Hello all, I was referred by a good friend (Cynagen)

I've been wanting to get setup with a good 3 monitor surround setup
I currently have 2 23.5" Samsungs that are 1080p
Here is my setup
Sabertooth Z77
Intel 3770K i7
Evga 680 GTX Nvidia ( evga for life) lol
and corsair HX750 watt
samsung 840 PRO'256gb
windows 8

I can sell these monitors so that I will have enough to buy another set that perfect for surround sound setup I can spend 350-550 absolute tops.
Would like it to be at least 23" inches or bigger


EDIT: monitor sizes lol

I recommend Dell U2312HM - great 23" 1080p IPS monitors with pretty small bezels and some of the lowest display lag ever that makes them perfect for multi-monitor gaming. They're towards the top end of your price range - my friend just got then for $180 each off Newegg, so $540 for three - but I think they're fantastic monitors and well worth it.

They also have Displayport inputs so they'll be set for future video cards, or should AMD's bare metal approach make it worthwhile to switch from Nvidia / EVGA.

i have 3 Dell U2311H, the previous model of that. And i can say they're great.
They were not that expensive. IPS, DP, Pivot (you can turn them 90°), Vesa Mount (though not if debezel)
The Stand is a little Problem if you place 3 of them they're hard to adjust. I hope they fixed that in newer models.

But if i were you i'd invest in LightBoost Monitors. Smoother than 120hz.
A good read is this page: http://www.blurbusters.com/

I'm not sure, as I took my U2312HM's off the stands and connected them to this mount: http://www.wsgf.org/products/freedom-triple-desk-stand It took a bit to set them up perfectly, but then they're fixed in place and looking great.

i meant the standard stand, 3 monitor feets, not a multi monitor stand!
If you use such a thing then everything will be fine :)
