I use a 40" Samsung for my cockpit. My monitor stand can do three screens but I decided on just the one.

Right now mine is set up for flight sims but I have a wheel and pedal set as well.

I also have two buttkickers mounted bellow the seat on the right and left side. Works awesome in driving sims.

Nice! Thanks for the picture of your setup. 40" actually looks like it would be a good size - large without being obscenely huge.

Is your TV 1080p? If so do you find that it isn't as sharp as you would like?

I can't fit 3X 40" screens (at least not where I am atm) but I can always add another 2 down the track when I have room and the money.

I see you have a Sidewinder X8 mouse and Sony XB700 headphones, excellent choice haha I also have those (at least in the background anyway).

It's a Samsung LED LCD and does 1080p. The 40" screen I find to be perfect. Not too big but seems about just right. It replaced a 37" screen. It's picture is very sharp. I use a Logitech K800 wireless kb with lighted keys. The X8 is a great mouse. But not my fav. I switch between it and a G600. The XB700's get a lot of use for anything where I want the really deep base. car engines and shit sound great. The rest of the time I use either my Grado 325 or Audeze LCD-2 cans. But when you want to hear the rumble of a big V8 nothing beats the XB700!


The picture I posted isn't very sharp. It's actually not a very good picture at all. The screen in person looks very crisp.
