Ultimate Triple Screen Setup For Simracing - Aorus Fo48u 

I'm getting ready to assemble my new triple set up tonight. Really glad to see that you used the same TV stands I decided to buy for my side screens. I knew going in the adjustment ability was less than ideal; hope I have as good of luck as you.

Excellent Review. I was on the fence regarding these monitors for my rig and this sold it to me.

I think this is the first vid I have seen featuring triple Aorus monitors. I couldn't physically fir the 48's in my sim racing space so went for triple 43's and I absolutely love them. Took me a long time to sort out graphics settings, FOV etc but it has all been worth it. I'm still rubbish at racing but it feels 1:1 when sat in the car. Good vid dude.

Hey there. After you helped me a lot with your video and your comments, I wanted to give a quick update: as already written, I had operated my Simrig with 3 55 inch LG OLED TVs and therefore had problems with missing HDMI ports / adapters. Since there will probably not be a 4000 NVidia GPU with 3 HDMI 2.1 ports, I sold my LG TVs with a heavy heart and got the AORUS monitors. It was a hell of work to rebuild everything, but I'm more than happy now: 4K120 HDR VRR/Gsync is finally working and I don't have to spend hours in the Nvidia Control Panel or with adapters anymore :D I can also confirm that the ABL isn't a problem at all when simracing - althoug I downsized from triple 55" now to these triple 48", the difference in size is negligable and with the AORUS monitors my setup finally works perfectly.

I run a Aorus FV43u single and love this monitor, it does it all and looks fantastic at 144hz. Now I want 2 more for a triple setup. Nice review man!

I'm impressed with your content ... you have my sub. Love from Canada

Great overview. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for that video. It help me a lot cause I don’t really know much about it. I have my rig for about 2 years now mostly Fanatec, next level racing and VR G2 which I got quickly enough. I was then waiting for the 4090. So I did put sim aside for a while. I think with those screens I will be back 🙏 THX

Looks like an amazing setup! Enjoy

Those look great. When I had a sim rig I used a fence board, cut in 3, used 2 door hinges and attached with brackets, then set the 24 in monitors on top of two floor standing speakers with hockey tape underneath for grip. Worked quite well. F10 Klipsch speakers for sizing comparison.

I was running 50" Sony X85J TVs for about a year--fried two of them, and decided to get Samsung 49" Ultrawides as the triples. Concerned about the pixels and the aspect ratios, but they're literally on a truck, out for delivery as I stumble onto this video. Never actually created a return while the product is still out for delivery, but this was sucha n easy choice to use as the replacements. Thank you for doing the Lord's work out there...had never even heard of these, for cheaper than I was going to pay for the Samsungs!!!!

You know I like this guy because he knows his shit. I respect that. Im a geek for monitors too!

Still on triple BenQ 3501, no smearing, good contrast (not as good as oled), really good color accuracy, 144hz. Love them.

Awesome work on your setup man thats so much better then the triple 65s for extra fps and the overall size of things and also looks so dam crisp!! i built my first rig last year triple 32s cause i couldnt find a 3090 for a decent price but will be replicating your setup in the near future hopefully. New sub!!

Running 3 x 50 inch. Not OLED, but they work quite well and fit my budget. I have a roof on mine, similar to Karl. Can really recommend it.

I have triple 48" ultragear oleds, basically the same screens/panels on my rig.. they are fantastic screens.

