Is a 34" with 2560 x 1080 screen resolution OK for Prepar3d (P3D)?

Hi,

I want to buy a monitor for P3D. I was thinging about the LG34 UMP67 2560 x 1080 21:9

I am not sure that such screen´size and resolution would be OK for a a nice overall and detail Virtual Cockpit view.

Anybody with some experiences?

Thank you and sorry for the mistakes. I am a french guy...

No problem, your english is fine. 😉
For a cockpit view, an ultrawide would be optimal.
What is your budget, PC specs and what retailer are you buying from?

Hi Chugalug,

My spec will be the following:

I7 4790K
GTX 1060 6Gb
MSI Z97 PC Mate motherboard
SDD Hard Drive 250 GB
8Gb RAM (2133 MHz)
PSU Corsair GS650

My doubt is that with a such big monitor at 2550 x 1980, resolution will be ok? Some people say to have a higher resolution with P3D but I need to save money...

Thank you

Yeah, you probably do want a higher resolution, but with a 1060 you're not going to power a 1440p display well.
2560x1080p should be fine for your purposes.

Ok so 2560x1080p is OK. I will buy the LG34 UM68

It is a good monitor, but it incorporates Freesync technology which you will not be able to take advantage of.

Yes I know... But this keeps the best choice in term of quality price ratio in the market... So it should be ok for FSX and P3d with such resolution, right?

Yep, should be fine.
Enjoy!
