Is it like graphics card ? that if you have a GTX 780 then if you want to Sli you need another GTX 780 ; or can we use any 2 or 3 monitors (of the same resolution but different refresh rate )?

Correct. It might look a bit iffy though if you have different settings for each monitor. Like if you have a TN panel and IPS panel set-up. One side is bright and vivid, full of color while the other is just plain bland.

If you can deal with that, then you can set-up dual screens with just about anything.

You can use any monitor, any refresh rate, any size, and any cable. Sometimes 3 way setups people like to keep the same monitor if they are gaming with 3 way surround for consistency when gaming with all 3 at once.

Personally I have a big monitor and another different smaller one on the right for reading/extra windows.

Okay, I have one IPS panel already, and I'm getting another 2 LED monitors for FPS games. Is there anything like a standard stand for keeping them together ? or do people get them custom made ? (Or I suppose I could just keep it on a table :/ )

There are tons of triple monitor stands being sold all around. Some of the best ones are made by Ergotech. Go check them out if you're interested.

This should only be an option if you don't have enough desk space for 3 monitors.
