Hardware & Technical Monitors for ED

If you could have the (in your opinion) the BEST monitor to play Elite Dangerous on, what would it be and why?

I'm new monitor shopping :)
 
I would take 3 monitors and put them side by side and use Track IR or cheaper equivalent to get nice wide view. I have Delanclip IR and feel two more monitors would help a lot, or one very high and wide monitor. Though this setup would cost more than Oculus Rift.

So I say I would buy Rift :)
 
1. Rift

2. OLED

3. Plasma

you dont get UHD with plasma but its superior than everything else except OLED

I'm running on a LG OLED 55" display and have been very happy with it. OLED blacks are awesome as they turn individual leds completely off. Colours also seem vivid. Limit is the 60hz though so some tradeoff + price is high.

Keen to see how good these large TV scale NVidia screens will be when they come out later this year. 120hz in 55" would be impressive to see.
 
LG 32GK850G-B is likely my next display upgrade.

It's essentially a faster version of the panel in my current BenQ BL3200PT. Both are 1440p 32" VA panels with 3000:1 (actually achievable) static contrast, but the newer panel is 144Hz (overclockable to 165) and supports GSync (which I think is dead-end tech, but until AMD or Intel have high-end GPUs that can go toe to toe with NVIDIA's best, they'll drag it out, and this is probably the singular best GSync display for something like ED).

Ultrawide is nice, but I consider a 34" ultrawide a bit small vertically, and I've never found IPS displays to offer sufficient contrast for ED to really look great...blacks aren't dark enough.
 
Ultrawide can be nice.
Not perfect and oddly there are still a few games that doesn't fully support the wide resolution.
*Bethesda*
It is however glorious for desktop work.

That said I do think I could do with more vertical space so now I would simply recommend getting a large 4k screen.

But I have VR for Elite anyways now.
 
If you want immersion (and can handle it; some cannot) go VR. Yes, the resolution is average to good (and nowhere near that of a 4K monitor), but when I am playing E: D on a monitor I am playing a game. When I am using VR I am flying a starship.

I have a slight diaadvantage in that, when I am driving the SRV I can get motion sickness. This is because my visual 'sense of balance' and my actual 'sense of balance' are in conflict. My eyes say that I am bouncing across the terrain, my inner ears ask "what the hell are you on about?", my brain gets confused and my stomach gets upset. Barring that VR is just too much fun!

Sorry for the late bump and for my English.
This monitor looks really interesting. But it is very large and is one of the few non-curved monitors on the market of this size. Do you think that this aspect of the product is a minus? And in general, what is your opinion about curved gaming monitors?
