On several occasions, we have written articles about the importance of having good pedals in our cockpit, the significance of a solid base that transmits the sensations the car goes through with extremely low latency, but we have never discussed the visual aspect. A crucial point that should not be underestimated.

In today's article, we will compile some monitors that we consider the best for SimRacing and, possibly, could give us those extra tenths. We'll address some questions.

While it remains an opinion article, we hope to assist you with our recommendations.

One screen, Ultrawide, or 3 screens?

Indeed, it's a personal preference. You can ask different people, and each will have a different opinion, but in this case, let's see what is most efficient.

A triple screen setup adds a level of immersion that won't be found otherwise (excluding virtual reality) since we'll have a peripheral vision of the monitors and feel immersed in the vehicle. However, on the other hand, it requires a higher investment and competent hardware to support three monitors at high resolutions and refresh rates.

However, an ultrawide monitor could provide us with something similar, being a single monitor and saving those resources to dedicate them entirely to the simulator. That's why I think it's the best option.

Finally, a single screen allows us to have all the information close, although losing that field of vision that benefits us when getting into the car.

Below, we provide a compilation of monitors, along with their specifications and purchase links.
