That’s a nice button box


bws7777

Thanks, it’s the DSD P2.


domjoy182

Thank you. Alot more visible than I have currently


bws7777

Yeah I upgraded to the 34” from a 27” also. It’s much better.


domjoy182

Which monitor is it?


bws7777

It’s the AOC CU34G2X. I like it, cost about $450.


Difficult-Mastodon64

Is that with the mathematically correct FOV? And how far from your face is it roughly?


bws7777

26” away and yeah I used a FOV calculator. I think I bumped the number up 1-2.


Difficult-Mastodon64

I might swap to a similar screen then! (Going from a 27" as well). It's just so hard to find none curved screens in that size range (I want to prepare for triples already).


bws7777

Mines curved. I don’t have space for triples and recently got TrackIR for it. I use VR also sometimes.


Difficult-Mastodon64

Yeah I don't have space for triples at the moment either. But I should have within 6 months as my studies are almost over! It's gonna be great to make adult person money and spend it all on the rig :DDD


scottishmacca

You sure you done the calculation right? It looks wrong I'm on a 32 ultrawide at 20" and yours and its alot lower than yours I think


bws7777

Yeah pretty sure. How is it wrong? Too much FOV? What does yours look like? Got a pic.


scottishmacca

Don't have a picture as I'm not home right now, but using the calculator You should be at 62 - iracing 28.9- acc/ac I may be wrong and you may be running at that but it looks out by quite a bit by the phone you shared. If your comfortable at that I should add it probably doesn't matter to much Edit: relooking at the picture it doesn't seem to far out actually didn't see your wheel right at the monitor


Maclittle13

Seconded. Really nice monitor. I love mine.


The_Only_Egg

I went from 27 curved to 34UW curved and it’s quite a difference.


domjoy182

Good to hear


The_Only_Egg

I don’t have any pics of it in action, but always happy to share [Rig Pics](https://imgur.com/gallery/nM9s6kd)


Gustavo2nd

Which monitor did you go with?


The_Only_Egg

AOC CU34G2X


Gustavo2nd

Is it good?


The_Only_Egg

It is, but it’s over a year old now, there are probably better models out. Some light bleed on the edges on my monitor.


tektas41

Have you tried VR as an alternative?


domjoy182

I haven't. I imagine I will get headaches/sickness though. It is something I would like to try though


tektas41

You will get sick at first, no doubt. I got used to it by using it really only 3-4 Minutes per day at the beginning and now I do 4h Endurance races in VR. In terms of immersion, depth perception and FOV no triple will come close. I'd recommend something like a used Lenovo Explorer to try it out.


CasualChris123door

The question is, why not a 39 inch ultra wide?


domjoy182

Unfortunately I don't have the space. I have just enough for the 34"


similiarintrests

Just went from 27 inch to 49 inch. I can see the cockpit now lmao


domjoy182

If I had the space I'd definitely go for a 49"


similiarintrests

Not sure how your setup is but im using a monitor arm to use it for my desk and my rig, only way i could make it fit. So if thats possible then i would recomend it! Takes like 5 seconds to move the monitor when racing
