Triple Monitor- What to go for?

HammyUK · 24 Mar 2013 at 11:33

Hi All,

I am currently looking at building a new PC and want to go for a triple monitor set-up. I will be using either a GTX 690 or a GTX Titan or maybe SLI 680's.

I am currently using a Alienware AW2310 which i bought about 2 years ago

My question is

Should I buy 2 more AW2310 for around £250 each for a dell refurbished one.

or

Should I buy 3 brand new monitors and sell my Alienware one.

I have been looking at these

I mainly play FPS and racing games.
BF3, crysis 3, far cry 3, dirt, tomb raider.

Thanks

I don't really play 3D at the moment on my current setup so think it might be a waste.

Agree and disagree. Yes they extra vision does look good but i always find my self looking at the middle screen as thats where the action is.

I have 3 x 23" IIyamas on SLI GTX670 4GB cards. I'm actually considering going back to single monitor (probably a 27") as I'm finding I don't really use the triple screen much. It's great for racing games and flight sims, but it can be a pain to get set-up correctly. Other alternative is one of those super wide screens like this:

Ive just bought my 3rd monitor and was about to recommend the BenQ XL2411T, but you already bought them. Excellent choice. Stick them all on 120Hz and you won't get ****y eyes from the different refresh rates!