Great vid mate, nearly pulled the trigger a few weeks back on these monitors, after watching your vid has stoked my interest in revisiting this option Cheers again for all the info and honesty 👍

Thank you! Very direct to the point and nice video cut between the speech. Actually I’m doing research for 48inch triple OLED sim racing. Because I dont want LG c2 55inch that is only hdmi. And I found out LG has 48inch OLED model with dp port. So thanks to your video, I’ll go for it. 🙏🏻

Just want to say thanks for this video, it made me finally decide to get three of these monitors for my simrig. Best monitors I have ever tried! I have an Alienware 55", which was great but triple 55" is just too big so I never ended up getting the side screens for that. I tried a 49" Samsung, with a 27" on either side, but that lost out on height. These really are the perfect setup - colours are even better than the Alienware OLED, easy to use and set up, 3090 gives 3xDP ports for 120hz on all screens, and for Star Citizen or flight sims the proper black levels are amazing. They have really slim bezels, gSync works great, 120hz is a great refreshrate for all my gaming needs. Only downside is the pixel refresh setup doesn't kick in if you just switch your PC off, you need to actually turn the monitors off with the remote. Thankfully one remote turns all 3 on/off, so no big problem. For burn in all I have done is find a few different triple 4k backgrounds and set them on a rotating slideshow. If I am going to leave the PC for a while I turn the monitors off.

Thank you for your video on the display port switch, that’s going to come in very handy . My PC will be about the same distance away from my rig as yours. What did you do for extensions for the USB and the video? Thank you!

you sound like a guy who used to work for geek squad ;) great vid man, killer set up!

Bruh - very nice!

Great video, would be good too see how you configure the angle of the screens and FOV of this set up for people wantning to know how you configure it, would be a great sorce of information for everyone but cheers really good info and has more or less made my decision to go this route.

This is what i was planning to get

The Samsung 50" bendable monitor looks like it be pretty good for this purpose.

Thats exact the setup I want to switch in 2023 from my 3x32“ setup 👌 thanks for that review mate 👌

Thanks for the video and helpful information. What is the 32 in equivalent to the Aorus Fo48u you would recommend? Also are there any other Oleds that are comparable? Thanks

great setup mate! may I ask the foot print of the whole rig? especially how wide is the triple screen ?

so I just downloaded The Sims but I cannot race like this? help?? where is the Sim Race???

Excellent vid Aero! Very insightful and I too bought 3 of these beauties! I have them mounted to a triple monitor stand, downside of my stand is there is very little adjustment to level all 3 screens. When you aligned your monitors did you place each bezel edge to edge or left and right monitor bezels slightly behind the centre monitor? Thanks for the vid!

I just bought 3 48" 4K OLED LG Monitors - had one for 3 weeks now and just purchased the other 2 today.... Man I cant wait to get them set up.... I finally pulled the trigger on biting the bullet and just going to the end game as well. Previously running triple 32's @ 1440p - This is going to be game changing. Love your build!

Thank you very much for your video. May I ask what is the best angle to set up your triple monitors or at least share your experience with difference angles? because I do have the same Aorus Fo48u

Awesome content! Fundamental research and thorough explanation! Love it! I am struggeling a lot between the 42" and 48". I aslo want use an extension for the wheel. I am not sure if too use: a) 42" Triple in front of wheel base as low as possible over wheel extension + thinner bezel + (slightly less weight) + higher ppi + cockpit size smaller - price - Asus only in matte version b) 48" Aorus directly behind the wheel + very cost efficient solution in direct comarison atm + more immersion due to lower postion of screen behind wheel base - concern: FOV and benefit of 48" by using wheel extension - (older panel version) - (cockpit size) If I would use the 42" I would place the screens directly in fornt he wheel base over the extension (minimum 150mm since shortest for Simagic, else I build my own shorter version) of the shaft . Additionally I would use an external DDU and shift the FoV in the vehicle down. This may also reduce the effect of possbile burn-in by not showing the in DDU on screen but on contrary reduce immersion due tom less in car view. Really struggeling here 🙂 Money aside, If could choose again today just concerning the size, which one would you choose for maximum immersion. Still 48"? Cheers, Dom

I’m really keen on getting these, they look incredible but not sure if they will fit within the available room space I have. Could I ask what sort of width the monitors are taking up in total?

Great video, made me decide to go for monitors instead of LG TV's. What FPS are you getting in ACC now you changed to the 40 series card?

Could you share what the footprint/space needed for your setup is? Love it, thank you!

