I've been running a three monitor set up for years in FS9, FSX and X-plane. In the future, I anticipate using FSX and X-plane, and perhaps the new MS sim.
I gave up on using the triple monitors for an extended screen view because of the ghastly stretch at each end. So, in recent years I have used the 2nd and 3rd monitors for undocked bits of panels, and Navigation programs like Little Nav Map (LNM) run on a network.
My problem now is that the middle screen (they are all 24 inch identical types, aged about 8 years) has failed.
I am looking for advice on what to do next as I think I have four options:
1. Replace the 24 inch monitor with another similar if I can find one. Problem with this is that both the aging 2nd and 3rd monitors could fail at any moment.
2. Buy a curved screen for a full panoramic view - hopefully without distortion anywhere. I do not know anything about curved screens.
3. Buy three new 27 inch screens and continue as before. This would be the easiest option.
4. Move to Oculus Rift or similar. I do not know if these can be used alongside standard monitors showing moving map programs like LNM. I have read about motion sickness, poor resolution, and low frame rates with Oculus Rift.
I'd be grateful for advice.
