Oh yeah forgot to mention they need to be 24" as i won't have enough room other wise

I think you want a monitor that doesn't exist!

At least if there is a 24" screen with >60Hz refresh and a higher resolution than 1080p I've never heard of it.

24" 1080p 144Hz gives you a range of choices, though. You're not likely to be interested in g-sync as you have an Nvidia card, but Freesync monitors are coming soon(ish) if you want hold fire for a few weeks (possibly until the new year, I'm not sure if it's all completely clear yet) and there might be some more competition in the gaming monitor world then.

Like the dude above says your options are limited, generally most 24s will be hd. However you mention eyefinity and the game you mentioned in eyefinity with slim bezels would look fab!

Benq have some nice slim bezeled ones, so do dell. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CKQRhY25N1I

If you can wait though dell are planning on releasing the u2515h which is wqhd as you were looking for, and thin bezels for eyefinity. However no fast refresh rate.

I think you will have to pick what's most important in a monitor for you.

I might hold off a few weeks since you said new monitors are coming out

Thanks for all the help anyway guys

Handy thread - I've just upgraded GPU and want a more immersive experience, but it's looking like the newer ultra widescreen monitors might be a better bet than eyefinity?! I work all day with 3 screens and bezels annoy me!

Yeah the ultra widescreens look pretty fab! i dont think you would get quite as much fov as with eyefinity, but imo the trade off is worth it for bezel-less immersion! /melts
