Hello!

Im currently planning on getting myself eyefinity. But I'm not sure on what monitors I should get etc.

However, a site got a GREAT deal on a 3x monitor table stand ( http://www.komplett.se/img/p/1200/9d...145223bd6c.jpg ) - They are charging 25 euro for it and to me, it's a steal considering the cheapest 3x monitor stand I can find beside this one is at 120 euro +

It's a great stand, it's clean and support 3 screens. Everything a eyefinity needs! However, it's limited to 13"to 22" with a 52.5cm max witdth.
It's a limited offer so I kinda have to decide fast with what kind of monitors I should run with.

So I got two options:
A ) I buy this stand and limit myself to screens with the specs the stands needs.
B ) I buy stands like these http://s3.pji.nu/product/right/800/496317.jpg (These costs about 25 euro each) and I can buy whatever size I kinda need. HOWEVER! It won't look as clean with 3 legs standing out.


Anyone can help me ease my mind? What would you do?

Do you have a specific reason for going with eyefinity? Do you have the video cards to drive an eyefinity setup at the resolution you want/need?

22" eyefinity almost seems like a waste to me unless you have a specific reason for needing it.

I want eyefinity because it looks cool and will prob. be kinda nice for a few games. I am going to buy a 7970 or 7990.

So what " should I am for to have "not a waste" eyefinity setup then?

Here's the list of games that "supports" Eyefiniity.

Personally I'd rather have a larger/better monitor that I'll be able to run with higher setting than Eyefinity - but it's your choice.

There are games (I'm thinking iRacing) that have advantages to using Eyefinity but in most cases I can't think of an advantage.

I'm not telling you shouldn't buy it but don't buy it just because you think it's "cool" unless you have $ to burn.

Most of my games are supported. Think it's one game I play thats not supported.

However.. what size do you suggest? Most people I've spoken to does not suggest going with anything higher than 24" because unless you go with 1440+ screens it will look to streatched.. but with 1440+ screens it will be VERY demanding on the GPU and you'll need like CF 7990 to get ultra on games such as bf3.


I have found this screen: Dell U2312HM - It's a 23" only tho, BUT it's one of the smallest beezles out there to a decent price... and thats something that I maybe should be going for? Less beezle.
