Sim Racing Triple Screen Sizes: Complete Buyer's Guide

We all know that a sim racing triple screen setup is the best experience you can build. Full, immersive, surround-screen perspective. Comfort. Performance you can actually count on race after race.

You unfortunately can't say the same for VR. And I say "unfortunately" because VR really could be the future of sim racing. But right now? The reliability just isn't there, and the amount of computing power you need to push a 1440p-equivalent headset is honestly wild compared to a triple screen sim racing monitor setup. Headsets fog up, batteries die, tracking drifts. A triple monitor setup just... works.

But that's not what we're here to talk about today. Today we're talking sizes. Specifically, what triple screen size is actually right for you.

What Sizes You Should Steer Away From

Let's get the "don'ts" out of the way first.

In my humble opinion, the smallest screen size you should even consider for a turnkey racing simulator is triple 32-inch monitors. Anything smaller — we're talking 24s or 27s — is going to feel small. Almost childish, honestly. You lose that true immersive driver feeling that makes triple screen worth doing in the first place. So if you're building a full turnkey setup, or upgrading an existing rig to triples, skip the 24s and 27s entirely.

On the other end, I'd cap things around 55-inch screens for most setups. If you're running a Stewart platform simulator — the kind that actually moves and lifts into the air — you can push up to 65s or even 77s, since those rigs are built for a bigger footprint. But for standard, smaller-footprint aluminum extrusion sim rigs, 55-inch is about as big as you want to go before things get impractical.

What You Should Actually Go With

Alright, now that we've covered what not to do, let's get into it.

I'm not here to tell you there's one "right" answer. What I want to do is walk you through the most common sizes people are actually running, along with the real-world stats, so you've got everything you need to make an educated decision for your own sim racing triple screen build.

As a general rule across all of these, look for monitors with:

A response time of 1ms or faster

A refresh rate of at least 144Hz

Native support for 75mm or 100mm VESA mounts, so they'll actually bolt onto a proper monitor stand

And speaking of stands — this matters more than people think. Get yourself an extremely sturdy monitor stand, like the ones we run from ASR. A stand that sags to save you a couple bucks will…
