What about the middle in portrait and the outer two in landscape? I have always wondered whether or not this would actually work for some games rather than the long band of peripheral vision that is the standard alternative.Punkid said:
heres a question : can u run the three monitors in portrait mode? for a resolution of 4800*2560 with 3 2560x1600 screens?
oh and i wouldnt ever bother with 3 monitors....i'd rather invest in a projector and let the game envelope me

I was happy to see this article although it puts 3 monitor gaming in an unfavorable light... Almost as if the writer is intimidated by the setup and it looked like the fear spread to the first few posts. First off, I have 3 Hanns-G 27in monitors that cost 300$ a piece(shipping included).......Don't let an intimidated opinion scare you off, hold you back, or give you more excuses.

That's nice, but 27" isn't the same as 30". It's not the size difference that sets them apart, it's the huge 2560x1600 resolution, and cost upwards of $900
80+ inches of viewing space with 5760x1200 pixels in HD shipped to my front door for the 900$ price of one of your supposed monitor seems more than "Nice". Sounds like the intelligent alternative.
For normal computing tasks, two monitors tend to be the sweet spot, not 3+. While your multiple books example makes sense, we are not multi tasking individuals when it comes to say, reading comprehension. You cannot reasonably have one eye on one book, one eye on another, and read/comprehend both, you have to switch back and forth between books. This is true with multiple screen layouts, we are still paying attention to one window/display at a time, but the extra real estate works best when we aren't covering one window over another,

However they aren't that great for gaming since their response times are not nearly as fast as TN monitors, so I'd be questioning why someone would be getting three+ of the 5ms monster size IPS panels for the sake of gaming...
I disagree with that assessment. I just setup a 3 x 1 Lanscape on 3 x 25" monitors and its the greatest thing since sliced bread for AV editing and PSE...etc. Not having to switch back and forth and having full view of all of the material being edited is fantastic
Hey Red :wave:
I have to say I agree there. Having used 2 displays for some time (and now being stuck with one til my motherboard arrives!) I've got a new found respect for just how much more efficient having more than one is!
I've always wanted 3, and its possible one day I will (having to replace whole PC no doubt will delay it now) and I can't wait, because the amount of desktop real estate it will give me for other tasks is what I want it for most.
It makes working on big documents or images so much easier when you can give one program one whole display, and another to another one. To have an extra screen would make it even more awesome!
Yeah I've thought of that too, but when you have half an inch to almost a full inch of bezel with even one, it's annoying. When I actually have my two screens "edge to edge" I do what you do with the overlapping. =)Superpeter said:
@madvoy: what i do @ my home to help compensate for bezels in my viewing area is I have the monitors that are to the left and right of the center; their bezels are directly BEHIND the middle monitor so i only see the with of one bezel between screens. I never understood why in all the pictures and reviews i see the monitors are always put edge to edge. Stacking the bezels is infinitely more pleasing (to me) unless you like the double bezels in your picture
