Hi All

I am currently building a new man cave. I currently have some 2011 27" monitors, actually only dual i did used to have triples but i stopped gaming.

Anyhow I am going to hopefully get back into it so want upgrade the system and monitors. I was wondering if its still worth running triples or if a large say 49" curved monitor is the best thing nowadays.

Racing games
FP
etc are what i would be playing
 
just get a CRG9 and pray to the gods that u get a good screen

the only clear upgrade from that is an OLED TV which has its own host of problems and logistical issues.

Yep have to agree with that ! and look at my signature I have them all / IPS / VA / 43 4K / 34 curve / 49 Curve
 
Yup. If you can afford a 55'' LG OLED and don't mind dealing with 21:9 or 32:9 custom aspect ratios @ 60hz until the 3xxx Nvidia cards come out, then its also a no-brainer as it has Gsync (over freesync with on the CRG9 is not perfect due to some flickering issue at low fps) and has proper HDR support with the infinite contrast ratio.


However drawbacks for the OLED are refresh rate for the 2019 due to HDMI limitations, the sheer size, the lack of a curve, the lower pixel density in 32:9 mode (which for the life of me I couldn't notice as the OLED pixel structure is superior to LCDs) and most importantly the risk of burn in which will require usage changes. For example, I wouldn't think of any productivity work which requires static elements on an OLED. (with the lights off the black bars for custom resolutions dissapear)

The drawbacks of the CRG9 are not native gsync support so you will experience flickering at some point but its not distracting, very very minor BLB, crap HDR, poorer daytime performance, poorer night time performance, 16:9 content will look awful so big compataibility issues, poor contrast and IQ, poor build quality, no built in apps, no remote, etc. etc.

Both are amazing IMO. I thought the CRG9 was incredible until I put the OLED on my desk. I'm not biased as I returned both of them as I got bored of desk gaming.
 
I also have a 55 OLED which is very good for PC gaming but as you have said its the sheer size - it makes my setup look obscene.
