60inch Plasma Television

[vybhav]

Dear Friends

I am looking at purchasing 60 inch plasma television for use with FSX and have a few questions for which I need guidance:

A. If I decide to use 3 60 inch plasma television would I be able to use TH2Go matrox to run at 1080p? The reason I ask this question since I understand the display rate of plasma television is substantially higher than 60hz which I believe is the limit to render HD. If TH2GO is not an option what could be solution for use with 3 monitors on nvidia graphics card.

B. the other option I am thinking is use of 4 60 inch Plasma television to run 1080p. What would be the way to achieve wrap around view? Would matrox again be the only solution? Would there be any issues?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the updates really useful. Any idea on 4 monitor setup?

Just to check - do you definitely mean plasma, or do you just mean large flat screen TV, ie LCD / LED technology? Because it's worth pointing out that plasmas are very heavy, a 60" plasma will be extremely heavy, and 4 of them will probably weigh twice as much as the rest of your sim put together. You'll need some heavy-duty bracketing to keep those in place.

And to add to "neilh's" comment. LCD / LED technology has come a long ways. Picture qualities are amazing, contrast ratio is out of this world, well almost.... ;)

LG will be making available soon, if not already, a 60" 1/4 inch deep.

I have always liked plasma over lcd of any variety, either CC or led backlit. If I had to have one or the other for my critical movie watching it would be a nice plasma.

Now, as far as they go for this kind of applications I would go with LCD myself. LED lcd's are thin and look very good.

Today I viewed dcs a10 and iracing on a few 55" hdtv's. They looked fine on the LCD but as I expected I was distracted by the noise of the pixels on the plasma. It's a noise that can be seen close up but not at a distance you would normally watch TV. Unfortunately it is visible at a distance that I would use it for a monitor in a sim pit and entirely ruins it for me as far as simming goes.
