsung ARC is just a lil out of reach in price for me.
For the ACC graphics try cranking sharpening up in the video settings and lower post processing. You can also try the sharpen Nvidia filter. Not saying they will fix it but worth a shot!
What about projector? I have a flat white wall I can use and that would save me the cost of a monitor stand (and a good projector is still cheaper than a 4k TV)
@13:07 is one of the most important parts of this video. The entire video is great, but that part is something we need to continue to remind ourselves about! Thanks for the reminder RC!
Hahah. Glad to see you've finally come around to authentic enjoyment.
PS: Get the other two VDUs. You won't regret them.
can you share the bracket you used to mount to the profile? Cheers !
That is interesting to put the monitor so low. On GT7 you are covering some important info. Or you can turn it all off. I race shifter karts, really close racing. 4 karts where one car fits. ACC it covers some info too. But if it works for you, it works. Nothing wrong with bigger screens. I am running a 13 year old Vizio 47" tv in the middle, with 24" Asus screens for my side monitors. It really works as a triple setup, especially for American Truck Sim. Yeah, I want to move up, but my budget was blown by adding my Fanatec 8 NM GT DD base. I already had the other parts. My PC will not run the newer games on triples worth playing, but for ATS it fits perfect with the old KW W900. I have mirrors and some side windows on the sides and the cab on my main screen. I know people freak out about the size difference, but I don't notice it. It is like the side windows on your car, they are smaller than your windshield. My brain figured it out instantly. If OCD, well, that is your problem.
There's little point seeing a lot of roof liner :)
I had triple 24" 1080p monitors on my rig. Then I changed to triple 43" TVs but those took up WAY too much space. So now I'm using a single 43" 4k HDR flat monitor. Next I'm gonna do triple 32" TVs on the rig. Hopefully these fit the small space better...
LG C3 is a good choice, 120hz and has almost zero input delay. I use the 42inch version for my PC and its been a very good PC monitor for me the past 4 months.
Heck even a used B9. It's what I got and it's just as good for simracing. Don't go any older though, else you lose 120Hz and HDMI 2.1. You'll have display compression and no VRR.
I have 55" oled, on a furniture. Triples would be better for the race, you see more, you can avoid crashes better (especially with iRacing with no radar). But with the big screen its more immersive imo.
Which to get for my first wheel. My options are ( g29 , g923 , Thrustmaster T248 and Thrustmaster t300 rs GT edition) I play on ps5
@6:44 "You will buy Fanatec, whether you know it or not. Muhahaha ha ha *cough*"
yeah just saw that, lol. it was part of the clip ive put at the start and I forgot to delete it from the timeline.,
I would love to get a similar setup screenwise but I'm concerned about input lag.
I've became used to 32" AOC 0,5ms response time. Even on some event rig they had tripple 27" 0,5ms.
I saw the PD49" ultrawide with 0.3ms and became quite interested. I think input lag is the main reason for monitors vs TVs.
I loved using an old 60" led tv for a year but it was only 60hz so this 55 OLED would be a great option outside of a widescreen, the only small thing was the pixel size was more noticeable but not a major issue, I do prefer my triple 32" 1440s
Awesome video! 😊 I agree 💯 about the enjoyment part. I love playing Project Cars 2 more for the scenery sometimes. 🌲🌲🌲🌳
I'm using a 65 inches, 8k, and I love it.
TrackIR, as well.
Great setup, and if you are happy with your choice you need no validation from anyone else but your missus 😂 once we lose enjoyment in anything it's already gone into the realm of sadness if we keep on pushing so have fun and let no-one tell you what you should enjoy and be happy with.
It's a nice setup mate, congrats. As for my opinion on W or L... Well I would never say its an L, but when you mentioned a jump to 53 degrees FOV from 42, it doesn't come close to triples. I've only got 24" triples but not only were they cheap (110 each), i've also got 150-160 FOV. Spending all that money on 10 extra FOV I dunno how to feel about that 😬 I get that space is an issue for you, but you really need to be looking at a kitchen reduction 🤣
big screen immersion bonus: +50HP and a slipstream perk
The only issue with them is the fps and or price for higher fps.s. something like lg.s C1 is vastly superior to my samsung 42inch locked at 60fps but ill take it. Difference in price is also something to take into account - almost twice the price when c1 were new.
