Need some help choosing three monitors for multi display.
8 replies, posted
I've recently been looking into multi displays for gaming and just all around ease of use since I got my new job.
I have five monitors on my desk, two assigned to my stress testing machine (Which I play games on when I've got nothing important to do with my colleagues) and three monitors for my work PC so I can monitor everything such as emails and server status.

The most monitors we have rigged up is five for our monitoring PC.

These monitors are really nice at 1440 x 900 but I wanted a 1920 x 1080 setup preferably 3 screens, I was looking at the 24" range for a monitor with HDMI ports and DVI ports.
So far I've been looking at three of these

But I'm not sure if I should get something else or if there is a better choice or if 24" is bad and I should go lower/higher.
Can I have some suggestions or recommendations with links to the products if possible or just some feedback on my choice.
If you're gonna go higher, you'll need to delve into 2560x1080 territory and that might be overkill (let alone trying to drive 3 screens that resolution).
24 inch should serve you just fine, whether you get 1920x1080 or 1920x1200.
Anything higher than 24" won't fit on my desk very well from what I've measured from my current 24" tv.

3x2560x1080 for non-gaming use? I don't see the problem?

Wait, shit, I read that wrong.
Could look into those korean WQHD 27" monitors at around 300 USD, and just have the other monitors of yours in portrait mode.

So realistically I'm looking at 3x 1920 x 1080 [B]preferably 24"[/B] because my desk isn't that large. I've got OCD of some kind so having portrait monitors will make me cry. And I can't go over £400 ≈ $650 to be quite honest.

Yeah sorry, I got confused. It sounded like you were interested in it because of gaming, and realised that you could use a proper setup at work. But I highly doubt you would use more than one monitor for gaming? specially in a workplace
Okay I've completely confused you.
This is purely for when I am at home. My computers at work cannot support Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround because we've got some cheap graphics cards.
I was just saying that my new workplace has given me multiple screens and I cannot deal with using just one anymore.
I'd probably only use one screen for most games but I would like to try using all three.
I just need some recommendations on what to go for.
