Triple 27″ vs 32″ for Sim Racing

Open in Screen Planner

Thinking about triples? The most common decision is whether to start with 27″ or go straight to 32″.

  • Upgrading from 27″ → 32″: Expect a clear bump in immersion (more vertical cockpit view and more peripheral coverage) at the cost of extra width and slightly softer picture at the same distance.

  • First triple setup: Choose size by space and mounts first, resolution second. Sticking to 1440p on either size avoids GPU bottlenecks and keeps FPS high. 27″ panels are easier to fit and razor-sharp up close; 32″ feels bigger and more “wraparound” if you have the room.

Practical Takeaways

  • What you gain (27″ → 32″): about +12° H-FOV and +2.7° V-FOV, with a slightly tighter side angle (~59° → ~63° per side).

  • Distance tweak: Sliding back ~5 cm with 32″ keeps geometry sane while still giving you a bigger FOV.

  • Tight on space? Choose 27″: compact, sharp, easy to mount.

  • Have the room? Choose 32″: usually a small extra cost for noticeably better immersion and peripheral coverage.
