Even then the VESA mounts for multiple monitors will not change from one mounting to the next, so they would have to be close to the same angle. Particularly in portrait mountings the IPS monitors might be mounted a little higher if they are very wide (tall in this case), but even so that would make the difference no more than about 4" and with the users seat being centered. . . If he sees a difference it is not related to viewing angle.

I have 3 identical Dell monitors on a triple monitor stand. I can see the view angle difference. Your response is that I can't.  :lol

I can see obvious changes in my TN monitor view in the vertical dimension: it's so sensitive that it looks different even if I just slump a bit in my chair.

with 3 screens, I could see from wingtip to wingtip on my pony.  and if you also have trakir it is amazing.  to say that it adds zero value to improve situational awareness is like saying you dont need trakir because it doesnt improve over having all the views mapped on your joystick.

I guess your perspective on 3 monitors is different than some of us.  just like I think the oculus will be cool up until the first time you spill your beer all over your keyboard.

If you want to use 3 monitors in portrait mode they need to be IPS panels because you need the view angles. If you only use landscape mode either type works.

This was my experience too.

Now using a Dell Ultrasharp U3014 and I am very happy with it. I have a separate 24 inch monitor on the side when I play other sims in windowed mode. Been considering two more U3014s but they are salty and the refresh time will be an issue with that specific model. Guess I'll wait for the UHDs since I personally hate the bezel thingie. Graphics card is a NVidia GTX 690.

Maybe he hasnt angled them correctly to surround the view, then the screens would be in side view.

I've run 3 monitors, I'm back to a single one again, but will shortly probably do something like this - my system blows this guys away, so I should be able to run the 3 55" or 60" screens.

I really like this guy's cockpit/setup, check this out.

It does if you look at the 2 side screens directly but after a while you get used to it. If I see a con out of the corner of my eye I use my hat to change the perspective to the center screen and everything appears normal.
When I'm tanking it's easier to see someone off to the left/right of me firing. So changing my view to them Is much easier.

When I get home I can post pictures of the tanking portion of the game.

As the old saying goes.. ones enough... Three is for me.

The DCS program also allows you to setup the two monitors as MFDs. Actually, there are a lot of options.

You can even use 8" USB monitors and mount them behind the Thrustmaster MFDs for a proper MFD display.
