What Is the PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit and Do You Need It?

Quick Answer

The PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit adds a fourth monitor arm above your centre screen on a GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount, turning a triple setup into a quad layout. Buy it if you already run three matched screens and want a dedicated display for telemetry, standings, or a wider vertical view. Skip it if you are still on one or two screens, or if your stand is not the PRIME mount it is designed for.

Adding a fourth screen is one of the few sim rig upgrades that changes how much information you can see at once without changing how the car feels. The PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit exists for exactly that job: it is a single additional arm that mounts a fourth monitor above your centre display on a triple-screen setup.

The catch is that a quad layout is not automatically better than a triple. It depends on your stand, your screen sizes, and what you actually want that fourth panel to do. This guide walks through the real decision points so you can work out whether the kit belongs on your rig or your wishlist.

What the PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit Actually Adds

This is not a full monitor stand and it is not a replacement for your existing arms. It is one extra arm, designed to be used on triple monitor configurations, that lets you mount a fourth screen above your centre monitor. GT Omega lists it as quick and easy to install on a Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount, which means it builds on hardware you already own rather than duplicating it.

Because it is a single-arm upgrade, the practical question is not whether it works, but whether your current stand and screens leave room for it. If you are starting from scratch, you are better off planning the full mount first and treating the quad arm as a later addition.

• Designed specifically for triple monitor configurations, not as a standalone mount
• Adds one screen position above the centre monitor
• Fits the GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand and Integrated Monitor Mount

The Real Reasons to Run a Fourth Screen

A quad layout earns its place when you want information that does not fit comfortably across three screens. Telemetry overlays, relative timing, fuel and tyre data, or a stream chat window can all live on the top screen while your three main panels stay clean and focused on the track. That separation is the main appeal of a sim racing quad upgrade.

The second reason is vertical immersion. Some drivers prefer a taller field of view that covers more of the cockpit and horizon, and a centre screen mounted above the middle display can support that. What it will not do is widen your horizontal field of view, so if your complaint is that you cannot see cars alongside you, a fourth screen above the centre is the wrong fix.

• Best for separating telemetry and race data from your driving view
• Useful for streamers who want a dedicated chat or camera feed
• Not a substitute for wider horizontal coverage

Fit Guidance Before You Buy

The kit is built for GT Omega's Simulator Monitor Stand and Integrated Monitor Mount. If your screens are on a desk clamp, a generic VESA stand, or a wall bracket, this arm is not the part you need. Check your existing mount first, because no amount of adjustment will make an incompatible stand accept it.

Weight and screen size matter too. A fourth screen adds load to the top of the stand, and the further the screen sits from the upright, the more leverage it applies. GT Omega does not publish a maximum screen size for this arm in the catalog information available, so treat that as a decision limitation: if you run very large or unusually heavy panels, confirm suitability with GT Omega before ordering rather than assuming it will hold.

• Confirm you own a GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount
• Match your fourth screen roughly to your existing three for a consistent look
• Ask about weight limits if your screens are larger than typical sim racing sizes

What It Costs You Beyond the Price

Every upgrade has a hidden cost, and here it is setup time and cable management. A fourth screen means another display cable, another power lead, and another arm to align so the bezels and angles look intentional rather than improvised. Budget an evening for the first install if you like your cable runs tidy.

There is also a GPU consideration. Driving four displays instead of three increases the load on your graphics card, and if you are already near the limit at triple 1440p, adding a fourth panel may force you to lower settings. That trade-off is worth thinking about before you spend, not after.

• Plan for one extra display cable and one extra power connection
• Check your GPU has a spare output and enough headroom
• Align the new arm carefully so the layout looks deliberate

Where This Fits in a Wider Upgrade Plan

If you are working through a cockpit upgrade guide, prioritise in this order: a stable rig, a solid wheelbase mount, then displays. A fourth screen on a rig that still flexes under braking is money spent in the wrong place. Get the foundation right first, and the quad arm becomes a genuine improvement rather than a distraction.

For most drivers, the sensible sequence is triple screens, then a quick-release mounting solution to make screen changes easier, then the quad arm once the rest of the layout is settled. That way you are adding to a setup you already trust.

• Fix rig stability and wheel mounting before adding displays
• Settle your triple layout first so the fourth screen has a clear job
• Treat the quad arm as a finishing upgrade, not a starting point

Decision Rules

• You already run three screens on a GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount: This is the exact configuration the PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit is designed for, and installation is described as quick and easy on those mounts. Buy it.
• You want a dedicated screen for telemetry, timing, or stream chat: A fourth panel above the centre monitor keeps your three driving screens clean while race data stays visible at a glance. Buy it, and plan your overlay layout before it arrives.
• You are still on one or two screens: The kit is a single additional arm for triple configurations, not a complete monitor mounting solution. Build your triple setup first.
• Your screens are on a desk clamp, wall bracket, or non-GT Omega stand: The arm is intended for the GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand and Integrated Monitor Mount. Skip it until your mount matches.
• Your main complaint is limited horizontal visibility: A screen above the centre monitor adds vertical coverage, not width. Reconsider your triple screen angles instead.
• You run very large or heavy panels: GT Omega does not publish a maximum screen size for this arm in the available catalog information. Confirm weight suitability with GT Omega before ordering.

Product Facts

• PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit: The Quad Monitor Upgrade is quick and easy to install on your Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount, and is designed to be used on triple monitor configurations to mount an extra fourth screen above your centre monitor. It only makes sense if you already run three screens on a compatible GT Omega mount, so check your existing stand before ordering.
• PRIME Monitor Quick Mount: The PRIME Monitor Quick Mount simplifies screen installation by letting you attach one half of the mount to your screen and the other to your stand, then hang the screen and let gravity do the work. If you find holding a screen steady while bolting it in place awkward, this makes the whole monitor installation process, including a fourth screen, far easier to manage alone.
• M8 Ball Spring T-Nuts (Set of 8): Aluminium roll-in T-nuts for GT Omega aluminium profile cockpits and the Simulator Monitor Stand, with a spring-loaded ball bearing that holds the nut in position while you tighten your bolt, supplied in both 10mm and 11.4mm sizes. A small, cheap part that removes most of the frustration from adjusting monitor arms on aluminium profile, and worth having spare before you start the install.

Who Should Buy It

Best for

• Drivers who already run three matched screens on a GT Omega Simulator Monitor Stand or Integrated Monitor Mount
• Sim racers who want telemetry, timing, or stream chat on a separate screen without cluttering the driving view
• Anyone building out a GT Omega PRIME setup who wants a taller, more information-rich display layout

Not for

• Drivers on one or two screens who still need a full triple monitor mounting solution
• Rigs using desk clamps, wall brackets, or non-GT Omega monitor stands
• Anyone whose priority is wider horizontal visibility rather than extra vertical screen space

The PRIME Quad Upgrade Kit is a focused, sensible addition for one specific situation: you already run three screens on a compatible GT Omega mount and you want a fourth panel above the centre. If that describes your rig, it is an easy yes. If it does not, spend the money on the foundation first, then come back to the quad arm once your triple layout is settled.
