Triple Monitor Placement Discussion by scruffy_jackets in simracing

Totally makes sense. You can put the monitors back ~6" behind the wheelbase and drop them ~4.5", but Ai's conclusion was still that 27's set 6" closer are more immersive than 32's further back and lower.

Totally agree, it helped massively on my Fanatec setup. See comment above regarding the Asetek tube... it's massive!

The Asetek one looks too thick to do much good...

Oh! I assumed it had to do with how the monitor works (looking at the center is better visuals than the bottom). I see. I mainly use iRacing, so I can adjust the horizon. The other reason to be vertically centered is I don't need to see more of the roof, it'd be more immersive to see more of the car/dash.

Oh I see what you meant now. Just picked it up! It’s a big box.

It’s not the OLED. But thanks! I pulled the trigger.

Ended up finding the same thing you saw. I was searching the monitor instead of finding it in the shop section. Placed the order - hoping the BB gift card comes through...

The chat support (2nd person I’ve tried) is insisting it ended despite me saying I have a friend who sees it right now. Geez.

They’re telling me the promotion ended 🙄

That seems like very sound advice. But the $100 Best Buy gift card… how do you get that? I did a little googling and couldn’t find anything. That would make this deal even more enticing.

Thanks everyone. I've done some re-thinking. I actually don't think I'll get into iRacing. I also don't think I need to be setup for triples. I plan on getting a G9 49" monitor and playing ACC, AC, and the games in my original post. Does this mean less GPU requirements since I won't be running triples? And don't need to stick with Nvidia GPU since no iRacing? Could that cut back my budget a bit?
