Post subject: | Need help please with multi-monitor setup choices |
Hello WSGF Community Ok warning this is going to be a little long due to the questions I have. Instead of upgrading my computer this year I am deciding to finally get new monitor/monitors and I need some help please. I was directed to come here and make a informative decision so I don't make a costly mistake. Triple Monitor setup vs 144mhz pros and cons for gaming ? Korean monitors I keep hearing about but was told its a gamble with the OC you have to do on them plus color takes a hit. Target : I was thinking 24 or 27 inch monitors. I would think 30's be to much of an issue in landscape to much space around. (Currently I have the Sony NSX-40GT1 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV) as my gaming monitor. Resolution: No idea I just wanted it to be kick butt. Orientation: 3 monitors in landscape mode with possible ( from another PC the on top) ( I didn't really like 5 in portrait to much bezel for me) What type of monitors would be good for gaming ? Would 3 144mhz monitors be good for gaming in multi surrond setup? What resolution should be my goal for a 24 or 27 monitor ? I don't want to be short changed anything especially when I have the cash to do some decent upgrade now Currently I just got not to long ago a EVGA 780ti so I guess I will be going Nvidia Surround What type of connections will I need and how many cards for 3 monitors. ? Monitor stand I think I had to get that supports 27's is the WSGF Edition Triple kinda expensive for a stand but if it's the best I will have to make do. Hopefully I get some help which is much needed I got the some cash and need to get me some monitors ! I am so excited I want something soon I think i see a fire in my pants where my wallet is |

24" are good for 1080p. 27" is good if you want to get to 1440p. But to do 3x1440p you'll need a lot of horsepower. A lot of people are moving to a single 21:9 panel - especially with the new 34" 3440x1440 displays. With the new mixed-res Eyefinity you can do 27 - 34 - 27. It would be 2560x1440 - 3440x1440 - 2560x1440. Again, lots of horsepower needed. But you get the best of all worlds with this one. A lot of what you get depends on whether you lean green or red for your GPU. |

Congratulations, you picked to worst time for a Monitor upgrade btw, Currently nVidia's G-sync and AMD's Free-sync are being developed and there are 1-2 Monitors out there, for horrendous prices! Buying a Monitor without G-Sync surely also works, it did for the last 10 years.... but it looks like a nice tech feautre, which i myself absolutly won't go past me. If you're looking for 144hz Monitors, be sure to look for one with Backlight Strobin /Lightboost. There is this thing called Motion Blur happening on normal 60Hz Monitors which can be nearly fully eliminated by that. Read more here: http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/60vs120vslb/ If you're thinking about going 144hz you have 2 choices, either play all games on UltraLow graphic specc, or buy a second 780 Ti. Running 5760x1080 at 144 FPS is extremly hard. My two 290 in Crossfire give me about 45-70 FPS in modern games with High Settings. And i have them Overclocked under water! If you're going for a 7680x1440 Resolution you'd definitly need a 2nd 780Ti.... except you'd only play games from 2003 or older ^^ Or you're a fan of 30 FPS Have fun |

Thanks for the response. skipclarke - Ok so with the comment about new mixed-res Eyefinity I thought u needed AMD GPU for this? Ratio you gave me 27 - 34 - 27 no stands that you sell for that kind of setup right? I do like the best of both worlds. Depending on the GPU and how many I have some options. 27" is good if you want to get to 1440p. But to do 3x1440p you'll need a lot of horsepower. ( How much horse power like 2 more 780ti ?) I also thought that when doing a 1440p which I think means 144mhz monitor also correct? I thought you could not use 3 of those due to the viewing angles I might not be understanding 100%. A lot of people are moving to a single 21:9 panel - especially with the new 34" 3440x1440 displays. ( Pixel density is what makes this a hell of alot better then my 40 inch Sony Google TV correct? ) Haldi - Yes it seems I picked the worst time and getting kinda bummed out now and thanks for the welcome I was told this is where I should go to get help. I wont buy 3 cards I just think that is now enough gain returns with the 3rd card I went through that once already with AMD 6950's. Goal is around 60 fps so its nice and smooth at least on a 60hz setup but I was thinking of getting the 144mhz I keep hearing so many mixed reviews. Why the hell does this have to be so hard now all I want is nice picture and good gaming without the input lag, with a real immerse feel when playing games with no tearing, studdering. Not a fan of 30 FPS main reason why I want something better I just got videocard about 2 months ago. Why the hell does this have to be so hard now all I want is nice picture and good gaming without the input lag, with a real immerse feel when playing games with no tearing, studdering. I know I was told u cant have both fast monitor and color nice its a give and take but now the widescreen monitor 34 inch put another player on field. Help ! lol |

Hello Community, I have just bought the best monitor stand I have seen got the Freedom WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand very expensive but I think will fit the bill for what I want. Now I need some major help still with monitors. I have been checking out the Overlord Tempest X270OC & QNIX QX2710 Evolution II to possibly get to 100mhz range. Or should I go for 24 modded one ASUS VG248QE G-SYNC 3 of those? IF I had to chose 3 IPS monitors what should I get? IF I had to chose 3 TN panels what should I get ? I need some ideas .... PLEASE help I have no experience in 3 monitor gaming and only seen one up close one time gamed on it 20 inches. Thank You |

Update: I chose 3 x 27's instead of 3 x 24's found out 24's might be a little small for my taste. I did get to sit down and game on 22's in triple monitor gaming setup it was nice but to small. Finally after so much reading and going to a few stores to see what some monitors looked like and going over the give & take of what performance I would lose I finally chose better colors over better speed hz. Like I posted before I was going to upgrade my system but chose toi upgrade Stand : Freedom WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand - $399.00 SKU: 100-D28-B15 (WSGF) Monitors: Perfect Pixel 27" YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 "2B OverClock" 120HZ QHD 2560x1440 S-IPS LED Monitor GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked P/N: 03G-P4-2883-KR Finally took the leap if I can get some % of OC on these monitors say 100hz having them run at I will be more then happy camper. Reading forums and reviews on these monitors seems to yield good chance of obtaining just that. Colors on this I was amazed so far ( 2 out of 3 ) are lit up no dead pixels on 2 monitors so far so I am happy. Have to get the 3rd monitor to display plus I need to know did I connect these correct or am I doing something wrong ? Plans: After I test monitors I will de-bezel them as you can see in video way sexier. Plus the de-bezel should have no issues then with mounting them well see once stand gets here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD5akQlEP0Y I will paint them piano black Questions: Should I wait for newer GPU cards to hit market to push games I want to play higher FPS or get another 780ti ? Amount of VRAM I found will be my culprit so dont really know what to do I was told I be ok but I should get another card. What do I need to get my 3rd monitor going ? At moment I have one monitor on the DVI-D & another monitor on the DVI-I I have tried to use a display port DVI adapter did not work please help. Do I have mine setup the correct way? What should I realistically expect with my setup FPS can I achieve in the 100 FPS or do I not have enough horse power even with a new card added? Thank You, |
