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 😊
@@NoHacksTSR Makes sense to have it sitting low, as this area is just part of your in-car cockpit and real-estate you don't really need in your peripheral vision.
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?
Yes, but aren't you essentially going back a step from true 4K 2160 to 1440?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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
Curious to know why aren't triples practical in that room..?
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.
But won’t that then mean his view will be too far away? The dashboard in game looks the right size, right?
@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!
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.
@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.,
Still use triple BenQ XR3501 with 180 degrees AoV. Not the highest resolution, but man those screens are good for simracing. Color accurate and high refresh rate. But I see the advantages of one huge OLED screen.
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.
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
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.
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)
How is it to your eyes? Sitting so close to a big screen have to be realy harsh on your sight.
yeah
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!
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...
55" Lg oled 4k 120hz on tv arm so i can bring its real close when needed running of a 3080ti. 🎉 Never looked back
I feel like a 49" or especially a 57" 32:9 would be way better. You have the massive curve, and much higher pixels per inch.
Scale is not the same
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.
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?
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.
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...
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
Hahah. Glad to see you've finally come around to authentic enjoyment.
PS: Get the other two VDUs. You won't regret them.
what map was this in the rain u was driving on ?
Which to get for my first wheel. My options are ( g29 , g923 , Thrustmaster T248 and Thrustmaster t300 rs GT edition) I play on ps5
Have you ever thought of trying VR? Your POV is never going to be as wide as looking at let's say triples, however since you aren't using triples, VR might be a fine way to get even more immersed without taking any space up. Downside is I don't know if every racing game can be ran in VR.
I've used vr before for years. I don't like vr.
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.
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
Awesome video! 😊 I agree 💯 about the enjoyment part. I love playing Project Cars 2 more for the scenery sometimes. 🌲🌲🌲🌳
I use a TCL 49 inch 4k tv, 60hz bought for $240. I love it, except I wish it was 120hz. I mostly use VR. If it ever breaks, I'm replacing it with a 120hz.
half the screen occupied by your DD can you put the screen on the top of your dd
i think there was something going on with JSON in OBS... lol
Jason messed me up mang
4K TVs are still a better option as monitors still don't provide true 4K are that size. Even the Samsung G9s aren't 4K yet!
My living room has a 75' on an adjustable table with caster wheels
I wheel it over from infront of the couch over to infront of rig and is perfect until i get triples
I have the LG 50in OLED, and love it!
cant you fix the 1440p problem, by making the tv run in 3840x1440p and run native 1440p? you would lose some vertical sure, but gain fps.
Use a 55 inch oled and its fantastic (120hz, no lag)
Big screens are great for sim racing. Putting wheels on the rig to be able to switch between triple monitors and my large monitor setups in a flash was game changing
Asking from ignorance, don't you have to 'calibrate' your triple screen setup every time you move it?
@@iseslc No windows does an excellent job of saving your monitor layout when switching as long as you have it selected to do so. Just change which monitor is the main monitor and you can switch back and forth with ease!
@@iseslc When it comes to in game like iRacing you do have to reconfigure your graphics but I play iRacing, RF2, and le mans Ult exclusively on triples so I don't have to change the settings. Then when I want to play other titles that don't have native triple support like F1, Forza, Dirt etc. I roll my rig over to my big tv setup
@@cdeppracing216 Sounds awesome
I still need to put my wheels on my rig... it's currently too low in comparison to my TV, plus it makes it easier to pull in front of the TV (and back into the corner when I'm done)
I got a 65'' 144hz OLED TV with 1000 Nits (S90C). You can get a 32 inch OLED with worse specs for around the same price. In AC with Pure you can turn on HDR and it's just ridiculous.
I had a 48 oled and i didnt like it at all. i prefer smaller curved ultrawide. Its a personal thing but if u like it then well done :)
Now compare this with VR please.
I race in my living room on PS5 using a Hisense 50" 4K TV. No idea how people use smaller monitors/TVs. You're sat ridiculously close though Jesus 😮
If this purchase works for you, it's a W, no matter what other peoples' opinions are. I too am getting old. For my sim rig, my gaming monitor of choice is: LG Ultragear ultrawide 45" (21:9 aspect ratio) OLED 800R 240Hz | 0.03ms response time and a resolution of 3440 x 1440. While not as immersive as say a triple monitor setup or VR, the screen is close enough to me that it feels immersive enough. I first saw the review of this monitor over at Will Ford's Boosted Media channel and took to heart his opinion on it (which was pretty positive). I agree... I'm happy with mine.
This is literally what I do using a Samsung QN90 QLED it's a beast all the goods packed in it VRR HDR all the gaming mode stuff and 120fps
Looks freaking amaaaazing ✌️
The G9 ultra wide has an width of 115cm and this 55 inch is 123cm so this tv has more or same FOV compared to the ultra wide samsung. YES it had different aspect ratio but this its the same width so you just missing out on all the screen that is above and below it would be on this tv. All i am trying to say, so many people think ultra wides have higher fov but this is not true. Its all about the width that can make ur fov higher. Upper and lower is just an extra you get (and cost more pixels). If i am wrong please explain.
you can get a UW really close to the steering wheel. that means, comparitevely, a ultrawide monitor has more fov per inch than a TV.
