The most important part would have been showing us how to setup a 4th monitor. I just mounted my 32in TV and I can't figure out how to keep my triples as they are and just having windows on the TV its all scrambled in 4 different screens now. When your not a PC wiz this would have been very good to show to us. I find often PC guys think everyone is just as advanced as them
Thank you for advising people to donate to SimHub - I've seen too many streamers refer to SimHub and Crew Chief as "free", and the devs certainly deserve to have a few dollars thrown their way for enhancing our enjoyment of sim racing.
I’m that idiot that gives old stuff away when I purchase new stuff that replaces it. And then I watch a video like this and I’m like: ah yes, that is an option too 😂
Will, it has just dawned on me that I have saved more of your videos for reference than anyone else in the industry. Thank you for providing so much useful information, especially to those like me who have not had a lot of exposure in this wonderful and exciting sim racing world.
Great video Will! I am assembling a quad monitor stand as we speak. I intended to use the fourth screen for race telemetry, position, etc. The process is a little daunting for a first time setup; I greatly appreciate your easy-to-follow instructions. Thanks again!
What easy to follow instructions he doesn't show how to get the 4th monitor to work while retaining the triples as they are. Wish he would show that my tv is set up but if I connect the hdmi all my screens go back to individual screens.
Been using a second monitor for nearly the entire time I've had my game pc, 8 years, usually for temp/load monitoring and my voice chat. May be a bit under utilized, but it works. I run an 8" Amazon tablet and SimHub for my dash, slickest program I've tried.
Got an old 24 ich on top. Usally i have a picture of the muppet show.. So i dont forget what split Im inn... (not top) and I used my keyboardtray to make a catbed.... 👀
So your saying I could connect my laptop to Simhub and use that for all my telemetry and dash? That’s awesome. I’ve got a nice laptop that sits around and would love to utilize the screen. Awesome vid again.
How much electricity do you use? 1.21 giga watts?! Lol, on a serious note that rig is fantastic and a great idea if you have the space in your home. I decided to just do VR atm till I get more space for triples etc.
Will. Do you actually still have time or mindset to just enjoy simracing? Do you still do racing for the sake of "lets do a race, it will be fun" or this is become your work and everything you do is for work and not fun or as a hobby anymore?
I’ll be honest. I have very little time to just race and have fun these days. But I’m working towards freeing up more time. Bringing Tom on was a big part of that strategy.
hey, why would you upgrade? of course, I don't know your circumstances. but I a=currently have 1, 27-inch monitor. I am not sure what the reason for so many. I don't want to come across as snobby if I am. I am just curious.
@@zeusgames5701 "Total Immersion" Hahahaha I do have that sense sometimes but I am 6´7 and its hard for me to feel that "wrap around" with my 27 inch screens! I tried it with my two 55inch TVs and a friends 55inch just to "sit in it" and I really wanna try it!!! (Not able to connect the three to any game) Probably wont though!! Too much money and hopefully life will go back to a somewhat normality!!
@@captainchaos-havenofearhim290 oh okay! And btw. Your really tall 🤣🤣 I'm 5 11 but I know I do t have total immersion but I am also 16 and don't have the money for a big rig.. lol
I never look at leaderboards while racing, if I use a 4th monitor it'd be for chat/stream mirror or extra info such as tire and car damage/pit stuff or something.
Hey Will. I follow your journey of building this impressive rig. I do race in VR myself but this video you made me think about one thing. I remember Steliyan from the channel Race Beyond Matter was mentioning in one of his previous videos the idea of building the artificial roof above the screens to separate your eye vision from what is above and increase the immersion effect of being inside the car. I have never had a chance to sit infront of such rig like yours. But it made me wondering, could building something on top made you - as a driver - have an increased feeling of "damn, I am in a car" and in your personal opinion what would be better for you 4th screen or increased immersion?
Is there anything you don’t know about pc’s and sim racing gear ha. I swear I spend more time watching sim racing related videos than I do actually sim racing 😂
Those monitors can come extra handy but only if you have a separate PC to power them. If you use them along your main rig and it happens that the refresh rates are different than you have a big mess. Windows doesn't like this at all.
@@boostedmedia Will, if I have only one computer and say triples, each running 1440p at 165hz, will adding the 4th monitor running 1080p at 60hz be possible (using the same video card via HDMI port)? I keep hearing that all the monitors either need to be the same resolution (1080p or 1440p) or same refresh rate (165hz) for Windows 10 to play nicely with them. I don't want all monitors dropping down to 60hz or anything like that. Thanks.
Hey Will, I go back and watch videos I had previously watched at some point, and when watching this one I noticed you were using the bezel kits on your triples, and I recently purchased a kit from Asus for my triples, and while they do their job when the monitors are on, I have to admit it looks like I connected my monitors with clear packing tape when they are off. Any comments concerning your use of the kits?
Do you need to type in a new IP address each time you want to access SIMHUB and its content via the 4th monitor, or is that original IP static sou you can just bookmark it? I dont have a second PC, but think I can use an old Fire Stick to access internet and Silk browser to make my 4th a “smart tv”
@@boostedmedia Thanks for the reply. One last question if you dont mind, the LG CX or upcoming C1 will be available on multiple sizes, so my question is now that you had your setup for a long time, would you think the size of your screens is perfect as it is or would prefer slightly bigger/smaller?
Will another great vid. Do you have any video on graphic settings with triple screens on ACC please. I’ve recently gone to triples but not 100% happy. I have a 3090 nvidia card, an AMD ryzen cpu? 32 gig ram. I’ve noticed when I start a race or hot lap the image judders for a second or so? That is one issue. If you have covered this somewhere either on CZcams or discord could you point me in the right direction please.
Networking 2nd PC? My venerable AMD Athlon PC is sitting in the corner with a replacement MoBo ready to go. Would become active in iRacing? I went back 4 months in your Videos but found this this not. *_Can haz link or pointer?_* Is in your "FULL RIG TOUR"? TIA
Hi Will ,I cannot get the leaderboard app on simhub to work. If I load it on another screen, only my name will appear in the list. I don't see the other racers in the list, nor their times. Is there a special setting somewhere that I forget?
We use it for motion compensation so the image on the screens moves with the motion platform as if the screens were connected to it. czcams.com/video/7-yTnXUHK7w/video.html

