Consider a VR-Headset instead of a monitor. It's a whole different level of immersion.

My screens are pretty old, I run at 1680x1050 on both, they, or my video card are before 4k, but even at 1680 x 1050 its plenty sharp and clear, and a low (lmao low resolution, i remember windows 98 running 640x480 resolution and going up to 1024x768 was mindblowing) resolution helps out with framerates in fs2020 on my older rig.
Ive played xplane 11 in VR on my brothers HTC Vive headset, and besides almost falling straight over from vertigo as i rotated off the runway (definitely be seated for flightsim in VR), it was pretty amazing, besides the rather shitty resolution of a VR headset. And you damn near require a throttle quadrant to go with your joystick or yoke, whatever you got. In Xplane VR, you push a button on your hand units while engaged with a control and it locks them together, so it was pretty easy to lock onto the yoke and throttle in a 172, but when i tried flying a 747, the hand lock locked onto 1 of the 4 throttles and that wasnt a good time on final as you can imagine. Pretty much gonna need a throttle quadrant to properly enjoy FS in VR in my opinion
