For inputs, I only see "DVI-I with HDCP". You sure it has VGA input too?

I don't know if that LCD would work too well with the TH2G, its native res is not supported in triple screen mode, so you'd end up with a distorted image. I'd go with a 19 or 17 inch non-widescreen, 1280x1024x3 is the highest resolution the unit supports, so going with widescreen monitors is really just cutting down on your feild of view.

If it has DVI-I, you can use a VGA->DVI adapter.

The specs for that monitor look pretty good, really nice contrast, so-so viewing angle. One oddity I see is that the aspect ratio is listed at 4:3, but a 1280x1024 display should have a 5:4 ratio, probably just Best Buy's mistake.
The bezel looks pretty big and that is an issue when you are putting three of them side by side, you're going to want to find panels with the thinnest bezels you can.

I'd rule that one out because of bezel size. Even if you don't consider bezel size now they will be one of the main issues in usability once you do have your setup. Sure you can get used to wide bezels, but it's a lot easier to play when they're thin.

Newegg sells an LG(this whole thread has been LG, I figured I'd continue the trend) monitor with similiar specs to the one from BestBuy, except it has a thinner bezel and is cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824005075
It is listed at a slower response time than the other one, 8ms vs 4ms, but I doubt either are really accurate.
