Hello I am going to use three monitors for an eyefinity gaming setup for my dual 5870's in crossfire.
I am aiming to have all the monitors the same size. either 19 inch, 20 inch or 22 inch... Most likley 22inch

I don't really know what monitors are good though. Obviously I am looking for thin bezels. I would prefer if they were all the same monitors.
And of course I am on a budget sadly. $ 600 is the highest i will go. so pretty much about $200 per monitor. Most likely I will game in landscape but the swivel 90 degree thing would be cool IF ever i wanted to try it out. So what are your recommendations and is their anything else i should consider when buying a monitor besides the resolution and response time?

I also want them to all have HDMI. For the third monitor I am going to use an active adapter for the third monitor. Any one know where i can get a display port to hdmi active adapter?

do you have any model names?
I can't really tell too accurately if the bezels are thin or not.
I need thin bezels or else the image will look bad with a huge gap between the actual screens.

if you have a $200 budget, I would recommend getting the ASUS VH242H. I'm have two of them now, waiting for more money to get that third one.

They are great, 23.6'' and 16:9 aspect ratio.

Also! Once you remove the case/bezel. It significantly decreases the space between monitors. Check out my thread where I took the monitor apart to find out exactly how much bezel you can lose.
