Triple 24' screen?

[wajdi1977]

Hi guys,i need your help!
I'm planning to switch to a triple 24" screen setup but i have a question to do:
What is the ideal angle between the frontal screen and the other two lateral screens?
Look at this sketch:

I mean angle A

The distance of my eyes from the central/frontal screen will be abuot 1.2m!

thanks

The angle the monitors form tends to be less the farther your are from them. Most guys like to have their eyepoint in the center of the two outer screens. See these diagrams:

I have 3 28" screens and I sit about 39" from them. The angles are ~35 degrees or so.

NB - of course, some may like a flatter presentation, and you should take into consideration native bezel compensation and if your sim of choice will allow you substantial control over your FOV and bezel compensation settings. iRacing and Live for Speed have excellent FOV settings and take into consideration the dimension of the screens, angles between them and viewing distance. Many other sims do not and are about 45 degrees of view without control over it.

If you belong to iracing you should check this thread out.http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/1992610.page It got me to completely redo my setup, and I must say it is much better than the 45 degrees I was using. Im at about 68 degrees with 23" monitors about 22" away with fov at 170. So much better now was at 150 fov. Alot of good info in there.

Yeah while I was watching it I was also trying to figure out how to rearrange my setup.

One of the most important settings is the location of your eyes relative to the height of the screens. I've found that your eyes have to be positioned at the very center of screens (midway between top and bottom) for everything to line up and not be angled up or down.
