I ended up going with the AOC monitors anyway. At $120 each(and IPS) I just couldn't pass them up. Coming from monitors with huge bezels, 10mm bezels is still a great upgrade. My only gripe at this point is the power connections seem kind of loose. Looking at them on my desk I don't think 24" o...

I... err... um... wow, that is stupid. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll keep looking.

I think I'm going to grab 3 AOC I2269VW, at 21.5 they are a little smaller than I wanted. They fall right in my price range and 2mm bezels, IPS panels, 1920x1080, led back lighting seems perfect. Hope my local BB has 3 of them in stock.http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/i2269vw

I ended up getting an XFX Double D hd 7950 the price was right. It will be here tomorrow. Now turning my sights on monitors. I have a 720p projector a 17" 1280x720 lcd a 19" 1440x900 lcd and a 19.5" 1600x1200 crt. while I didn't mind 1440x900, I don't like the 1600x1200 crt every thin...

I just thought it would be easier with Flex. Seems newer cards all have mini dp so I'll need a different converter. I have a hdmi>dvi converter and a few hdmi>dvi cables laying around, but its not worth it. I'll get the hd 7970 and an active converter, more card for less $. 3072x768 85hz only worked...

I got my displayport to vga adapter in this morning. So far I've played a few hours of defiance, using flawless widescreen to fix the hud and some FFXIV:ARR. I've had to knock my settings down a bit, fps in defiance seemed fine on high but objects where disappearing. IN FFXIV I was getting hyper tra...

The 5750 does have 1GB of vram. I figured What ever card I put in would be bottle necked by the cpu. The monitors are 1280x1024 I figure the 5750 will give enough to see how much I like 3x1. I know in the past HD3D tech didn't support crossfire, or ran poorly in it. I'm not sure if that is still the...

I built a midrange gaming rig years ago. Since then I've put together a home theatre with a 720p 3D front projector. I really love playing in S3D when ever I can. I've been wanting to try a 3-1 monitor setup for awhile. I couldn't justify the cost of monitors, for something I wasn't sure I'd love or...

I've never played w/multi monitors. Been a long time console player, built a pc to play ffxiv and swtor. Had never seen eyefinity till after I built it, dont think my current rig is up to it. I'm totally sold on the benifits thou, and since the pc has become my main gaming rig. I plan to upgrade and...
