IM deffo not a DIY kinda bloke. But at my age with poor eyes i have decided to purchase this display, Cant wait to try and build my own dash for it too , Great vid Wil. as always :) EDIT; This is an amazing dash, i can fit every bit of info on it that i need and its crystal clear. Thanks for the vid Wil, I would not have known about it if not seen your review. Now im saving up for the Porche wheel :)
Looks really cool, but it doesnt matter how good the dash might be at the end of the day your paying $600 for a small screen. Doesnt make sense to me. Anyway Awsome video as always!
At one point I thought about buying a dash, but I came to realise, what’s the point? If the car has one it’s going to be on the screen, and if it does it’s going to be unique to that car.
That thing is beautiful! Sure its pretty expensive, but 2 years ago people were buying the precisionsimengineering ddu (4.3“) for over 700€, so this ddu is definitely much nicer for that price. Would you still be able to see most of the dash when using a wheel that already had a build in dash? Or would it be smarter to go with that ddu 10 and a wheel without builtin dash? I wanted to get the cube csx 3, but now this is on my list too haha
Great review. I considered getting a dash for my setup but decided to put money aside, until I had enough, for a wheel with display. Will you be reviewing their Porsche rsr replica wheel anytime in the distant future?
Looks awesome! But I'd have absolutely nowhere to fit it. With huge monitors further away I can see how it would work, but my smaller 32s are right up against my rim above the nose of my wheelbase - all for the FOV. :) I do wish I had the ability to fit something like this though, such a slick design.
@Jonas Jonaitis i prefer to have them right above the wheel, pretty much an inch or inch and a half above the quick release, theyre not in my face but it makes it look like the dash on screen is right there
Great image presentation and construction, for me I go DYI for that kind off display. But I have to honest, I think if they go a little low on price we could have a winner because of the screen size. Great review Will. Cheers friend 🙂
For what it's worth, I have a 1080ti with 3 DP and 1 HDMI output and all 4 can be used simultaneously with or without nvidia surround. I suspect 4 is the limit even for cards with more physical ports.
I've never wanted a dash before, and I still don't ha ha ha. Looks really nice. Probably best one I've seen due to size. I just don't need one. I have enough trouble playing with my knob while driving lol. Only use one for some adjustments. A screen telling me how bad I'm doing isn't for me cos I'll crash.
It's cool I suppose. Price is high though, mighty high. You can't really slam it because it does exactly what it says on the box. Won't stop me from using my old tablet, which has a slightly larger screen (probably the same size as the outer housing on the Porsche unit) with a better resolution, not to mention soooo much cheaper, and still functions as a regular tablet when unclip it from the rig.
Mate, thank you for your very informative videos. I have purchased the Grid dash and I just love it. However, I could only download the generic dashboard from Grid and I could not find the Porsche Cup one made by Adam Heart. Any idea where I can get it? Many thanks!
Love the dash, however I think it should be etched glass instead of glossy. But I can’t even make it through one turn with the cup car. Steep learning curve and skill needed for that car.
@@Mr_QWERTY I run triple 1440 monitors and a 1080 top monitor where my desktop lives. Most serious racing rigs have 4 monitors. Therefore we have no more outputs in our systems. Nvidia cards allow a maximum of 4 outputs at once even though my card has 5 only 4 can work at once.
Unless you happen to have a CPU with integrated graphics then yeah this kind of HDMI dash would eliminate the ability to use a 4th monitor above the triple span
How does it work with a round wheel? Its a great dash for sure and i like the big screen since it can show more data. But i use a round wheel for rallying, and the formula wheel for GT etc.
Where did you get the Adam heart dash? I just wish the grid dash had a basic TC And have you noticed that the red lights on the side is low oil pressure - so far only AMS2 has avoided that, might just turn it off for other games. Cheers
Everyone runs to different budgets though mate, some people will be running a 24incher/g29/laptop for their sim rig and then you have people like Will with the polar opposite. ;)
I'm going to love this thing in VR. I was looking for a way to take my VR rig to the next level and I think this is it. Kinda expensive but hey its officially licensed.
