Looking for 3 x 24" monitors for gaming

Cavallino · 8 Nov 2013 at 12:19

Hello folks. As title. Currently have an old 24" DGM.
Looking for good viewing angles and nice colours over any 120Hz/144Hz features.

Any recommendations? Can go up to around 250-300 a panel. But if there is anything which is cost effective £ for performance, Im all for it.

Thanks but I was told having 3 X 144hz monitors could be gpu intensive?

What card have you got?

Ive built a rig with 2 X R9 280Xs.
(not tested yet though!)

Ignore.

With that much horsepower you'll be fine

Hmm but surely the benfit of having 120Hz monitor is to be able to run your games at above 60fps? And if crossfiring, surely that's less likely to happen?

If your going for 1080p monitors those cards will be fine. I've ran 3 27" 1440p on my 780s before for testing and apart from metro LL all over games were above the 120fps mark and these new ati cards appear to beat the 780gtxs on the benchmarks I've seen.

Remember not all games will support eyefinity or nvidia surround.

Hmm I see.
Ho hum.
When are these Benqs going to be back in?
Any alternates in the mean time?

Not sure on those if you drop OCUK a quick webnote they'll get back to you quickish with a eta.

Any other panel recommendations folks?

Have you considered one of the 29" ultrawide monitors instead?

Cavallino · 10 Nov 2013 at 15:14

Funny enough I did, but they are effectively just 1.5 monitors for all intents and purposes though...
I've never had a triple monitor setup to be honest and this is why I want to go for it. So any recommendations be it 60/120/144hz, is most welcome based on your experiences.

Anyone?
