Triple screen users, what are your specs?
« on: September 24, 2019, 07:46:44 AM »
For the triple screen users out there, can you please post your configuration's actual measurements. I'm doing research for a friend.
Width of screen (cm)Distance of screen from eyes (cm)Side monitor angle.

3x32" 2560*1440

Eyepoint 540mm

Screen centre ≈50mm below eyepoint with the monitor bracket angled up to stay centred with my eyes. i.e. I'm looking down slightly

Screen Angles 58°

Screen width 698mm Monitor width 712mm
Screen height 394mm Monitor height 418mm

Bezel 16mm (8mm each side) A little odd as the monitors aren't quite square.

That's an impressive setup.

Over 20 years it went thus:
21" CRT  4/3      1186*864  ended up with three of these but not for gaming
19" LCD  16/10  1440*900  bolted directly on top of my Logitech Momo 35° FOV
32" TV    16/9   1920*1080 cheap arse Kogan, suspect it was only 720P
42" TV    16/9   1920*1080 parents old TV
24" LCD  16/10 1920*1200 last of the 16/10s
24"*3               5760*1200 found two more 16/10s!
27"*3               7680*1440 refurbished Dells, cheap at half the price
32"*3               7680*1440 Dells got too hot, Viewsonic

I have 3x27". Each screen width is 60cm with 4mm bezels each side. I sit 70cm from the screens which is dictated by my monitor stand being fixed to the rig. I calculated correct monitor angle using a online tool for screen size and distance and from memory they're at 45 degrees.

Bezel 16mm (8mm each side) A little odd as the monitors aren't quite square.

I only use curved 27" monitors, but they are at the same distance, 540mm. Monitor width is 617mm and the angle of the side monitors is 60deg. My bezels are 9mm and I overlap the monitors by the width of the bezels. So I only see one bezel either side of the centre screen.
GzeroD, how do you manage avoiding a clash of motor/wheel base housing with U/S centre monitor? I didn't think it was possible to keep 32" screens so close unless you extend you steering column, but even then it must be really close. Vertically my screens are positioned so centre screens is level with my eyes.

Didn't need to extend the steering column, but having an OSW wheel left just enough room between the motor and the steering knuckle/QR. My monitor is sitting on the steering shaft.

Ok, wouldn't have thought you can fit a monitor in between...no way I could do that (using a Q1R). Must be amazing having 3 32" so close  :)