i have a 1080 i have 1 DVI, 1 hdmi and 1 display port and no problems, the limits are probably the gpu wouldn't be able to drive all those monitors at once
🤔 I would be very.., very.., interested in this sort of large screen format, if only they had taken a little extra effort with the design and ensured there's a 💥 *"USB-C"* 💥 port supported. 🤔🙏 I'm just sooooo.., very tired and over 🤦🏾♂️ the many cables needed in SIM Racing hardware components. 😏 *"USB-C"* has more then enough functional capacity to simplfy this hardware setup..!!!👍💯😎
Hello I would like to buy my same screen as you I have a 4090 can you turn the screens in 4k? And how many fps and with what cable please thank you for your work and your help
@@Miguel-th3wx It's not ,it's just what Wills rig cost, and good luck to him.I'm certainly not spending 25% of my set up on it but as I say ,it's not aimed at me so it's all good
Hey not to do with this video specifically but I’ve been trying to figure out how to capture ultra wide gameplay. I have Samsung odyssey g9 neo and it’s a 5120x1440 display. I’ve been using obs ndi on a dual pc setup and my gaming pc frame rates have dropped 30% regardless of what I do to mitigate that. I was wondering how you capture your gameplay and stream it specifically not the cameras and such as I assume that’s a cam link pro or something. Do you use a capture card to record gameplay? If so which one? Both pcs are decent. Gaming pc: 5950x, 3090ti, 64 gb cl 16 3600. Streaming pc: 5800x, 3070, 32 gb cl 16 3600. I want to try to figure how to use both pcs effectively. I don’t actually want to stream the whole screen rather just capture the middle part of the screen (16:9) and stream that. I’ve been doing this with ndi by setting the ndi input to native and the output to 1080p and just moving the ultra wide image in the middle on obs. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Love you’re videos one day I’ll also have a sim setup!
I use the exact same setup you're describing when I need to capture gameplay natively. Not sure why you'd be seeing such a massive performance hit TBH.
@@boostedmedia yeah some people online have a story like mine than others say it works flawlessly. But it’s most noticeable in the new cod that just dropped. I get 150+ fps when I’m not streaming and when I am streaming using ndi I get 90-100 fps. They are both using Ethernet and the stream looks great. It says it’s using 0.1% cpu on my gaming pc. I’m just wondering do you know how exactly ndi works? What resources does ndi use on the gaming pc?
Not to be critical but this should have been reviewed on a different rig, that most would use it on... I like many probably, don't run a dash because I like my 49" to be as close to my eyes and wheel base as possible not leaving any room for one.
Nice, but seems kind of a gimmick to me. I have a 7" display and I though I needed it . But, I find myself rarely looking at it. Plus, it's just too big, and would make my monitors sit even higher. With a raspberry pi, Would be nice if I could use it in a real car!!!
Sadly, this device is not for me. I am running a 4 Screen setup already. My Nvidia card only supports 4 monitors simultaneously. I would rather had a USB screen.
Add a billet enclosure, PCB design time and ordering, custom glass, packaging, etc etc. I don’t get why the peanut gallery needs to chime in… if you want to build it, go build it but it won’t be this quality…
@@bravo.charlie777 Great and that's your opinion and I have mine. Like I don't make fun ppl who couldn't afford a z06 or zr1 and had to settle with a grand sport
Very disappointing… when I hear I was thinking that a brand like that would do something out of the box… but HDMI really ?! three cables in beginning 2023 ?.. no full integrated pcb … looks like more a DIY. There are some brand’s like SimDash that had started the Wide displays more than a year ago and they use 2 cables… and they cost half of that one.
You try building one with your own screens, do the R&D, design and have made enclosures/packaging and then get the blessing from PORSCHE, then see where your pricing comes in at...
@@Mr_QWERTY it's literally a pre-built screen and board - if "porsche" costs 400 they can keep it lol, anyone with a 3D printer and 200 can build this identical and put the markings on themselves. The only design and R&D was building the enclosure.
@@Azmodon delusional. You are not going to be able to order a single piece of silk screen printed glass. Go order plexi and scratch it. You’re also forgetting design time for everything if you value your time, what is that worth? Plus aluminum enclosure, pcb, etc etc etc. Go build it and see how the quality compares 👍
Wow 600 Euro 👀 For an off the shelf display and electronics that costs around 100 Euros all in. Then a few LEDs and some 3D printed components. All together it looks really nice, but the mark up is just ridiculous. You can buy a real decent PC monitor, or LED TV for that money. Still people will buy it, and the cash cow will continue. making everything in the simming community overpriced.
