Abram, just to make sure you understand. You have no choice re monitor positioning. For this layout, you must hide side bezel in order to line up pixels. If you line up these monitors flush, pixels will not line up in games.

[Edit: I should explain. Center has 15.69" ht, sides have 16.11" ht = sides are 0.42" taller & so their pixels slightly bigger. But when placed behind center's bezel, sides are perceived to line up pixels & side screens appear the same height as center -- though they are not. This hide-a-bezel feature is awesome, but is not for everyone. I also dig hanging sides, they are useful, though not as attractive. Hang is useful in borderless gaming, where you can display e.g. a player or tiny game map or a section of walkthrough. All layouts have appeal for different reasons; it is hard to choose, so many interesting options]

If you want flush-fitting monitors, you should pick a different PLP layout.

I see. But can't AMD drivers stretch the sides now? I seem to recall seeing the ability, the last time i set up my array.I wouldn't mind trimming half an inch of screen space.

Though after reading this: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 52#p161152 Maybe I can not worry so mch about trying to match physical pixels... Still lots of time to mull all of this over, at least.

thanks for the info.

Of course, thinking about that now I'm considering keep my 24" sides in portrait, adn deal with the 5" of blank screen. I've seen it on pictures of other PLP setups... I'll order the 32" first adn see how it goes. I DO already have a single 20" 1680x1050 that i try out, but the bezel sucks, so I'll be giving it away.

Straying further off the topic of this thread, I'm not sure which way to flip the sides. If I recall correctly, having the top of the displays facing the centre should give the least amount of color distortion. I already have the 100-D16-B03-TW, So i should be able to angle the sides in enough. I'm almost an arms-length from my current centre screen screen.

AMD driver does not allow resizing scale of individual monitors in multi-monitor.

However, Windows 10 has this feature of individual display scaling, & has a chance of looking good. I have not tested it yet, may look like crap no idea. May be blurry, or not stick in games, no idea. Or it may scale games great, something like Windows Preview does for images.

Certainly you should not trust this Win10 feature without testing it first. If you test Win10 scaling feature, I am very interested in your results.

Well I'm starting away from Windows 10 until dx12 games come along. But food for thought.. I'm sure I'll be postig a "hey look what I did" thread if all goes well, or posty hairpulling troubles.
