I’ve the Samsung G7 32, but it’s a gaming monitor 240 Herts, so I don’t think its ment for <60 fps games. For the best resolution, I would got with the Dell

I highly recommend a 21:9 monitor. Especially for flight simulators, and MSFS prime for its graphics. Field of view is so much wider.

16:9 is from the stone age. I do have a backup computer with a 16:9 monitor and it is so weird when I have to work on it. As if I had blinders on. I go back to my 21:9 and it is like stretching my legs. And it works great for work, the reason why I bought it.

From my 21:9 monitor (2560X1080p IPS) I would only go to a 34" ultrawide or VR.

While keeping in mind none of those aspect ratios other than 16:9 are actually supported by MSFS at this time.

Not sure what you mean; I fly at 21:9 all the time.

And the image is just 16:9 stretched out.

Trust me, it becomes far more obvious at 48:9

That’s simply untrue.

Fine post your load screen with the man walking through the hangar.

I don’t have the main screen handy at the moment but here’s some random screenshots:

If you for some reason think those are stretched from 16:9 I can post more with dialog boxes in them, but I’d have to start the sim back up and that takes a while. There’s no reason for me to need to convince you of something you can trivially verify by looking at other peoples’ screenshots and video recordings on the net.

I do have a 21:9 monitor and it works like a charm. In fact it is amazing. Maybe you are talking about another simulator?

One important aspect is not correctly displayed, they get most of it pretty good but can you see the important difference? They all seem like the same screen shot, only manipulation is cropping.

Oops, should mention, not the clouds or traffic, took screen in real time, sorry my bad.

Same issue here.

They could at least marque the splash screen to make ultrawide/multimonitor people included :frowning:

As is a flight sim that only supports ONE monitor. :wink:

One more reason to get a higher FOV :laughing:

A while ago I did a print regarding aspect ratio. Top one is 16:9, bottom one is 21:9. The field of view is much wider on the bottom.

This print below would be comparable with a 27" 1440p monitor 16:9 (top) sided with a 22" 1080p monitor 21:9 (bottom). A 34" ultrawide would be in between the two in hight, just way wider.

LOL which is yours? BTW they are at half size, too big for the forum

wrong guy quoted.

Where are you to defend the giant lights?

Nice print, do you even have a working copy, show us your stuff.

Are you specifically referring to the size/brightness of the lights? I’ve experienced no problems at 3440x1440. If they are more problematic at extreme resolutions that’s interesting to know, but not really relevant to the original poster’s question about 21:9 sets.