Ghansk for a great and honest sharing of your rig! I’m looking into getting these monitors but I have a pretty small room for my rig. I’m wondering at what angle from the center monitor do you have your left and right monitor? 😊

Great Setup! I am thinking about 48" Triple, but i don't know if there is enough space... Can you tell me the dimensions of the setup? Width of the TVs, how high they are and the total length of the setup? Television 120 degree angle? Thank you!

Great setup man, looking to use it. Do you mind measuring how wide the entire setup runs? No worries if can't get around to it, I can ballpark based off of monitor size. Thanks

Thanks for the Video. I'm considering these for my triple set up , but wondering if a tad too big. So also considering AORUS FV43U, have you any experience with this monitor, or if you were to go one size smaller what would you choose? I also considered Odyssey Neo G7 Curved QLED monitors (S32BG75) ... Whatever I end up with, never going back to anything less than 40cm in screen height...

As I wrote in some other comments here, I'm running a Triple LG 55" OLED Setup and I couldn't agree more with your review. I bought the TVs because in a review Karl Gosling said that the Starlink DP to HDMI Adapters could do Gsync, what is definitely not correct. So I really love my setup, but I really struggle with the point you mentioned: TVs don't have Displayport, GPUs don't have 3 HDMI 2.1 ports. I had to buy a (expensive) Aorus 3080 card with 2 HDMI 2.1, 1 HDMI 2.0 ports and I am limited to 4k@60 RGB or 4k@120 4:2:0. Gsync works with both setups, but running the setup @ 60Hz feels a waste of capability as well as running it with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. At the moment there is hope that there will be a RTX 4XXX card with 3 HDMI 2.1 ports, otherwise 3 OLED TVs is absolutely not the perfect solution: at the moment I am restricted to AORUS GPUs, because this is the only GPU series with at least 3 HDMI ports and these cards are still way more expensive than GPUs from other manufacturers. I don't want to give up GSync, because as you stated with Triple 4K Setups you typically don't have always high fps and you need the variable refresh rate, otherwise you have to use DP to HDMI Adapters and play @ 60Hz fixed. So in conclusion I have a very very nice setup, but it could be better with Screens with Displayport - I would switch the setup, but I got used to the screen size of the 55" screens and from my experience switching from bigger to smaller screens doesn't satisfy me ;)

Loving the setup. I'm looking at next stage upgrades right now and I found your vid. I've currently got one LG 48CX OLED I am using between PC and PS5. I was thinking to go triples but a 27 or 32 would not really be playable with PS5 and consoles don't do ultrawide. So, I think I am going 3 x 48in. And this is where your vid came in! I saw another comment where you mentioned the LG Ultragear. I can source two pretty cheap under MSRP. In your experience of OLED and the monitors, do you think I need to ditch the 48in CX and go with 3x LG Ultragear or can I get away with he CX in the setup? Hoping you see this :) Cheers.

Fantastic setup, and clearly you've been very thorough with your research all around. Have you had any issues with G-Sync on these? I've read that people have had issues running these as triples and trying to use G-Sync (something about monitor not being listed as G-Sync compatible within Nvidia Surround app), which is why I am currently leaning towards the LG 48GQ900-B since they supposedly have more reliable G-Sync support (and less annoying pixel refresh schedule).

Nice video! I previously ran (3) 48" LG tvs but got frustrated with the HDMI to Display Port converters. I tried running HDMI 2.1 to center screen and the converters to the sides but there was a noticeable lag between the screens. Eventually had to lower resolution (and upscale picture) to get it to work smoothly and recently moved back to 32" 1440p, 165Hz curved gaming monitors. Plan to try again when Nvidia 4090 launches and got my eye on some new triple monitors like the Alienware curved QD-Oled 34" 3440x1440 175Hz.

