Whats the best monitor for flight sim?

[Tautvis]

Im wondering if a 1440p 32 inch monitor is a good choice for this flight sim. Im kinda afraid that it might be too big, but maybe for a sim its fine? Also kinda worried about eye strain. Honestly would like to hear other people opinion about this.

I use a 1440p 32” monitor and love it. Unfortunately MSFS2020 caps your frame rate at 60 FPS which I found to be very strange, so I can’t use the 144hz refresh rate. I’m sure this is an easy fix by editing the config file though.

I don’t have one, but those curved high aspect ratio monitors are well known to being great in simulators. I would make sure in either case to have hardware capable of running a playable FPS with either resolution. Also as always check reviews, some monitor models are notoriously bad for back light bleed through, dead pixels, etc.

Hope that helps.

Honestly its so weird to get use to it from the 19 inches jump to 32 lol. And im sitting so close to my monitor but maybe its a good thing to utilize for simulator. Although it uses like 2x more graphic card resourses lol.

27" max @ 1440p, 4k for anything larger. 1080p for anything smaller... General rule of thumb.

32" @ 1440p and you will see pixels as you have a whole 32" to spread out 2,073,600 pixels.

I recommend a 3440x1440 ultrawide. Much better purchase than 4k and less taxing. You'll still need a high end graphics card though to make full use of it.

Use a 43" for 1080p and love it. Does the job for a 1070. The 32" 144p sits to one side as the second monitor.

Yep, second that. Get yourself a 34 inch ultrawide. They are very affordable now also. I use an acer predator x34 3440 x 1440p with a gtx 1080ti.
If your gpu is lower, get yourself the 1080p ultrwide in 34inch. A gtx 1070 should run that resolution fine.
I have had both resolution ultrawides, and to be honest, the difference between 1440p and 1080p is a bit overated. I would wather have a 1080p ultrawide than a 32inch 2k monitor.