Though, the TV, because of the size and distance to the eyes, will feel more lifelike.
@@randomcallsign good point ur 100% right my bad!
I use an old 1080p60hz tv for sim racing and ive recently been thinking of upgrading it ...then you drop this vid ...what spec tv did you go for???😊
specs and model at the firs 20seconds of vid
LG QNED81
@@randomcallsign thanks... Not sure how I missed that bit
@@disavowedjohny5758 If you can find a used OLED that could be great too. LG B9/C9, B1/C1, B2/C2, B3/C3. Though note that the B9 and C9 are only recommended If you're on RTX 3000/RX 6000/Arc or newer, as older GPUs can't make full use of its features. Night/sunset/sunrise is incredible on an OLED.
odyssey ark is curved 55 inch tv
it's very close for your eyes😨
I like dash too
Get another 2, you can make room. 😉😉
We don't live forever
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.
Love my 55” so win from me!
What tv is it ?
First 20 seconds
triples better than anything for the feeling of speed and immersion.
I know. I look at it as options, but, needed more hardware. couldnt justify it.
Each to their own, but VR actually helps massively with both those elements, arguably way more than triples ever could.
@@LargeStyle some are vr sick and sorry but i'd like to keep my eyes for a couple more years and feel some fresh air on my face
@@LargeStyle You are right! Each to their own. Triple 55 " will be perfect for me I believe. However, I don't have the space for that. Currently racing on a triple 27 1440p 144hz or single 65 inch 4K 60hz. VR is good but I got motion sickness after a while with the Quest 2. I have zero problem with racing games on 60 fps. VR at 90hz is a different story. I can't wait until the day we will have a proper VR headset that is small, compact, light, ultra high res and does 240hz! 🙂
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.
Ultrawide 21:9 displays are a bit of a rip-off as you're paying a lot more money for less viewing size when compared to financial equivalent 16:9 displays. As TVs now support 120Hz & VRR then there's becoming less reason to have a dedicated PC monitor. I had a 65" 4K TV 140cm from my eyes which was great, then went to a 43" 4K TV 70cm away which was even better (wider FOV). I personally way prefer VR now, but if you can't do that then a relatively big TV is the next best option.
i couldnt stress this much as the seat comfort to my clients that monitor has to have a certain distance based on the views they choose. then you get this dude thecardoctor showing off niche gear but the monitor are in the Sahara desert misleading sim community with his over enthusiastic content and then seeing the how in been setup blows my mind. its just bs how there SOOO many sim content with misleading info because their wanna jump the hype train of the sim industry. as my gent RC knows exactly what best BRO. reasoning being i constantly have to debate with my clients what's best for the pocket and for the experience. everything boils down to personal feel
Big screen is fine, if it were moved back some, IMHO way to close to screen.
Having the screen closer allows you to get closer to a "correct" FOV without compromising your view too much.
That screen is so large moving it back 2 ft would be no compromise to FOV@@Daz555Daz
This is not a monitor, it is a tv designed to be viewed at a distance. It will fry your corneas in a couple of years.
It won't. Doesn't work like that.
@@randomcallsign pray4u
did your parents ever tell you don't sit so close to the TV it's bad for your eyes.
yes. my parents were boomers and the tvs were CRTs. the TV is further away than the distance to the display you wrote that comment on. 😵💫
That's funny.

Unsuscribed.

As someone who puts out so much fanatec content maybe you could make a video on how absolutely awful they are right now and that no one should be buying from them until they get their customer service, shipping, and QC under control...maybe if a big youtuber like yourself says something about it instead of selling fanatec to people unaware of the issues...fanatec MIGHT fix their issues sometime soon
ive done 4 videos of those already.
I just changed my LG C2 42 for a LG Ultragear 49 inches, that I paid 1000 CAD. There's absolutely no comparison between the two for sim racing. I can't even imgine going back to a TV for sim racing. I see that you play GT7 too and the PS5 doesn't support ultrawide screens, but for all the other sims, you're just waisting an infinite amount of enjoyment because of your choice. This was a giant huge waist of money, since you clearly has pedals and a wheel that aren't made to play only GT7.
What? Beside missing the entire point of the video, How would it be a waste of money if he would need 16x9 display?
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.
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.
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.
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
@drewwatson6980 Look on Market place for used 4090s. Much less than $2k.
@@lazycrate71I thought sim racing used more CPU power more than GPU?
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 🏎️🏁
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 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!
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
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
You don't seem to have a million buttons etc so if goal is immersion VR is the way unless you have some specific reason not to do that.
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.
FoV Police incoming, TV is awsome for simracing, as long as you dont use FoV Calculators it can be very good.
I run a 60" TV for sim racing and also use a FOV calculator for a "correct" FOV - works very well.
I have the samsung qn90c 50'' that looks amazing but can't have it that close to my face , which causes my eyes to be irritated. But thats me!
this is a good 30cm further back than the ultrawide was
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)
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?
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
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.
can you share the bracket you used to mount to the profile? Cheers !
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.
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 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 ...
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.
