You'll get worse performance with a bigger monitor, and worse image, due to refresh rates being lower with larger screens and also avoid plasma.
22" is optimum for todays cards unless your talking HIGH end cards.

A simple solution to creating a sense of speed would be to have post process and a very slight motion blur at the edge of the screens. If it could be turned on or off by choice that is
No one said it was a cheap solution

Adding the blur and some kind of post process to speed up the rate at which the pixels move on the outer edges of your monitor would probably look seriously weird and cause all sorts of weird visual stretching in every view. If you don't speed up the movement of the outer image past the view, then all you do is get blurry slowness, not more speedy visual effect I think.

Probably the easiest thing to do is fly with no cockpit view. That way, you'll see the stuff passing under you, which is closer, which will move quicker.

Or fly looking sideways out the window. Don't worry, those trees won't hurt a bit.
