Help choose me 3 x 23"/24" TFTs for Eyefinity

Hi all,

usually I'm really good at giving people advice, but when it comes to spending my own money I'm stuck

Had no end of monitors over the past six months, but want to try with an eyefinity setup. Ideally needs to have the vesa mounts at the back so I can buy a triple stand (rather than buy a wider desk).

Looked at the Benq 24" on this week only, but although a great monitor for the money I think the weird bottom lip would annoy me when I have three side by side.

Budget is around the £150 mark for each one unless someone can convince me there's a bargin to be had by spending a little extra.

To be honest the dell 16:10 panel looks good but it's £230 each so a little too expensive I think.

The big question, is do I need an expensive £75 active DP adapter for eyefinity or would a cheap DP > DVI cable work? If I need the £75 adapter that needs taking into account (especially when the dell has a DP port on the adapter).

Running a 7850 @ 1150 (and intend to buy another for crossfire)

Thanks!!

Thanks very much

Just thinking

3 x Benq 24" = £360 + £50 adapters = £410

3 x Ilyama 24" = £450 + £50 adapters = £500

3 x Dell 23" = £570 + £20 cables = £590

3 x Dell 24" 16:10 = £690 + £20 cables = £710

Money talks at the end of the day

Thanks very much, I appreciate it

Just seen the 23" LG IPS Panel. £119.50 each, nice metal casing and bezel looks quite thin.

Would 3 x 23" IPS be better than 3 x 24" TN?

£119.50 would be a bargin to be honest
