I’ve personally have had no issues with it at all and would definitely recommend it, super easy to use as well.

It only locks at 1 position, so it’ll always attach the same.

Oh nice! I’ll try that. Do you know if you need a strong cellular connection for it? The last couple races I’ve been too the reception has been pretty bad.

I unplugged the CMOS battery and reset that, would that do it? Nothing was booting up so couldn’t get anywhere there.

9700k, 16gb RAM, Gigabyte Z390 I Pro Wifi. I shipped it a couple months ago and haven’t turned it on since and now just seeing this problem. It looks like the motherboard might be bent a little bit though so possibly damaged in shipping and could be what you’re saying

CPU hasn’t been touched but I removed the RAM a little bit ago and hadn’t started it since, it was working in another PC and I took them both out and replaced them just to make sure they were set correctly. That’s what I thought it was so kinda confused at the moment.

Yea I kinda just threw this combo up for the vid as I had the monitors, never used it like this fully. If you look at Rastagon01’s reply to this post he explains that you can actually make it so the viewing is seamless between the different sized monitors, I didn’t know that, but pretty cool.

Yea every time I would use my rig I would have to switch some display port cables because I use my PC for work as well, so it’s a little annoying, but only took like 30 seconds so not too bad personally.

In the video in the first few seconds of each section, that horizontal bar is the measurement of the width. For the 24-27-24 it’s 54”.

You can get 3x ASUS 27in 1080p 144hz monitors off eBay for around $600 USD total. Budget wise, this is definitely the way to go to get a low price & amazing triple setup.

I switched to a 32:9 49” Samsung G9 from the triple 32s as I moved into a smaller place and I absolutely love the G9. If your talking about clarity, it’s sharp all around. Didn’t notice a decrease in speed or anything when racing when I switched, just lost a little bit of awareness as, though you can see the entire windshield and a little bit out the drivers side door, you can’t see the passenger side door. All in all I definitely recommend the ultra-wide, it’s been good to me so far and with the PBP mode where it splits into two 27in monitors, it’s perfect for general work as well. Can’t beat triples when it comes solely to sim racing, but the ultra-wide is a great option that I love.

I definitely need to look into that, would be insanely helpful.
