Content Provider Schlabber34 Posted August 27, 2022 Content Provider Share Posted August 27, 2022 I found this today! 45" 21:9 OLED 1440p 240hz! This one might slip perfectly into a standard sized cab! You can bend it to whatever curvature you like! Including totally flat! The only flat 45" 21:9 gaming monitor that i know of! What do you guys think? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/xeneon-flex-bendable-ultra-wide-gaming-display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertms Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Very cool, and it's an LG OLED panel. But it looks like the stand might be an integral part of the monitor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider BorgDog Posted August 28, 2022 Content Provider Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's close, but doing the math a 45" 21:9 is only 17.7" tall/wide so somewhat narrow for a vp cab, something like a 50-52" would be the perfect width for a standard cab.

robertms Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 @BorgDog nice to see you in these parts again! How's that wedgehead vpin holding up, thinking of upgrading tech anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A saw and a screwdriver might be a bit risky when you think about the possible price 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, yeah you're right! Let's keep our fingers crossed that they do a 50" version for the sim racing / flight sim guys! Still the people who are building a DIY cab should have a look at this!

That said I have not really been doing any VP stuff besides following along, mostly keeping up with the VPE stuff as that intrigues me. Current plan is to totally disassemble the cab and rebuild it as a homebrew (real pinball) version of my Star Wars table, but who knows what will happen if/when I get around to it.

SmedleyB Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm only a few weeks in on this hobby, and I've been playing on a 32" playfield that I'm very happy with. But there are a couple 40" 21:9 monitors out there now which basically have the same physical width as my current 32" but with additional length. I want to make sure I understand a couple things correctly. After spot checking some tables it seems that most creators stay in that ~960ish to ~2000-2100ish pixel playfield size range. Even most tables built from scratch stay in this range even though one might think that would be a good opportunity to fit to a more 16:9ish playfield. Anyway, assuming you could find a decent 21:9 monitor, once in place all I would need to do is go through each table and update its X/Y scale to better conform to the playfield size, and end result is I would be much closer to a real-world 1:1 ratio while utilizing the full size of the screen than I could ever get with a 16:9 monitor. And table elements that are a perfect circle in real life would actually look really close to a perfect circle on my screen. Is it that simple of a change, or am I missing anything?

MKEBri Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I found dimensional specs on this monitor. They were 41.7" x 22.5" including the bezel but not the stand. The bezel looks to be pretty thin, so it's possible that this could come pretty close to an actual standard playfield on width, and only a few inches shorter on length. I am genuinely intrigued, but would want to see and measure one in person. Has anybody gone with this monitor for their pin cab build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
