Hey guys Dean here, wondering if you can help me moving into the triple monitor league.
Well im wanting to move away from my Panasonic 42" Plasma TV, its a very big, power hungry, massive heat producing TV, amazing visual quality though. Great for jumping on consoles and games, not so amazing for day to day uses, minor screen burn and so on, nothing too bad its actually the heat it produces is amazing. Im also running a second monitor at a lower resolution as its an older monitor, due to this its auto-overclocks my GPU as it has to run two different resolutions, now i've been told three screens at the same res and eyefinity etc will not auto-overclock my card allowing me to keep the fan speeds lower so i dont have to combat heat, if thats true or not i guess i will find out.
Okay back to the point, i'm not entirely sure what i need besides a graphics card, and three monitors and a few cables. I have no idea what i need in terms of creating the connection, I've wondered if a HDMI spliter going from the HDMI port and two HDMI cables from that to two of the screens and a final HDMI to DVI cable i have to the last screen would work? As my GPU's layout is a HDMI and two DVI ports and i think a mini-display port, but i know more about a mini-display port as i do with types of cat breeds.
The monitors im thinking about are "Acer G6 Series G246HLB" as they have just about everything im looking for. Under 5ms response time, HDMI and DVI inputs, 1920 x 1080 and 60Hz and a nice 24" screen size. Think design and fairly cheap. They also have amazing picture quality as i was able to test one on a shop floor i was in whilst looking with an impressive Contrast Ratio: 100,000,000:1. So any input would be nice, also suggestion of screens are welcome though my needs on a monitor maybe slightly uptight.
