I'm looking at the similar sort of choice in the near future except, since I already have a 2407 (which I want to use as an additional monitor rather than as part of the eyefinity group) and love the quality of the display, I don't want to step down to TN panels.

Hence I'm looking at the prospect of 3 x U2410s - just a shame it's so much more than the 23" TN panel... Could get a full six of those for less than the cost of three U2410s :(

Unless someone can persuade me that the 23" TN panel is really very good (i.e. good viewing angles in both landscape and portrait, good colour etc. - is it a true 8 bpp panel or 6 bpp with dithering?)

Trouble with that Acer 3D screen is that, like many other manufacturers, they decided to go for a non uniform bezel which means that it causes problems for portrait use in that multiple screens can't be butted together neatly. Give us plain, square, thin bezels!!!

If it helps Magic Man I took a massive step down from my previous NEC panel to these TN's, and once you've settled down the brightness/contrast, they aren't really that bad (in comparison).

I'll take some pictures tonight of angles etc so you can see how mine are (P2310H and ST2310's)

i got 2 of my 2210H refurbs today. They look fine to me. I am comparing them both a Dell 30" and Dell 24 higher-end panels.

Yeah, they are not as good, but if you are just going to game or watch movies on them, they seem fine to me. I did a little test with 2 monitors in eyefinity even though you can't really play that way. It was easy to setup and neat. I also watched a 1080P movie on one and it looked fine.

3rd comes at end of week. I'll give a real eyefinity review then.

Destroyer,

For MW2 you need dopefish's widescreen fixer program for it to work. Make sure you have Microsoft .net framework 3.5 installed. The link is here http://wsf.imk.cx/

You need to create your eyefinity group in the ATI Catalyst Control Center for the correct desktop resolution of 5760 X 1080. There are videos on youtube on how to do this. If you need help let me know I can get you the right video.
