I have a AOC e2795vh with a 22inch samsung 226bw but want to move towards nvidia surround.

looking to get 3 screens but havent a clue where to go, or what to get,

or whether to go with just another 22inch monitor!!

would look towards 23/4inches with hdmi

Yeah, many of the best models are a year or two old. Infact one of the earliest gaming monitors (from back in 2006) still has faster response than many newer models. You can't buy those new any more though. For a more modern option I'd recommend the MX239H or PB238Q. You'll like the design of the MX239H!

Go to Newegg.com and narrow it down to the best two or three that you can afford and then look at some of the newegg user feedback and online review site reviews. 150 quid is about $225 US, so make sure that you factor in shipping costs to the UK. For that money, if I were you I'd get another 22 inch. and then down the road get a 24 inch to use as the middle monitor with the 22 inchers on the side.

Best British online hardware retailers:

scan.co.uk
aria.co.uk
novatech.co.uk
dabs.com
ebuyer.com

I'd hugely recommend the ASUS ML239H which you can get for £150. With Trace Free set at 40 you'll get excellent response, combined with exceptional colour quality. And you'll want IPS viewing angles when you're using a triple-screen setup!

It is indeed - I only recommend IPS and PLS :) And agreed - 27" either means poor pixel density and equal gaming performance with 1080p or equal pixel density and worse performance with 1440p (unless you drop quality settings or game at 1080p of course).

My brother has an LG IPS (not that one though) and it's really nice. The ASUS has the fastest response though and still IPS quality. You don't like your choice of retailers there?

EDIT: Didn't notice your bezel question there. Only side bezel matters for multiple screens. Think about it ;-)

i know just ive never had a monitor with a thick bottom to the screen if that makes sense, and looks like it makes the monitor look very chunky, ill have a read of the reviews :)

also id probably buy new, many of these are end of life
