Projector vs Triple monitor setup, which is better?

[RV8G30]

I'm debating between 3 24 to 27" monitors, or a decent projector. I figure ill be around $800 with the monitors. Or I can get a projector for that much. Which would be a better experience? I only have room for about 70" of projection. There is no physical cockpit, just basic controls and a seat. Looking for whatever will give me the best environment and visual experience. Thanks.

Good qusetion as looking at doing exactly the same but looking at 3 x projectors working from an eye infinity card would like comments on this as well.

I've never dealt with either, but I would think the projector would offer better visuals.

I have been using 5 monitors using wideview for a number of years now and have thought about using projectors also. Monitors are good, but as you are sitting quite close to them, you are always aware that they are monitors and as such, the depth clues that are needed by the eyes and brain are not utilised because the brain can see the flat surface of the monitor close up. For this reason, I use anaglyph 3D and have, at the moment, the best realistic experience of depth and distance. What the projected image allows for, is the depth and distance perception because the projected image is much further away from the eyes and the triggers in the FSX view are able to be processed by the brain and you will get a more realistic depth perception than using monitors. Mycockpit.org has a lot of information about this subject that would help you understand this. http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/cont...cenery-Display

I have used both!
First had Th2go setup until a screen got scratched trying to adjust.
Tried 3 more larger but they were too close as Bernie says, and there were "hot spots" on screen at night.
I decided to try a projector. Wow! The size, distance and emersion was incredible!
No going back to 3 flat monitors for me!
