Yep this video is definitely the best when it comes to triple monitor adjustments. And absolutely correct that you shouldn't tighten them all the way, they'll never line up like that. In fact one of my monitors is barely tightened at all

#1 thing to make sure before doing anything is make sure the brace that holds the monitors is level. If it isn’t the side monitors will have a huge gap at the top. Also use black electrical tape to pull them together perfectly and seal the seam so no light gets through. This will save you hours of frustration

Great guide! I've a tripple setup with 27" Monitors, because the difference to a 32" setup in the peripheral view is not that large. A 27" setup is smaller and cheaper (monitor's and GPU). During assembling I struggled a lot finding the right distance of the angled side arms. The angle itself is not a problem, but the distance from the joint to the center of the middle screen was a lot of fiddling. Do you have a hint for finding the right distance?
@michaelmcdonald76162 жыл бұрын
The back of my monitors do not allow the mounts to be rotated and leaves a huge gap at the top. The vesa plate gets inserted into the back of the Acer monitors using the outer slots. I had to order some mounts from amazon to take the gaps out of the rig. Acer 27" XF270H monitors leave a big gap on the top. Mounts I ordered are "VideoSecu ML411B Adjustable Tilt Swivel Rotation TV Wall Mount Bracket". Had to drill out the bolt holes on the amazon mount and only could use one bolt/T-slot, then placed a bolt on each side of the lower mount not secured by a bolt/T-slot to prevent it from rotating. Have them lined up great now. The mounts that come with the rig do not swivel for the 27" Acer flat screen gaming monitors. I can send a pic if you like.

We have tried motion with integrated monitors and also freestanding and would *highly* recommend going with a freestanding monitor mount. It's better for your gear (motion can break the monitors) but the bigger deal is how your eyes / brain sync up the motion cues. For whatever reason its *much* better if the monitors are not moving. Contact us directly to order a freestanding unit. We have them in stock and adding them to our site soon.

The monitors in this video are the 32" G5 Odyssey 1000R Curved Screen. We've since swapped out the middle monitor for a 32" G5 flat screen. We find that it gives a more immersive feel over a curved center screen. The angle of the side monitors largely depends on personal preference for Field-of-View (FOV) settings.

@@RacingCockpits I saw that in the vid! Unfortunately I don't actually have a Racing Cockpit rig, those protractor guides look so useful though! I was watching because there's maybe 2 videos I could find on YT that featured triple curved monitors! Love those vesa mounts too. I used an FOV calc that showed the angle to utilize which allowed me to position the side monitor arms at the correct angle, but then my vesa mounts have the ability to also turn, so the angle is likely a lot tighter than what is recommended by the FOV calculator. That's also why I like your Vesa Mounts - It looks like they will always be flat up against the main support rail, so the angle the bar becomes the angle of the sides to the front. No need for a video on my regard. You guys look like you have AWESOME products!

What distance do you have to the screen? You need to be 90cm from if you have 32 inches and 1440p to cope with 57ppd which is the retina lag. Ideally, you want 60ppd or more. But you sit closer to a 90cm? maybe 75cm? How do you experience this? pixelated or something?
@RacingCockpits Жыл бұрын
No pixelation with this setup at all. We've had hundred's of people test drive ours and build their own and nobody has ever mentioned it. Do you have a calculator you're using that you could link? We're curious to learn more and see where the calculation may need to be modified.
Distance and PPD target Can you change my link there. You also see explanations of what limit different PPD.57 you want to pass and 1440p screens require you to sit at least 90 cm from if it is 32 inches. 4k screen on 32 inches, you can sit as close as 60cm and still manage PPD of 57, which is the apple retina mini requirement. Or do you think I'm wrong? I'm going to build a rig here this year and I'm going to have 32 inches and have it around 60-76cm from where I got it. But 32 inch 4k screen with G-Sync Compatible is too expensive for me. 1440p 32 with G-Sync Compatible is under half the price and I can afford that. But it seems to be too bad unfortunately.-
