I really don't understand picking that over VR. VR gives you so many more options for way cheaper.
With VR all my attempts at a cab recreation are wasted.
So, because I already spent lots of money, I wanted to honor it by spending more money. Hehe.
I don't know. Whatever. It's certainly not for me. I get doing all that before good VR was an option. But now a VR headset and a motion rig feels like a way better use if you want to spend alot of money on it. And no motion rig if you don't. But, I can comfortably wear VR for 10+ hours and didn't even have to train away motion sickness or anything. So, of course, VR seems great to me.
There is also the option of a Quest pro. I don't know exactly what a multi-monitor setup like this costs, but a brand new Quest pro is 900$. It's purpose built for blending your physical work space with a virtual one. Loading up 4 virtual monitors, or one really wide curved one if you prefer that, and putting them/it 20 feet away for eye comfort is also an option if you don't want stuff to be 3D/harder to run.
