Quick verdict: If you want a compact three-screen layout mounted directly to a compatible cockpit, the SIMGASM CORE Integrated Triple is the less expensive route at €219 in black. If you need independent placement and broader listed VESA patterns, the SIMGASM APEX Free Standing Triple costs €349. These are not direct substitutes: one attaches to the chassis and the other stands independently.
The difference that matters most: where the screens are supported
CORE Integrated Triple is built around a cockpit-attached monitor structure with side arms. Its listed support covers VESA 75 × 75 and 100 × 100 mm. APEX Free Standing Triple uses its own stand frame, so monitor height and distance can be adjusted separately from the wheel and pedal frame, with stated VESA 75, 100 and 200 mounting compatibility. Check individual panel dimensions, weight and the hardware instructions rather than assuming every screen in a VESA category fits automatically.

Use cases
Small dedicated GT cockpit: CORE is a logical space-saving solution if your cockpit and monitors are compatible. Motion-equipped rig: independent screen placement may be preferable, subject to the safety requirements of your specific motion system. Large screens or a combined workstation: APEX gives greater mounting-pattern range and stand-position flexibility.
Which would we choose?
For a typical compact triple-screen cockpit with supported VESA 75/100 panels, CORE Integrated Triple is the budget-oriented pick. For adjustable independent placement, APEX Free Standing Triple is the better fit. Check both CORE and APEX and browse the monitor stand collection.
