hi guys,

im building my first gaming rig and im currently looking for a good monitor to buy and saw this on sale. Is this a good monitor to buy? Also, will i be able to run a 2/3 monitor setup with this. I'll be using a r9 280x gpu.

**Offtopic: if ever i buy only 2 monitors, and plan on getting a 3rd one in the future, but this is not available anymore, will i still be able to run a 3 monitor setup with a different monitor brand?

All monitors work, whether the brand is same or not.
I literally had a dual monitor setup with my main monitor and TV. Worked great.

With only VGA and HDMI you can only run two of these monitors at once. I attached a link to Tom's Hardware Triple monitor set up guide for reference as to why.

You can run three completely different monitors in a triple monitor setup, technically. The only issue that you may have is size difference making them off center and the specs/quality of the monitors not matching and looking bad.

I've set up a 23in and 13in HDTV's in dual monitor setup when i was strapped for cash, it just looked awful.

And finally as to the monitor itself, it looks good.
