Thank you! Ive actually tried ultrawide. But I didnt like the height of it, didnt feel immersed at all tbh. Thats why I wanted to go 32" gaining a bit of height. The only ultrawide that have that height is the 57" that I know of and thats kinda pricey lol.
Each option will have different drawbacks regards factors like performance/price/configuration and compatibility.
With that can come pros and cons depending on the user. Some people also want to factor in "other" usage scenarios with their monitor/PC than just sim racing.
An important factor, even for people now coming away from triples is that the industry as a whole seems to be moving away from it. You can see this even at the sim trade shows.
32:9 is gaining more ground each year and VR/AR keeps improving too. With these, their is consumer demand for improved multi-tasking or multi monitor possibilities in a display. Certainly, VR is not suited to everyone or may be their preference to use constantly, but from an immersion aspect, it kills triple monitors and it does such with much less hassle, or with simple installation.
Regards monitors, if you compare 16:9 to 32:9 then clearly it brings a lot of additional immersion. Up until recently triple 27" was and probably still is the most popular 3 screen config. All those people were able to "make do" with the height of those screens, ah but now because we have 32" models these are no good? For gaming probably excellent but I think 1440p is not ideal, or high enough res in 32" or above for general usage purposes, so depends on the users wants.
Sure you can buy triple screens, even budget models but how good will they be, is the primary focus for you on refresh rate of at least 144Hz/165Hz and 32" size? If so yeah plenty of budget options available.
What about just general image quality, what about colour accuracy, what about HDR quality, do these factor much in your decision. Or what about pixel density if you go with 32" in only 1440p? Will the resolution/pixels look too big? So do you choose size over quality or image clarity? Just all points to consider, but like I said at the beginning regards each option and pros/cons and different people will choose in different ways.
The best quality/performance 32" monitors are not that cheap neither. If you seek 3 then you are going to be getting into quite a large sum of money. Also seems most of the models with higher specs in image quality are 4K and not 1440p. These are reasons why the 32:9 1440p monitors have become so popular as they offer an ideal compromise for both productivity and gaming. So for some, single easy to configure, more simple to physically install, less demanding on GPU than triples or indeed single 4K screen.
Indeed the new 57" Neo G9 is not cheap, it has some drawbacks of its own too, but it is built upon one of the best 32" screens in the Neo G8 and with rather good HDR. Yet really we do not have a GPU on the market today with DP 2.1 and wont for some time that can make the best of its resolution.
So yes triple 32" 1440p "gaming focused" monitors may be the best option "for you" and their will be a good range of monitors getting reduced to clear in that sector.
I also added a 7800XT to my other system. Also no complaints, but I haven't tried it on any racing titles or triple screens yet.