Great video! You got a new subscriber :) I'm really curious on what you think of the new Samsung Odyssey Ark. Do you think it could be one of the best options for triples on a high budget? Any plans on trying them? Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Great video bro. I currently have a 55” oled lg. was thinking of adding two of these aorus as the side monitors. The difference in height from the lg and aorus is about 3.75 inches. U think I could make that work and line things up with nvidia surround ? Or the almost 4” height difference would look weird ?

Great setup. Yes I am always looking to trade in my 27" triples and I have been looking at oled for this size for a while. 3080 is what I have but I would probably spec down to 1440p to keep the FPS constant during a full field of cars. Have a 48c1 for my desktop monitor and now that LG ultragear have one this year and Sony making 48 and 42 there are lots of options. But display port is a must so that narrows it down a bit. No adaptors for me. Take care and see you on the track.

I really wish there was a 42” oled monitor ( not tv ) option . I’m running a single 48” oled for sim racing and it feel just a hair to big. I want to switch to triples but can’t find a specific monitor that I like. Great vid by the way love the rig

This 48" setup really would be perfect for the size. They aren't much pricer than TV's either. Mine is a little bigger using 55's 120hz tv panels. For anyone on TV's, adapters are now 8k 60hz and 4k/120 for the dpi ports....so if you're running a 4k setup you can get over the 60hz bottleneck at 11520x2160 (depending on your gpu obviously). Really at this point either solution would work well though. Highly recommend a 4090 if you're 4k though, otherwise just downscale it to 1440 and it will still look great. Happy racing all. :)

Looking at jumping to the 48” ultra gears. Curious if you have made the jump up to the 4090 yet and what improvements you have seen and what type of graphics settings you run in acc? Great video

Great setup. I am planning the same. May I ask why the Next Level Racing freestanding monitor stand does not suit this setup? From their specs it should work? I would like my monitor stand to match my rig.

Love these videos man, I have a 48LG and thinking about getting 2 of these Aorus monitors. They say they are AMD Free sync but still work with Gsync? Any tips on getting Gsync work or is it just plug and play? Also do you think I'll have full gsync if I have 1 LG 48 on HDMI and 2 of these at DP on a 3080Ti? Thanks.

I would like to see some iracing nascar videos with arca , xfinity and cup cars.

I was wondering what if the front screen was curved and the sides were flat ? Would that be better or worse ?

A year later, which monitors would you get if you were going triple?

Thanks for the video. Funny thing is I was doing tons of research trying to find a solution exactly like your suggesting. For some reason this monitor never showed up because I was searching specifically for gsync monitors and this one technically isn’t listed as gsync compatible. So just to confirm they haven’t changed this monitor or something and it actually is gsync compatible? I guess that raises the interesting question in my mind of how many monitors are out there that are gsync compatible but aren’t advertised as such.

Hi bud, I'm at the decision point looking at 32" x 3 as my choice, , but a obstacle has come up when I actually started looking for monitors.... where i live 32" 144hz IPS is just crazy expensive.... So i have 2 Options for my Triple Screen Sim Racing setup..... 32" 1440p 75hz IPS vs 32" 1440p 144z VA (both options above are priced very close) Is the Black Smearing & Viewing Angles of VA panels a problem/issue for Sim Racing? Should i go with 75hz IPS or 144hz VA....? Thanks (5600x/3080fe)

hi, you made me want a 48" triple screen. The support is ready, I'm waiting for the screens. How far are you from the screen and how much angle for the screens? thank you very much

would really love to see a Rig tour

hi, i bought 3 TV oled evo 48" for simracing and i got a lot of trouble because they don't have a DP, but only hdm1. The one with HDMI cable work so well but the other 2 that have DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 a lot of time they when i restart pc they have the "no signal" error so i have to play with graphics and\or disconnect econnect cable to see all of them again. For now i have problem with nvidia surround too. Sometime the 2 monitor on side on 120hz got a black sreen. Are you using DP to all of them? Are you getting 120hz on triple with nvidia surround? Did you ever get some error like the one i said? thx a lot for the reply

Hi from Austria and many thanks for your video, very helpful 😉👍. What stand would you recommend ????? Thanks 🙏

Grats for the sim! A question: what's the distance between your eyes and the middle of the center screen?

