Spec me 3x thin bezel monitors for triple monitor setup.

Hi All,

Could you monitor guru's spec me 3x thin bezel monitors for triple monitor setup.

I was thinking of using my dell 2408wfp for the center but finding a couple of second hand dell 2007fp's is like finding hens teeth.

Any suggestions welcome!

Over to you

How about the Dell 2209? IPS, cheap and very popular.

Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA does look good thanks

Bizarre, I was not expecting Dell to continue making the 2007FP but they do!

If they're similar in price i'd personally go with the 2209.

Has anyone here got a triple monitor setup with 2x Dell 2007FP's and a 2408wfp?

I am interested to see how normal games would behave using a mix of 16:10 and 4:3 aspect ratios?

The 2007fp's are £329 each

If u plan to use eyefinity or triplehead2go each monitor must use the same resolution, only softth supports mixed resolutions.

I'm thinking about going for 3xFullHD monitors as they are so cheap.

1920x1080 16:9 looks preferable to 1920x1200 as 16:10 looks like a dying standard with everything supporting 1080p standards.

My 1920x1200 monitor is better then a 1080p one....As i can do all my PC stuff including playing PC games at 1920x1200...
Plus watch 1080p movies at 1:1

1080p is only a HD TV thing and really nothingat all to do with PC use

Tbh i'd take 16:10 over 16:9 anyday.
More vertical space, simple.

I hope you realise you will be spending most of your time fixing your FOV and finding hacks rather than playing games

MoRT489 · 24 Nov 2009 at 18:12

lol, true but hopefully more ultra widescreen fixes will come out as it becomes more common.

Although to be fair a lot of people go on about bezels but you honestly don't notice them nor care, most of the action is still on the centre screen.
And this is coming from someone with a fair bit of experience, i simply cannot play with a single screen anymore its horribly cramped.
For example i bought Borderlands which doesn't 100% support this resolution due to its horribly -vert FOV. Played it to lv25 and i just can't continue.

LG has just released frameless TVs, hopefully get this tech to PC monitors soon!

Oh man awesome. This is what eyefinity needs, I just couldn't consider using a 3 or more monitor setup with frames breaking the picture up so much =[

correct me if im wrong but the lg link just shows some TV`s with wide bezels ? sure there thin for a tv but still larger than a monitor. surely there just saying there is no depth to the bezel i.e completely flat surface ?

LG have release 1 shot of a small TV with zero bezel though
