| Post subject: | Best 3 monitor eyefinity setup currently. |
Dear forum, I've been trawling the internet now for a few months on and off, trying to find the general consensus on what is the best three monitor setup for gaming. I came across the Samsung MD230x3, thinking this was the answer to my questions, only to read a review claiming that it doesn't handle quick motion too well at all. Seeing as though my main focus will be FPS games, this is a concern. I've read about people using three Dell 24inch Ultrasharps, but I would say the bezel width would be problematic in FPS games. Are there any other eyefinity centric setups that would fly under the radar? Has anyone heard any news about newer versions similar to the MD230x3 coming out soon? This is basically the last component for my new PC I'm building. Thanks WSGF, appreciate your help, Finn |

I am using 3 Dell U2410 displays and the bezels do not bother me one bit. I play mostly FPS games, if you've got the money the Dells are a great way to go. |

Any IPS panel is nice. The bezel on those 2410's is only 12mm or so. |

I've seen some handsome Samsungs (S27A750D), they fit some sort of bill I guess; low response, thin bezel, 120hz. However, the resolutions they list as 'recommended' is only 1920 x 1080. Why is it so difficult to find a decent 23-27 inch, thin bezel, low ms and possibly 120hz screen with decent resolution? |

I'm looking at the dell 27inch Ultrasharps, as they have 2560x1440- but apparent reports of some ghosting. How important would 2560x1440 be over 3 monitors? Overkill? A lot of 27inch monitors only support 1920x1080, is this more than enough? I own a 3008WFP (Dell 30inch), so am used to 2560x1440. The Samsung S27A750D seems to be a good option if 1920x1080 is plenty. Good colours, good contrast, well priced, minimal input lag, 120hz and low ms. The S27A950D I think just has additional inputs, which I won't need as the 6970s has displayport. |

Dell U2411 is 1920x1080 and is a very good/cheap IPS panel, I would just go with that. No point in going with 27" @ 1920x1080 since you're just paying more for the same resolution (and that's all that matters). If you're gonna whip out more money go all the way to 2560x1440/1600 instead. |

What your saying makes sense. However the Dell U2410 retails for $700, whereas the Samsung S27A950D retails for $540. To go to the Dell 27inch, is $800. Wouldn't the super think bezel, 2ms response, no input lag and price make the samsung a better choice? |

Dell U2412M's are the current bang for the buck IPS DP panels that I would recommend. |

Dell U2412M's are the current bang for the buck IPS DP panels that I would recommend. Dell U2311H - $319 on dell.com Dell U2412M - $399 on dell.com That's 25% more expensive for 11% more pixels. Please help us understand your math. |

Don't forget that jumping up from the 1920x1080 resolution will also hurt your fps quit a bit. I would never recommend to anyone wanting to run and eyefinity setup to go with a resolution higher than 1920x1080 monitors. The performance suffers too much. |
