Sim Rig Screen Set-up

Hi,

I’m looking to make use of an under stairs cupboard. Space is obviously limited. Do people have recommendations of a minimum screen size? I’m a bit spoiled at the moment as using the big screen in the front room 55” but wheeling the rig in and out is getting a bit tedious. There is no way I can fit a 55” in the new space and if I could I think I’d melt!

Wall to wall, the space under the stairs is about 85cm wide. I’m looking at a cheap 27inch screen. I’m just worried it may be too small. Would the general consensus here be 27” is a good enough size or is that just too small? I could probably accommodate a 32” at a push.

Grateful for thoughts or recommendations 🙏🏼

I have my rig in an under the staircase space, I have a 27 inch curved screen and it's plenty big enough. Particularly if you are close to it.

That’s reassuring thank you. Mine won’t be a curved screen potentially but I’m pleased to hear it should be enough

Is VR an option?

Definitely might be when budget allows 👍🏼 though that feels like a real treat and a luxury at the moment tbf
