triple screen with wide screen?

Hello all,
I used to have triple monitors (3 x17" dell monitors) but I changed back to a single Lg 34" widescreen @ 3440x1440, because I play forza 6 and some fps on the xbox one which is great, but I miss the triple screen setup and the wrap around feeling you only get with the two screens in your peripheral vision for racing on the pc, so I was wondering if there is any way I could add a couple of monitors at each side of the wide screen for when I'm racing on the pc, I did try and add two of the 17" dell's in a vertical position but I couldn't get it to work and the difference in picture quality was very poor.
So is there any monitors I could add that would complement the lg?

i started out with a 25 inch hanns g and 2 x 17 inch screens and it looked odd as hell tryin to play games on it, ideally you need 3 matching screens to get the best chance of having all 3 with perfect colour/size matching imo, most screens have a slight variance in this area from what iv seen, i have since moved onto 3 matching 21.5 hanns g monitors, and couldnt go back to any other config, you may be able to find some monitors the right size in portrait but, again the difference in quality may vary compared to the original 34 inch

I guess I'll just have to wait until I find a couple of monitors that suit (even then I will have no way of knowing if they will match my 34 ) or I suppose I could try something like an oculus rift but then I'd worry about motion sickness which I sometimes suffer from.

I have had a triple monitor setup for a long time and have always found it quite hard to be happy unless I'm using the same monitors as they never quite match and recently I upgraded to 3 x 25" 1440's all the same and had an issue with them matching so had to go with a different manufacturer ...

Its not an easy thing to do as you want to add a different monitor so without trying different monitors I think you are going to find it hard to get something that you are happy with.
