Gaming monitor x 3 for Eyefinity setup

I am looking for advice (brand + model) for getting 3 monitors for my new Eyefinity setup (using 2 HD5770 in CrossFireX).

budget is around $700-$1000
I know I need DisplayPort but would be opened to suggestions for 3 monitors+DP adapter or 3 monitors w/DP

Also I do play games and the Eyefinity setup would be used mainly for gaming

I already own a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw which I've been using for almost 5 years and find it great for games. If I can reuse this one would be great (I know I will have to get all my monitors to 1680x1050 and that's fine)

thanks for any help

PS: I was looking at ASUS VE276Q or VE278Q but reviews were mixed especially when using DisplayPort and dead pixels)
