Like Taking Off The Blinders | How My 49 Inch 32:9 Super Ultrawide Monitor Enhances My FOV

3 Triple 27's is better imo and way cheaper. But to each their own!

Great video! What GPU are you using? I'm thinking to make the switch from a 21:9 1440p but I'm not sure my GPU will run it well. I have a 2070 super

The linked video is set to 'private'' now. Any input why I should be using 54cm? I'm sitting about 70cm from my 34" and I always find it hard to set the correct fov, feels kinda limited from what the calculators say. Of course, 56cm vs 54cm like your is quite a bit different than 70cm vs 54cm...

Hey whats the filter you are using in Assetto Corsa. It looks really good.

thank you

Waste of money

I think you will go with triples next. Wide wise it takes about the same space, and if put right in the corner the triples are parallel to the walls, so it’s very compact . But you will see the cars on both of your sides. There are lots of situations in racing, especially at start , in which you are in “sandwich “. You have a great monitor though. I am still debating with myself between the ultrawide and triples, only because of the price on the video card. Thank you for sharing 👍

I upgraded from the 49" to the new 57" it's pretty awesome. I did try 32 triples but felt I couldn't use it as a regular PC cause the way Surround works. You dont have any issues with the 57" just feels like one monitor

What game is this

Top notch material. Want to say that several months ago, based on your opinion in this video, I switched from 16:9 and instead of triples picked superultrawide. Couldn't make better decision! Thanks!

57 inch next?

Hi. I really liked your review of the 49 inch monitor, it explained everything about the subject and showed perspective of what changes what. Thanks to this review I myself decided to get a 49 inch monitor and it was one of the better purchases I made .
Now a new 57 inch product from Samsung has been released, or have you thought about switching yet? Surely that would be the next step in taking the plunge.

Great video!

Use smooth tracking with 49" monitor and its chefs kiss. dont "need" triples

I would agree with the benefits on the Ultra Wide - I upgraded about 3 months back and it is a massive benefit.

Good, informative video. Thanks! I recently ordered a 49" (not even here yet), and will definitely try out your suggested FOV settings.

I have an ultrawide 49 inch monitor, it is great, never regretted it.
Brand Agon, it is 5k. Costed me 1200 euro's. So the same as yours!
But you need a fast computer, because your videocard has to work twice hard.

Hi Timo, just watched you video, I’m thinking of this current screen, what are your thoughts 11 months later, still worth it. Cheers

luv my 49

I still waiting curved 65 inch ultra ultra wide 2160p :D

1k for a monitor? buy a VR headset ;) you will NEVER EVER return to a monitor ;) trust me

I currently have triples (3x 1080p 144hz) I'm going with a 21:9 34" 1440p. If I don't like it I'll save for the 49". Triples even at 1080p are a lot on a system. I have a 3080ti and it struggles sometimes. With new games coming and new effects coming to iracing its only going to tax it more. Not to mention I like to play FPS games and my gpu only has 4 ports. I do not want two pc's.

Great video. I got the Samsung 49 inch monitor a couple months ago. It’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made.

Man, nice video. Just what I needed. I'm going to use this settings tonight. Shoutout to Race Beyond Matter. Any special specs regarding iRacing?

I just started doing sim racing and I started with a wheel on my desk with a 27". when I built a rig I bought a 34" and I am quite happy with it. 49" is goals but I dont know if I will ever get that deep into it unless I can find a deal.

Timo , can you show your pitch, just for reference please !!!!

Thanks a lot , just done!!! Flawless 🎉

it has never been cheaper to build a triple 1080 screen setup to get all the driveability benefits you would ever need.. go up in resolution or a 32:9 and its going to enhance the experience, but not necessarily make you faster.
where a 32:9 screen shines is to build a more simple and cleaner setup. and if its a 1440p, it is future proofed for a long time.

Have you tried trackIR 5 with your super ultrawide monitor? I thought it would be a game changer

Very disappointing video. The 32:9 image has been reframed to 4:3 and letterboxed instead of showing a true 32:9 image. On my 49" screen, the image appears as a comically small rectangle in the center of the screen. Why do this on a piece supposedly extolling the virtue of the super ultrawide aspect?

Great Vid! Your English is very good! I just bought the Corsair Xeneon Flex and wanted to know if that or a 32:9 is something I feel like I should be getting and doing research.

then next he is gona get Varjo AERO worlds sharpest VR headset

Excellent video Timo, thank you

Getting my super ultra wide was hands down the biggest jump ive experienced in gaming. It was absolutely mind blowing , and still impresses me when i revisit old favorites to rexperience them all over again

I can never go back to 16:9 monitor now that i've experienced 32:9 aspect ratio.

They look great but you still can’t see right hand mirror on most cars

I also made the same progression but I started on a 27inch 1080p 60hz VA panel before upgrading to a 1440p ips @144hz. That change alone was a game changer. Upgrading to a 34inch 144hz monitor improved my immersion even further but getting the G9 was the end game. I'm interested in the 8k ultrawide G9 model coming out next year as long as it isn't priced out of whack.

Yo this is kickass... I want to switch back from VR, and 3 monitors just doesnt do it for me. But 49 ultrawide.. Ya man.

I'm not sure if 49 inch is the way to go. For the same price I would get a combination of a 34 inch curved ultra wide and a VR headset for shorter fully immersed sessions. I already have issues with the image looking stretched on the left and right side of the screen with a 34 inch ultra wide monitor and it looks a lot worse with the 49 inch.

32:9 is basically our eyes vision

Jadier using 21:9 BenQ 3415R 3440*1440 UWQHD and he use only 56 FOV in ACC. I am using this monitor too and it very versatile.

good video, 32:9 is the best for games

Too bad it doesn't work with Gran Turismo.

I have this exact monitor for iRacing. I love it. Highly recommended.

Why wouldn’t you just buy three monitors? That’s an extra screen and you can do that for under 1000

I always would use tripple setup its usualy the same price as an ultra wide or cheaper moslty cheaper.
and i get much more pro´s than con´s
of course if we only talk about pure sim racing not arcade racing games because the latter often doesn´t support tripples, where true sim´s usualy do and with nvidia the setup process is easy and easy to revert back once you know what youre doing.

Still can't see the mirrors... triples or vr I believe is the way to go

Maybe you see more because it is wider but you still don't see the right mirror, and 3 x 27/9 is still better than 32/9, only the price is better for the 32/9 and that's the 900 Euro for the aoc