Got the same cpu. But a 2080ti. Run triples and a 4th on top. That on top didnt impact my fps.. Guess you will be good if its just CZcams, stream, jts and stuff.
@@espressoryen-grdahl9144 yh nice to know tho thanks for that could do with a 2080ti but dam there loads, I just been using my phone tbf to for CZcams but not done many streams, i used to do one everyday

An extra screen as a steamer and as a workstation setup in general is super useful for sure!
So I can use an extra monitor to steam my hams?
Ah, I see what I’ve done here
Well played Ethan and Alba 🤣
I’m that idiot that gives old stuff away when I purchase new stuff that replaces it. And then I watch a video like this and I’m like: ah yes, that is an option too 😂
Yea Im like you..its good tho, we dont have "hoarder mentalities haha
I’m the same as I normally have it lying around for ages then eventually sell it or just give it away but then I need it in a couple of days 😂
Will, it has just dawned on me that I have saved more of your videos for reference than anyone else in the industry. Thank you for providing so much useful information, especially to those like me who have not had a lot of exposure in this wonderful and exciting sim racing world.

Two of those smaller screens could be used as side mirrors for people with a single monitor. If that was possible to do
I cant tell you how much your videos have helped my setup, You rock man!
More screens than the TAB lol
When some see the electricity bill will think he is running mining machines in home xD
Or a um... 'gardening' house?
Great video, insight & advice - thank you Will/Boosted Media. 👍👍👍

Awesome content again. Looking to add a screen about my ultrawide. This is great. Thanks!
Another great vid Will. Keep them coming 👍🏻

Always great content! Very inspirational. Eager for the Stream Deck set up video!!!

Press F11 and get a cleaner interface.
Those monitors can come extra handy but only if you have a separate PC to power them. If you use them along your main rig and it happens that the refresh rates are different than you have a big mess. Windows doesn't like this at all.
I use an old iPad as an extra screen I ran out of hdmi and display ports on the back of my pc
i actually wanted to do something similar today, but i need 2 more monitors for that and i dont have them "yet"
Works just as well as a side screen for a single monitor sim rig. :)
@@boostedmedia yeah i use VR whilst driving and have a triple screen currently for personal use, but you can never have to many screens xD

Just trying to workout how to mount my 32 inch monitor above my 49 inch ultrawide and have it movable as they double as work monitors.
Just Google single monitor arm. Loads of options available for pretty good prices. That should do what you need.

If you were building your setup today, would you chose the Omen over the LG CX?
I haven’t tried the LG CX but probably. The Omens were around for about a year before the CX but the CX seem like better value at least on paper.

Hey @Boosted Media would I loose much performance by running a second monitor? I’m trying to stay around 150fps
Depends on what you use it for. Stuff like Sim-hub is relatively light on CPU and memory usage.
Wills got more monitors then curry’s pc world
why having a trckir 5 and a tripplemonitors?
We use it for motion compensation so the image on the screens moves with the motion platform as if the screens were connected to it.
