I am looking for help on choosing the best monitors for a triple screen setup.

I would like the monitors to be:

~24" (27" possible but not recommended due to cost)
~Thin bezel(thin as possible)
~vesa mount(absolute must)
~1080p

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Hi, May I ask the reason what you are using this setup for? I have 3x24" multi monitor setup and can perhaps advise you better if I know what you want to do.

These would be a default for gaming, productivity, and watching movies. I am teetering on getting a single larger tv ~42" or a 1440p or 1600p monitor to reduce overall cost of a new computer and GPU power necessary in the short and long term. At this moment I just am not really certain I play enough games where I feel like triple monitor would add immensely to my enjoyment even while remembering what I paid for it. If I do go single monitor I have a secondary monitor currently that I can use for productivity and such but it just isnt gaming caliber.

Hi I am busy thinking about replacing my 3x24" 1080p monitors with 1x27" 1440p or something similar. The 3 monitor setup has many problems, the main one for me is that in most games there is a fisheye effect on the side monitors and objects seem much closer than they are on your main monitor. This should be fixable by adjusting Horizontal and vertical FOV (Field of Vision) but I have spent way to many hours trying to do that and most of the time it doesnt work correctly. Many games cant even support multi monitors without some hack that you have to download and tweak. The result is often nice at first but causes nausea and motion sickness due to fish-eye effect. So I would much recommend you go for a large monitor.

I am not a big fan of 42" TVs used as a PC screen because the resolution is not great for such a large screen, and you have sit rather far away, and then you can really work on the screen without eyestrain. Hope this helps you dilemma.

Thank you. With what you have said combined with some reading that I have been doing I probably will also switch my purchase to a 27" 1440p. I was looking on ebay for the Korean monitors and I can deal with that price/size combo with high res

I just still have to deal with finding the proper gpu setup and motherboard. So far my purchase list looks like:

CM Storm Trooper
i5 4670k
Corsair HX1050(maaaybe AT1200i just because)
EVGA GTX 760 2gb SLI
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
Corsair H110


My motherboard(and ram) depend on if I will need a dedicated physx card at 1440p with gtx 760 sli. If frames remain solid even on gpu physx heavy games(Borderlands 2, B:AA, B:AC, Hawken, etc.) I can get a 2 way board but if I need a dedicated physx card as well do I need a 3/4 way board or will the physx card on a left over 4x slot not be a problem? Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I have changed my mind and decided to go for the Corsair H110 instead of the Noctua D14 or Phanteks phtc14pe. Tests seem to show it has the same thermal capacity, same noise level, fits in the storm trooper, and doesnt take up a lot of space in the middle of the board. The only thing is I am still watching out for board spacenear the rad once I select a board for sure.

It is unlikely that you would need a dedicated physx Card. With 1440p you will probably need those 760s in SLI. Then you can perhaps contemplate overclocking your screen to above 60hz. It will give you the best gaming performance if you go as close to 120hz as you can and have enough GPU power to get the average framerates over 60.

EDIT: I have recently overclocked my 24" montior from 60 to 75hz, which doesnt sound like much but it makes a huge difference in smoothness in games. Now I am contemplating of getting a 1440p 120hz monitor but sadly they are not available on the market yet.

Thanks. I have switched some parts on my build and am going to stick with a single 1440p screen. My build as of this moment is this.

I have just resigned myself to turning down setting when I want the full physx experience. It is already more money to go nvidia and the 770 and 780 just dont make sense to my situation right now monetarily just for physx since I can give up on physx entirely and go AMD and just ride it out until OpenCL is all the way there. Appreciate you help.