Hello, I run gsync too in sims, but do you acrivate vsync in the same time or just gsync ?

Maybe I just didn't understood this topic correct: is there any way to get rid of these burn in protection popups? Do they only occur if you switch the screens completely off or will there be always those popups from time to time? Thanks for your effort 👍🏻

hi, how large is the setup with triple 48‘ ?

Hi. How annoying is the glare? Can see the left monitor reflecting in the center monitor. And what about face / room reflections?

You have set the surround 11520x2160p@120hz? Its is possible using a 3080 or 4090 where the max resolution is 8k@60? I cant set 12k@120hz, my cables and my monitors suport 4k@120hz, i'm using 3080.

Hey. Great video. Why dont you use a bezel free kit?

Really good video. I subscribed to your channel. Will 3 lg c2 48 inch work on a rtx 3090 with a display port to hdmi 2.1 adaptor that does 4k 120hz and allows g sync/free sync and bypass vrr ? So maybe have one of the c2 connect to the hdmi 2.1 and the other 2 connect to the display port to hdmi 2.1?

Can you please tell me what is the width of the 3 monitors at the widest point? And the depth as well please? I am trying to work out if it would fit on my desk. Thanks

Hello, please I need your help with my triple screen. I have an Nvidia Rtx 3080Ti graphics card so 1 HDMI and 3 displayports. I am above all a gamer so I plan to put HDMI on my 65 inch TV for my action adventure games. Then my 3 displayports on my triple screen for SimRacing. My question is if I can have a two main screen (my 65 screen for my action adventure games and the middle screen of my triple screen as a second main screen) I took a long time in order to explain it better, please help me if there is a solution for me. Sincerely

Couldnt you get the LG OLED and get the cords that are HDMI at one end and Display port at the other to plug into the PC without a converter box to distort the framing?

You can run 11520x2160? - is the res widely supported in sim racing games? Do you need to drop to 1440p for some games?

Lg 42 OLED comes with HDMI 2.1 and G since 120 Hz so no need display port to run g since

Have you had any issues with these monitors flickering or they just simply do not turn on when the PC turns on?

Tell me please, what's the distance between the wheelbase mounting uprights and central display? And what is the angle between central and side displays?

Hey is it possible for a Rig tour

I’m actually going to be getting these same exact monitors for my triple screen setup. Still no issues??

Thanks for this video man, great explanation of why I shouldn't have gotten the C1s, argh! lol. I want GSYNC. I see these are $999 on amazon, the 43" are only $650. I might wait for the 48" to come down in price. These were recently released, right? You mentioned they dropped once to $800 or so. Would be a steal. I paid $900 for each of the 55" C1s. I think ASUS has a 48" monitor that also came out recently also that has a fan to prevent OLED burn-in and can get brighter (?). I have 4 GT1EVOs that I might use a single 55" LG C1 on since they can each get a single HDMI 2.1 connection. I planned to use the P1X with a triple setup, thinking I'll go with the monitors you're using. Did you ever consider "open environment" setup? Where they use triple projectors instead of triple monitors? I guess we have the same problem since no projector has display port AFAIK.

Thinking of getting these monitors how are you enjoying them have triple 32s at the mo

personal use a G9 49" .. its suficient for a fast driving/ imersion ... but your setup is fantastik... great job !!

Hello mate, wondering what your thoughts on these monitor's are now? Any issues? Regret? I am looking at them for the exact same application as you. I just fear that pop up will display while im in endurance races. What's your experience?

I find it funny that people talk about 144hz monitors/tv but when you are running triple 4Ks in surround mode you will not be getting anywhere near 144hz unless your graphic settings are on the low end but at that point it is not worth it since it will look like crap. I run my 3 TCL 4K tvs in surround mode at 7500 x 5840 with a i12900K and RTX 3090 and get about 60 fps in AC using content manager and settings at max.

