Currently torn as to what to do, I’ve got 3 24” monitors in Surround @ 5760x1080 which is fantastic for my predominant gaming - Racing games, Flight Simulation and BF4 /GTA V - the three monitors are all different, one an AOC the other two Benq, one is LCD the other two are LED.

My issue with my current setup is all three produce slightly but noticeable colour / brightness differences which I can’t eradicate no matter how I adjust the screens so, I was considering changing for three matching identical spec / make monitors to eradicate this but, for the outlay (budget £300-£400) I’m thinking maybe I should consider a 4K screen, I’ve got the GPU horse power to do this (SLI 1070) but really enjoy the extra wide aspect of my current Surround setup in driving and flight sims especially and am a bit wary that I’ll miss the extra width in such games by “dropping down” to the screen width I’d get with 4K,the advantages of course are no gaps / biezels on one screen and a vastly better picture quality...

Alternatively, keep what I have which performs great and in gaming you don’t notice the colour differences- only when using desktop work as such is it really apparent - and go for an Oculus rift which I’m sure will take my driving and flights to a whole new level, much more so than what I currently have but, I read oculus doesn’t utilise SLI....

Really have no idea which way to go...

Thoughts appreciated. :)

EDIT: Can a Mod move this to the upgrade forum please?

I hear what your saying re the triple screens for racing,but, after trying Project cars on my partners new LG 55UJ701V Ultra HD Smart TV and being blow sway by the image quality and finding the screen size (@4k) to be just fine I’m just off out now to pick up the 43” variant of the same TV for my pc setup, it’ll double as a tv / Home cinema setup as well, also, for the price of the 43” (£399) it was way cheaper than similar sized monitors and I lost the tv capability, given I watch films / iplayer on my pc almost as much if not more than I game on it, it makes sense for me.

An oculus (most likely a cheaper DK2) is in the pipeline for the racing / flight sims.
