Right many of you guys on here recommended the Dell U2311H and all I can say is I'm glad that you did. Only down side is that compared with my old 30" cinema display the size is tiny. Picture is much better though.

My thoughts now are to go multiple screens...NVIDIA surround! I have one GTX 580 and I'm going to get another.

Does this NVIDIA surround work with only three monitors or would two work just aswell?
In which format (portrait or landscape) would two or three monitors look the best in, and which setup, two screen or three has the better resolution. In either portrait or landscape modes.

Many thanks,
 
For NV, you need a TripleHead2Go

Unfortunately, OCUK do not sell it. Other sites do but rules and rules and I cannot link.

Search for "Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition" within Google mate

Not sure if this is the ONLY way... but my suggestion
 
one 580 can run dual monitors but iirc to run three you need either a triple head to go or 2 580s
 
Okay so, at the mo, two monitors with my one 580 is good to go. And when I get my third screen and another 580 I wont need to buy anything else.

Thanks for your help guys...

Anyone got opinions on which way to run the screens, I want to stretch my desktop across the two screens, but I don't know which would be best, portrait or landscape!?
 
If you're running dual screens just stick with landscape, make sure you get yourself a little program like ultramon, will make your dual screen setup a joy to use.

As regards to going portrait i have a tri setup in work with a 24" in the center on Landscape and 2 x 19"s either side on Portrait. This works perfectly however when on portrait the blacklight and viewing angles can be a problem. Like i said though if you're just getting the same size then just landscape them and extend the desktop.