Most important is some form of VRR, then at least 90-120hz capable, then good pixel density at viewing distance, after that it is personal preference
Agree, got the samsung g95c and run it 120 hz (240 is possible too) VRR and g sync and with nvidia colors on 10 bit and in new nvidia beta app rtx hdr on for all games. Looks amazing on 1000 nits screen.
@@-racingfan2014 do you do any special settings? How do you connect? I have a ultra wide PC monitor with hdr400 but have been considering hooking it up to my Samsung s95b which is superior in almost every way
@@AnomieDomine your samsung oled like mine non oled has 1000+ nits. Had a hdr400 but even a hdr600 is not that great to be honest. However you could experiment with nvidia color settings and rtx hdr. Should look great on your samsung. For colors on my samsung I prefer original or custom setting to get more lifelike colors. I have adaptive sync on and vrr + nvidia gsync.
@@-racingfan2014 are you using a displayport to HDMI adapter? I thought I was going to be limited by a regular HDMI 2.1 cable
Ok nvm that's amazing, W.
Don't forget to use the BFI mode if the TV has it. Few people knows about this but TVs with a such a display mode have a huge advantage of motion clarity over gaming monitor. Black frame insertion specifically, NOT motion smoothing as that will increase lag and looks terrible anyway, black frame insertion has next to no downsides so use it.
I went for the 49inch ultrawide and I love it
I have the LG 50in OLED, and love it!
Are you running 1440p native? When I was running a 4k display on ACC I set resolution to 4k and then set resolution scale to something like 80%, means UI elements remain sharp and output resolution is crisp, but to be fair I didn't try 1440p native to compare
I'll add I'm thinking of doing something similar, I bought myself a 42" OLED that I use for normal gaming but my sim-rig is on a different floor, I'm moving countries this year so am thinking of building a gaming space with a movable stand for the TV that I can wheel my sim-rig under and out of the way for other games, depends on the house we end up buying as well, and I too have a 34" ultrawide that I currently sim-race with
I would have mounted it a little higher so I could see the gauges better. Also if your rig can't run 4K I highly recommend upgrading. Gaming in 4K is soo nice!
Well when it comes about enjoyment and space saving nothing beats vr. I had triple 27" then triple 32" then I got pico 4 and even with gtx 1080 i fell in love with it and sold my triples.
I play in my theater room on my 120 ‘’ projector at less than 7 feet, for me the sound is the more important and yes the full fov , with a head tracking system is perfect 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I play with my rig facing a 77" LG... and love it!
For years 65inch here, but making the step soon to 77inch, just for gaming and racing on my Playseat Challenge infront of my Tv
I have been using triple 55s. To save space you can mount the side screens using a tripod in a 90 degree format. You'll need a good gpu to keep up with the fps though.
can you correct the perspective of that?
May i ask what FOV settings did you use for ACC?
Dont let age slow you down. I'm 41 and only getting faster. 55" oled Sony tv. Vr when available
Same as here 54 with 55 Sony Bravia OLED and wouldn’t change, well maybe another 2 lol.
I switched from a 34” ultrawide to a 50” 120hz TV and I don’t regret it. For me it is a perfect balance between immersion and competitiveness. If I want more peripheral vision I just increase the FOV a little bit when I’m competing, but the immersion and pleasure of pure driving, never is accomplished with an even bigger ultrawide monitor.
I use a 43” Samsung 4k tv because of playing on PS5, now my working theory(and what I hope to afford soon) is a triple screen setup…… I believe I can use a video wall controller and 3 screens for this, just currently saving up for it.
I have a 48" gigabyte aorus monitor, absolutely love it, problem is I keep my eyes out for some cheap 48" oled tvs to mount on the sides, turns out it's a really odd size for oleds, and the new ones are all more expensive than just buying 2 more of the gigabyte screens lol
Only recently got into PC sim racing (from console), and have orders in for triples & monitor stand (on the way). But I've been using an LG C1 --- FOV sucks on one screen. But boy did I have a hard time finding a suitable display replacement that can match an OLED's picture quality, HDR, and response time. Settled on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7, which as a previous Samsung QLED TV owner, I already know has its problems.😒 But I also still want to play other games like Alan Wake 2, games that are really dark, and I don't want them looking all gray and hard to see in shadows, so I didn't want to go with a cheaper IPS panel, either ...
this is a great option if you are also into flight simulators
Is burn in not an issue?
