hey all

I have 2 Dell 2408 WFP and a HPlp2475w...

I have tryed both landscape and portrate and i just cant decide on what is better on games :/

I love the fact i have have much more up and down view in games and the extra 2 monitors makes up for the side view and makes it a much nice large screen.

Where as in landscape i have the same as normal in the middle and extra fish eye at the sides....

Someone please help me decide!!!!!

Whatever gets you the most frags!

Unless you are editing the Vertical Fov, you in fact are not seeing anything more on the vertical axis.

The resulting 3 monitor portrait setup may in fact be similar in size to a large 16:9 screen; but you need to ask yourself: Does the higher concentration of pixels really compensate for a setup that is roughly the same size as a regular HDTV, but also has two fabulous bezels in the middle of it?

If you game and/or watch videos: Landscape. One could argue that portrait is better for gaming, but videos looks really silly on a portrait-oriented display. It'll give you HUGE letterboxing bars, and a smaller picture than landscape will.

Or get mounts that let you flip them around without detaching.

im planning on buying a Ergotech triple mon stand when i can get them in the UK so that would solve that issue.

I will have to wait and see i think :?

see my setup, i was the same before

:)

Portrait is fantastic for office work. I just flip mine back and forth as needed since I can't afford a 300$ stand.

I use portrait now, but I kinda miss having a panel in Landscape while doing work. Time to get another monitor :)

I'm using landscape both in my work and at home. I loved just the way my monitors were setup.
