Wowsers!

 

 

32:9 aspect ratio, too wide for flight sim? Click on the image above to go to Samsung product page.

Looks about the same aspect, maybe just a tad wider, as mine when I stitch the two monitors together...sans fat bevel in the middle. Nice.

 

Just checked the specs...3840x1080...same as my two. Looks wider because I have to overlap my monitors in the center to minimize the bezel width...I only see one bezel.

That's a fine looking monitor. Is only 1080p though?

Excuse my ignorance Joe but why is it too wide for Flight Simming? Would it not be better with two or even three, given the money and space?

Might not be ideal because of the 32:9 aspect ratio so you could easily run into scaling issues.  For an ultrawide setup, you'd still be better off with a 21.9 display (which I have) where as with this it might need developer support to take advantage of the full display; otherwise you''d see black bars either side.

 

Shame this is only a 1080P display though, come on Samsung, on a monitor like this I'd expect at least 1440P; but considering it has a 144Hz refresh rate they've gone for speed over image quality here and kept it at 1080p to keep the price down.  However this only supports AMD Freesync, so for those of us on Nvidia cards that play other titles this is a tad useless, especially when running at higher refresh rates as you''ll run into image tearing.
