When it comes to building the ultimate sim racing setup, your monitor mount plays a critical role in achieving an immersive experience. If you’re using a Fanatec cockpit, particularly the ClubSport GT Cockpit or the CSL Cockpit, you’ll want a mount that’s rock solid, properly positioned, and integrates well with your gear. Let’s take a look at some of the best monitor mounting options.
Yes, the Fanatec GT Cockpit comes with a monitor mount, but it’s worth noting that it’s non-adjustable and only supports a single monitor. While this works for many, sim racers looking for more flexibility or a triple-monitor setup may find it limiting. It’s a clean, minimalist solution for entry-level or space-conscious builds.
Plans on releasing a separate monitor mount for the GT Cockpit are ongoing.
The Fanatec CSL Cockpit, designed with affordability and performance in mind, doesn’t include a monitor mount in its standard configuration. However, Fanatec offers two dedicated options to complete your setup—each with its own strengths depending on your preferences and available space.
The CSL Cockpit Monitor Holder is a compact, cockpit-mounted solution that attaches directly to the frame of your CSL Cockpit. It’s ideal for users who prefer an integrated design and want to keep their setup compact and tidy. The holder supports a single monitor and places the display in a fixed but practical position for focused driving. While it doesn’t offer the flexibility of a free-standing unit, it’s a great entry-level option for those with limited space.
For more adjustability and placement freedom, the CSL Cockpit Monitor Stand is the better choice. This is a free-standing mount that doesn’t attach to the cockpit frame, allowing you to position your monitor exactly where you want it—ideal for height, angle, and distance tuning. It’s also a solid choice for sim racers using ultrawide monitors or who might upgrade to a triple-screen setup in the future.
Both options support a single monitor, which could be a limitation for those aiming for a wider field of view with triples—but they’re excellent for streamlined, focused racing setups.
If you're aiming for a clean, high-performance sim rig with a premium feel, consider pairing a Corsair XENEON OLED or IPS gaming monitor with a heavy-duty Ergotron arm, which Corsair often recommends for their displays. The Ergotron arm allows for fluid movement, rotation, and precision placement—great for ultrawide or curved setups where viewing angles are crucial.
Corsair’s high refresh rate monitors (like the XENEON 32UHD144) are not just visually stunning; they offer the clarity and smoothness needed to spot every apex in your favorite sim titles.
While the included Fanatec mount is a decent starting point, sim racers seeking the best experience often opt for free-standing or arm-mounted displays for better positioning and immersion. Pairing Fanatec’s hardware with Corsair’s premium displays and adjustable mounts ensures your visuals are as high-performing as your pedals and wheel base.
