New 2K monitor results

It really makes a huge difference. Here's the approach and landing on a planet just now:










Here's my ship on a better lit planet:

Nice!

Ordered in a longer cable and put the old 27 inch on the left side so I don't have to constantly alt-tab out of the game for other things.

It's pretty cool actually. It'll take some time getting used to, but that's OK because it's taking me a long time to get used to the HOTAS system.

Are you running two different resolutions? One large desktop?

Two different resolutions.

The old monitor is a 1080p. I use it to do all my apps and the like. For example, I'm full screen still on Elite Dangerous Odyssey on the 2k monitor while I type this.

Used to, I've have to alt-tab out and back in and all that jazz.

The really cool part is being able to leave my Elite Observatory and EDDiscovery windows open on the 1080 monitor and see it at a glance rather than having to alt tab all the time to see them.

Hopefully, there will come a day where I'll have 3 4K monitors for a surround view and a 5th for my apps and web surfing.

Don't underestimate any tablets as a tertiary screen.

I don't do tablets. My son has one, but he's the only one in the house that has ever owned one.

I use (still) for the odd time an old ASUS tablet with attachable keyboard. Runs Win8.1. Had it for about 7-9 years now.
