First, i want everyone to know that i love games but don't play them all the time so im not going for the biggest and the baddest video card, more for the best for my moneys worth. I will have a three monitor system with the following:

I have a

Dual AMD 64 3.0ghz
8Gb RAM
Windows 7 x64

and i am about to purchase a

Westinghouse 42" 1080P LCD HDTV w/HDMI

Aspect Ratio 16:9
Native/Optimum Resolution 1920 x 1080

http://www.ecost.com/Detail/TV/Westinghouse/VK42F240S/49607452.aspx?navid=155439616

and two

Westinghouse 26" LCD HDTV w/2 x HDMI + 1 L/R

http://www.ecost.com/Detail/TV/Westinghouse/SK26H730S/46746633.aspx?navid=155439616


So that gives me a total of 3 monitors in all and i will need a video card and monitor arms for these. Does anyone have any recommendations for a monitor arms/stands. I will not be mounting on a wall, more for my desk.

Thanks for any recommendations.

you realize if you use the 3 monitors for gaming that the scaling will be quite different ?
(objects would grow in size on the center monitor...)

Yea, you should get three of the same size, or else it'll be messed up in size differences.

Not sure what your budget is, but I would get 3 24" monitors with thin bezels, such as Dell 2408WFP or Samsung 2443BW.

Make sure whatever it is you buy that it's on the Matrox Th2go supported list for 1680x1050@57Hz.

Also worth to keep in mind ATI has just come up with new EyeFinity, but it does require one monitor to have displayport input. Do you already have the GeForce GTX 295?
