Big TV or multiple monitors
- Thread starter dodgyboy
- Start date
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they've ever confirmed multiple monitor support. The last quote I remember (2/9/2013) was uncertain -
Anyway, go for an Oculus Rift (if an HD version comes out soon enough)!

OR
I like the sound of the OR, but I'd need to have a try before commiting.
I think I'd get motion sickness or worse
And since the game will be with me in Dec... OR will have to be a present for another day

An Alpha backer hey ?! Welcome .. and therefore, as Jabokai just mentioned multiple monitors may not be supported so 46" it should be ... lucky man
Like others on here, I'd like to try OR before buying one. Given your options above, I would go for a central 46" LED/LCD TV with two smaller monitors on either side...
Then you have both
Or every 6 months or so add another 46" TV ... imagine 3 of them, side by side
Or every 6 months or so add another 46" TV ... imagine 3 of them, side by side
Why stop at three...

Now thats an interesting idea.... Ignoring the cost issues of course.
I was going to go for the big TV and a PC. But with Oculus Rift in the mix, I'm thinking, make do with what I've got until the Rift comes out and then just buy a hi-spec laptop.
I can probably get the Rift and a Laptop for what a decent TV would cost

Monitors, since a TV (unless you're going to really splash out on a 4k) has terrible resolution at only 1080p.
If FD do it right (no reason to suggest they won't) then the big beast would be used for the Primary view and console view and then a pair of monitors either side for other bits and pieces and perhaps side views?
Sure, but you still get less on screen on a 1920x1080 screen compared to a 2560x1440 monitor. The primary and console is still going to show you less information (albeit larger) on a 46" TV compared to a 27" or 30" monitor.
And a video projector on a movie screen ?
There's two ways of using multiple monitors.
Either as independent monitors which would require Elite to support opening new views and assigning them or dragging them to additional monitors; this seems less likely at first.
Then there's configuring multiple monitors as a single display, Nvidia Surround or AMD Eyefinity, which would be seen by the game as a single high resolution monitor; 5760 x 1080 for example.
It would be very strange if Elite did not support the Surround/Eyefinity mode thereby giving those that have such a setup a wider field of view. There are also Ultra-Wide monitors, 2560 x 1080 which some may have.

Well come the Alpha in December I will be testing out Nvidia surround screen support.
Or the lack of it
