saving up to spend out on 3 identical monitors to game on, but the problem is I can't find one that catches my eye (in the UK). Looking for any suggestions :). If possible good response rate, under £200 and above 21". Thanks in advance anyone :)

I use 3 - Asus VE248H 24" Monitors for Eyefinity @ 6048 x 1080 (5760x1080 w/bezel adjustment). These have a response time of 2ms GTG, Horizontal Refresh Rate of 30 - 83 kHz, Vertical Refresh Rate of 50 - 76 Hz and a Horizontal Refresh Rate of 60Hz @ 1080p which is how they are run. They were on sale for $179 in late 2010 when I bought them but, they are no longer made.

Eyefinity w/3 or more monitors is in my opinion is far more immersive than any single monitor regardless of how high the resolution for that single monitor is and I don't understand why anyone would want to play anything on 2 monitors. For me the logical succession after one monitor is three.

With one monitor directly in front and two more on either side angled...

I have a single 27", 2560x1440 monitor and I'd far rather game on it than three monitors which aren't as high and have gaps between them.

If you have an NVidia card then the Asus ROG Swift is the best gaming monitor there is (620pounds):

GSync technology is really amazing to make gaming smoother.

There are much cheaper non-GSync monitors at this resolution as well though 6ms should be the maximum response time for gaming:

Not sure if the BenQ listed is new but it's pretty cheap. Couldn't find any reviews. Otherwise the ASUS is the best one:

1080p?
Again, I don't recommend triple-monitor gaming but if certain:
1) 6ms or less response time
2) 144Hz or 60Hz?
3) TN vs IPS
4) Quality (see comments/ user score)

It can get a bit confusing so I'll just leave it there.

With one monitor directly in front and two more on either side angled slightly towards you it is so immersive that at first you may be in danger of getting motion sickness. It takes some getting used to, It really is that immersive!

You will need an active DisplayPort to DVI adapter for Eyefinity unless your monitors already have a DisplayPort input and for most video cards you also want a DVI input on your monitors.

I like this monitor "ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 3D Monitor Height&pivot adjustable 350 cd/m2 80,000,000:1" @ $269.99 It has it all, Great specs and even 3D and it's within your budget (£200 = $311.60 USD) unless it costs considerably more where you are.

Here are two cheaper choices that have pretty much the same inputs and specs that mine has:
"ASUS VS Series VS247H-P Black 23.6" 2ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000000:1 (ASCR) $169.99 "

And

"ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1 $189.99 "

I hope these are available and within your budget where you live. Good luck!

The ASUS VN247H is a nice looking monitor the only issue that I see is it dosen't have any DVI ports (HDMI and VGA only) or anything stating the refresh rate.

The AOC G2460PQU has nothing on the ASUS VG248QE CK both specs.

EDIT: The poster that the top two comments are in reference to deleted his post.

I did find this on amazon UK though : "ASUS VE248H 24 inch LED Widescreen Full HD 1080p with HDMI 2ms Response Time £151.17 + FREE UK delivery"
These are the same monitors I have. I have been very happy with them.

More: "Asus VE247H 24" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor £123.59 inc. VAT"
