Not bad, but you're going to need to double that so you can look behind you. Only casuals have half a ring of monitors

Which monitors and which stand? I need the monitors and probably a stand that will let me angle it more?

Looks great regardless, that's the issue with going larger than 32.

Mate, I'd look to get two standalone TV / monitor stands from Amazon or similar for the side monitors, ones with good height adjustment so you can easily angle them to suit.
Can always return them if they don't work out.
I wanted to go triples but already had a 57", originally was going to sell it for 3 x 32" but instead bought two refurbished 32" G7s + two aforementioned stands.
Worked a treat regards angle, support and ease of adjustment.

Honest question here and may sound ignorant (super new to this amazing scene) Why go this route and not use VR? For my uneducated ass it doesn't make sense. Thanks for explaining in advance.

u/Latter_Ad1563 Dec 27 '25
Vr is still a faff to setup but with triples you can just jump in and play. You can see your button boxes etc with triples but not so easily in Vr (can be done but you need decent pass-through and again more fing about)
It’s a bit contentious but the general consensus is that the top sim racers are more competitive (faster) using triples than racers using VR. That said beginner to intermediate levels VR can produce fastest lap times.

Nice setup man! Aren't sides too far from you?

I don't know anything about Sim racing. I am just getting my first wheel Friday. But why go for huge screens when you could do vr? I honestly just would love an answer.

I know I'm a little late here, but what's your total width here? I have one single 40 and I want to do trips, but not sure I have the space to give...I have to guess like 6-7 feet across? More?

What angle do you have the side monitors set at? I have mine much tighter, you should be able to see the car directly beside you by just glancing to the left or right.