Also, would it not make more sense to just use the TV like a 49" monitor? The width is virtually identical, so why not ditch the pixels at the top and bottom and just render a letterbox in the middle of the screen that would give you more of the side windows?
Burn in its not an issue.
No, it wouldn't make more sense. Removing top and bottom, would do just that. The eyes fov is still the same and at the end the result sideways is the same, minus the top and bottom pixels and the lack of curvature.
For certain reasons I had to switch to using a 4K Toshiba tv as a monitor for a couple of days. First off it was detected as a Generic pnp monitor by windows in device manager. Secondly the desktop seemed to be to big for the resolution (which was detected correctly as 3840 x 2160 @60hz) I couldn't see the windows start button and the part on the taskbar where you type stuff in the were off screen also I couldn't see the title bar on any program I ran they were also off screen. Next normally the Nvidia control panel would load and put and icon for the control panel in the notification area that didn't happen. Normally I would access the Nvidia control panel or display setting by right clicking on the desktop and selecting the option from the menu, but that didn't work either, what you happen is the desktop would momentarily turn blue and the go back to the desktop no right click menu would show up.
Thankfully I'm back to using a proper monitor now but using the tv was just awful.
I use a 65" 4KUHD TV mounted on the wall but I can pull it away from the wall quite a bit with the mount I used, the main problem with it is the reflections off the screen, not a problem at night with the room lights off but in the day it can be horrendous, that really is my only gripe with it vs. a dedicated monitor that has the anti-reflective screen.
Samsung S95D 2024, will have matt Tv screen. Not my choice, but maybe something for you?
It's great that TVs are finally getting the anti-reflective screens but I'll keep using this until it stops working, it really is the only negative thing about using a huge screen@@giogamer4825
Response times vary greatly from tv to tv. I’ve been using a 65 inch lg model for years which has a response time of 9ms. Which isn’t bad for a tv.
Hi
I am bulding a rig. I didn´t decided yet, if am going do 34" ultrawide or a 42" TV. For immersion do you recomend 42" TV instead of 34"ultrawide?
I cant say whats better for you
for immersion I would say a 42" TV is better, but how well either option works depends on the adjustment possibilities of your rig too. If you do get a TV, just make sure it doesn't have any major drawbacks, e.g. high latency.
I use a 55" LG OLED, so W :)
edit: and yes exactly, I got this for the immersion. for me simracing is all about peak immersion (for which realism is important, but not everything)
How about side mirrors? At least the left side one seems to be missing
Good choice thought about g9 but too short in height I run accc on 75 inches and it’s great but I think 55 as close as u do It’s better
Actual racers don’t use stationary tv mounts or rigs for sim racing, the monitor and rig needs to rotate to simulate actual vehicle moving. VR would be a great alternative instead of a triple monitor setup. Also, I couldn’t imagine looking at a screen that big, that close, fora long time. Holy eye pain.
what is your pc config ? cpu gpu?
Ahh man this video is 2 months too late for me! I bought a 77 not realising the sim would not scale the view, so controls on the dash were too big and with the correct FOV i didn't see my rear view and car door mirror any better. Switched to Quest3, amazing for sims!
a 77 you need to push it back a lot, I think. Theres a point where flat panels are going to hurt perceptions.
What sim?
@@randomcallsign here's to hoping for heavily curved TVs :D (or TV-sized monitors, haha)
Seems way way too low - the general wisdom is to have your eyes level with the centre-line of the display.
As for the display itself - I run a large 16:9 screen and think it works superbly well for sim-racing. My setup is a 60" 100Hz, 4K, HDR TV.
I’m using a 48 LG OLED, I love it.
Do use a 16:9 resolution or a custom one?
@@youngganghis5236 3840 x 2160.
I think the TV is the go, not to mention the dual purpose
I got a 48" OLED off Craigslist for $200 and just set it on a $20 "desk" from amazon. Works great.
Wow, 55" is really looking big in front of the simrig. Would you consider getting smaller TV such as 48" or 55" is the sweet spot?
This size is perfect
@@randomcallsign thanks ❤
@@mattspeed I'm using a 55" too, and I agree. Don't go smaller, and in the future maybe we have curved displays this large so that larger could be an option :)
