Samsung 305T died, again! What 3 23" Samsungs for Eyefinity?

[ui]ICEMAN · 19 Jul 2010 at 15:14

Hi guys, I've been out of the loop with PC monitors for a little while now so I'm curious about what to do.

My 305T has died for the second time and since Samsung stopped making this monitor due to this issue, I'm left looking for replacements in the 23" range. I want to go Eyefinity, driven by 2x5970's and I'm looking for the best 3 screens that Samsung will be able to swap my 30" for. What would your recommendations be? Obviously they have to come in around the RRP of the 30" I have.

Thanks

How about 3 x XL2370's?

Now the XL2370 is a fantastic screen, it really is. But I personally think the bezel is a little on the thick side (for Eyefinity use). The PX2370 would be a better bet, although in both cases you have to consider whether the glossy bezels will be too distracting in such a setup.

you could get 3x ASUS VG236H monitors without the 3D vision (if you can find it) then you could use 3d when it comes out for AMD cards and you get the 3x 23" monitors

They have to be Samsung, since this is being arranged by Samsung's returns department themselves.

ah, in that case I'd get a trio of 2233RZ's or ask if they will be selling a 23 or 24" 3D monitor any time soon and if they can send you three of those

The Bezel of the 2233RZ is again prohibitive. If you have no interest in 3D, the far superior image quality of Samsung's LED-backlit range should be more tempting.
