Long time lurker, first time poster.
I like the look of Lewis Hamilton’s monitor on his rig.
Does anyone know if a widescreen monitor is plug and play on PS4?
I didn’t think it worked on console without bands on sides of screen.
Thanks in anticipation of answer from one of the many knowledgeable members!

All well and good but the stretched resolution on that widescreen monitor is jarring as hell

Worth noting he also set those Times the Day before the 1.57 Update dropped to prior to the Handling change.
Me personally I'm still yet to Download this but I'm doing so today to finally tackle them in my well earned down time!
So awesome to see him doing this. I'm huge Fan of his and It's always great to see.

Why would anyone play the game like that?! I mean, I realise I'm bothered by some things that many people aren't, but I'm truly baffled by how anyone could be happy playing a driving game with the graphics stretched like that!

So is there anyway to get widescreen monitor to render properly on PS4?

I'm not aware of any support for wider than 16:9. It would need significantly more GPU power to render the additional display area with the same quality as 16:9. A PS4 Pro would have enough power to do it at the same quality as a base PS4 does 16:9, but there might be hardware limitations that can't be overcome with software changes. I think PD would also be averse to providing a competitive advantage to people with wider screens, in the same way that they avoid a pattern shifter being able to provide a competitive advantage in sport mode.

Fingers crossed ps5 allows widescreen then

No. I have an ultra wide curved monitor and it only works on PC if the game supports it, it doesn't work on my PS4.
As far as I know, no console supports ultrawide at the moment.

I was wondering how come we weren't seeing our popular guys from GTsport events...guys like Fraga, Hizal and the rest, in the e-sport weekend events. And then I saw in this Hamilton article about "contractual obligations may preclude it" so that's probably why. I would have wanted to see them in the mix though.

Curious why he's totally swerving eSports

It might be contractual, seeing as he drives for F1 and all, he might not be allowed to enter.
Anyway, as long as he's enjoying himself 👍

A suggestion for Mr Hamilton, sign up for the Toyota Supra races.
See if he can keep up with the aliens on sports hards.

Renault has run events with some pro drivers, they were linked/listed here on this site too.
I enjoyed viewing them.

In my opinion the Cars in F1 19 have far better Physics, Tyre Model and FFB over the Cars in GTS.

No, although I don't mind the stretching on my regular widescreen monitor. An ultrawide would be too much horizontal stretch for me though.

That's because unlike the other Platforms, PD didn't put in any flexibility for it unlike everyone else. Their number 1 was the World Tour and without that, they have had nothing else to fall back on. The one huge drawback from this games singleminded focus is the lack of adaptability. Obviously for instance with the variety iRacing offers, it was always a matter of that perfect opportunity for it to really shine and it's perfectly adaptable for television (Though it helped that ironically NBC was already invested in it prior to all this so this was just a convenient situation).I'd say it's less of the typical try hard sim racer nonsense and more that GT Sport isn't flexible despite the FIA backing. You know what else has FIA backing? F1 2019. Clearly, it's less the backing and more what you can do with the platform.

I'm more concerned he's driving with bear feet! Is that so he can claw back time if he spins out?

PD did have their own thing setup for this year that was way above what the others have produced. But that relied on real world events which simply wasn't going to happen. And with the entire company focused on the PS5 it would have taken an extraordinary effort, and delay for other projects to turn the FIA races into something else. And then we have the car problem, in the GT World there is plenty of cars, but putting up a race with manufactory drivers but not the right cars weren't going to happen. F1 drivers is not going to compete in Lewis car, to bad PD didn't make a vanilla F1 car like in the old days, and GT-Sport is stuck in 2017 with old cars, save for the Supra.. that happens to have a championship
When you watch the other streams it really shows just how far ahead the GTS FIA Series, 30 fps broadcast with ****** graphics, bad production on almost every race, buggy games, and when there is a studio setup it looks cheap and the production is flaky. I still think it is fun to watch but i would pick the GTS Series any day.