Still happy with these monitors? I wonder about the in game HUD from most sims causing burn in? I want full immersion and not sure what to do...32-48 seems like a good size range for immersion

Man i cannot believe i havent come across your channel earlier. So i have a Valve index, DD1, same wheel pedals etc LOL but running a samsung G9 on the sim. Now changing to a triple screen setup. Tell me how am i wiring up the triples and a desktop ultrawide monitor AND VR without unplugging and replugging cables into my 3090 everytime (surely this will kill the port after a while) Are you running a switch of some sort that does the highter res and also GSync etc? I am so kicking myself as i wanted to buy The F048s as well but i cant fit them into the corner where the couch is. So now im going to have to get 32s and doing research for models. They are so cheap atm in sydney i can get the F048u for $990AUD so like $650USD and i have to settle for rubbish IPS in comparison. (I know first world problems, it just hurts to know OLED is just there at the same price and i cant use it. So how are you connecting the triples and VR and a Desktop monitor i presume? my 3090 only has 3x DP and 1 HDMI. Also one more question, the reason im changing from the G9 to triples is the g9 is just very narrow vertically and even up close i cant see the dash and the road. Will 32s be better off behind the DD1? or too far for 32s? or closer and i put them right up against the wheel between the base. I just wanted the dash to be realistally behind the wheel like the a real car. (ive been driving in VR for 2 years and struggling to use a monitor so want to set the best i can. (flat is so hard to get used to now) Man I have almost all the same gear like you so just wanted to get a little bit of help and i plan EVERYTHING before buying and im struggling for a clean all wired setup without plugging in out out stuff everytime i want to change from triples to VR. Thank you for your time and keep up the awesome vids. Subed for life lol

Can you comment on the overall width and depth of your entire setup? I was considering this exact setup when I found your video but have a slightly small play area

What angle do you set the screens at?

hello there ! I have the exact same setup as you ! but , I am sometimes struggling getting my fov right in ACC , Rfactor2 and AMS2 . Would you be willing to share the exact value you are using in those games for the fov setup ? thanks a lot!

I had to smile when realizing how much you stress on the great image quallity of OLED - but we re sim racers - we play games with 2002 GFX xD

What’s the width in inches

Great set up... VR is the future of sim racing...wen we get lighter headsets, crystal clear resolution also the hardware to run them properly...

Share video setting for acc please I have 3060 and 49odyssey neo

Do you have told the graphic card for 3 Monitors? Nvidia Zotac RTX 3070 or 3090? You are the only one in the RaceSims World that I have found on YT, who recommends Aorus 48" - how do you have came to that? Never heard from it - from which country? All that I know in germany (YT channels) use max. 27" screens, no OLED, 120khz, and monitors from BenQ or Samsung. Plus one smaller above the 3 others for chats a.s.o. German Helldrivers ^^ put more money into their simrigs, pedals and steering wheels or joysticks ;D By the way - how high are your costs every month for the current? ;)

Does exist now in late 2023 some hdmi to dp adapters that permit gsync ?

Unfortunately, I.don't.have the room forma.full.rig, so I have triple 24" on my.desk (and that is pushing limits). My wheel stand slides nicely under the desk to where my wheel base is right up.against it. But I eventually want to go to a full rig, but that won't happen until one of our kids move out and I can take over a complete room.

I've had to return TWO (2) Samsung G9s. They are total rubbish. One blew up after heaps of picture issues, the other had the same issues making me need to turn them off and on to reboot them, making me lose races etc.

Bit of an odd request, but if you find the time would you be able to measure the footprint of your setup? Basically just a rough L×W, cheers!

So, do those have LG panels, and why not go LG? I have the same 48-inch old from LG with the same specs, but with clocking, it can go 138hz. LG are cheaper. But I also respect Aorus as I have their 4090 which is so good.

What is the span of your 48 inch triple setup ?

The most important part 4:50 👍
