In sim racing, triple monitors definitely come in handy as it provides a wider view of the track at the same time.
This proves to be quite useful when setting a flying lap during qualifying, or in the first lap of a race when trying to drive around while avoiding any possible collisions head on.
What’s the best way to connecting triple screen monitors?
The best way to connect three monitors is through an active DisplayPort hub which will act as the main server for the three monitors.
- The first step is plugging in the DisplayPort output from your gaming PC into an active DisplayPort input on the hub.
- Now connect three display monitors having HDMI inputs into the two output ports of that hub and then plug the monitors into the power outlet before switching on the system.
- Once it’s powered on, just choose display configuration as per preferences in the game, and you’re done! Sim racing on a triple monitor setup is now possible!
An alternative is using HDMI cable but it is usually limited to only connecting two screens at the same time.
As a matter of fact I think that the DisplayPort connection is better because it supports more than 2 monitors and gives a much clearer picture quality.
If you are going to any of the three displays on your devices, make sure that the gaming PC’s output is set to a minimum resolution of 1920×1080 to get the best results on all the 3 monitors available.
This being said, not all games allow to use graphics settings with such resolution so that is something that you need to see before all these troubles with the hardware and the software!
An additional adjustment to the first monitor position can be done by adjusting the third monitor’s position which can help maximize the usage of all the monitors.
Wrap up:
The use of triple monitor systems is aimed to enhance the scope of the race view thus allowing the driver to look further extending the car’s sides.
There may also be a few cases where sighting some events in the race may be possible before you are there as compared to when using just one or two displays.
This is most highly recommended for online sim racing where the chances of collisions are higher due to the close distance of the cars on the racetrack.
As a reminder, there are several other procedures to set the displays for the ‘racing mode’ while in tripled display settings:
-Active DisplayPort hub;
-HDMi cable with 2 supported displays.
Either way, ensure that your gaming PC is set to produce images of 1920×1080 resolutions or higher to prevent any loss of the quality of the visuals across any other monitors.
Also, why not consider buying a triple monitor stand for yourself so that every screen is utilized to its fullest capacity!
