I've currently got a Dell 2408WFP attached to GTX 275. After reading about and seeing loads of Eyefinity setups, I've decided I want in! :)

There are just a couple of problems...

I can probably get hold of a pair of 2407WFP screens to match up with my 2408, but I don't really have space for three screens of that size (in landscape mode. Portrait would be OK - but I think I'd lose a lof of the benefit).

So the other options are:

1. Buy 3x22" 1920x1080 screens.

2. Get 2x 22" screens to partner with the 2408, and run them all at 1920x1080. Losing a little off the height of the 2408 isn't a big issue.

I use the HDMI/Component inputs on the 2408, so if I change it, I'll need to do so with a screen that has those connectors.

Running a pair of 22s next to the 2408 is likely to be the preferred solution, but even with them all running at 1920x1080, I'm not sure how well they will line up.

So thoughts on how well 22s sit next to 24s would be appreciated (if someone is running that config), and also if someone could measure the width of a 22" screen, it would help me plan. I know bezel sizes vary, but it shouldn't be by that much).

I know. The plan is to replace the 275 with a 5870.

I was more interested in the monitor options rather than the card options at the moment :)
 
Hi,

You do know that one of the monitors will have to have a display port dont you? , Failing that it will mean buying the sapphire cable that allows you to do it without displayport.

P.S Not sure if the monitors you said have a displayport or not

The 2408WFP has a Display Port connector :)
