I need some advise on what size monitor to go for before i but triplehead 2go. I've currently got a Dell 2405 24" monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1200. Is it best to buy two additional 24" monitors or to buy 3 22" monitors that run at the correct native resolution?

If i was to stick with the 24" can anyone tell me what the quality of the upscaled image would be like. If i run my Dell at 1680x1050 it doesn't luck to pretty, would it look any better at that resolution through the triplehead 2go?

Any help would be appreciated.

The 2405WFP is getting on a bit now, so your monitors won't be a good match unless you manage to source more 2405s. Scaling won't look any better through the triplehead, so the image quality you're experiencing now at 1680x1050 is what you'd get through a triplehead. Native resolution is the ideal, though 5040x1050 isn't without issue...so check you've got an nvidia graphics card capable of the resolution and the screens you order are 57Hz capable (ideally in this thread).

Thanks for the advice, running at that resolution i hope wont be a problem i've got a 1GB BFG 280 GTX H2OC and a watercooled Quad Core running at 3.2Ghz.

Having looked around i think i may go for 3 x 22" Neovo H-W22 Widescreen LCD, Thin bezel, 1680x1050 monitors. They run at 55-75hz. From what i've read they're a good monitor for the price.

Do you know of any issues with these monitors and triplehead?

I only know my own screens really (which are less than optimal), if it isn't in the thread I linked to I'm clueless.
