I'm new to sim racing ( still getting set up ). I was wondering which is the better setup, 3, 20 inch monitors or 1 big screen. I also had a question about GTP. The game runs well by itself, but is there a way for it to run through nr 2003. When I play nr2003, at the beginning of the game where you choose the series you want to race I have the options, GTP, REDLINE GTP, and GTP 24. These always crash the game where all the other series don't. I hope I have made some sense Thanks Dave

Three monitors work very well. I'm running 19" monitors now. IMO, either will be OK for racing sims. For flight sims i'd go with a big screen setup for the reasons below. My primary advice if going the triple screen route is to make sure you don't get wide screen monitors. I find triple screen to be claustrophobic in the vertical direction even with standard aspect ratio monitors. Three monitors works fine for racing sims where you don't really need to look up or down. The lack of vertical range on triple screen setups becomes more obvious in flight sims. I've never had a single big screen setup, so I can't compare the two options directly. If you are planning on using a big screen I think you want to make sure it sits as close behind the steering wheel as possible to maximise peripheral vision.
