You will need an adapter and 3 places to ship them to redeem all 3 rebates, but 117$ a pop for a 23" is a steal. If I wasn't spoiled by the real estate of my 28", I would hop on it in a heart beat. Instead im getting 3 26" ASUS LCDs.

Do these posts belong here? Sorry, Im new.

Those monitors your getting ready to buy (ASUS). Those are the ones I have. I would think about it a little more and try and get monitors that have the native displayport instead.If it is eyefinity your seeking. You'll save yourself some headaches.

I was hoping to get something close to my current screen size. All the affordable DP monitors Ive seen are 24", and it looks like the only good one is from Dell.

Would matching a Dell WFP with 2 TNs be a good idea? I dont really care for portrait mode.

The cheapest 24" DP monitor I can find is this thing:

But 350$ (maybe ~300$ after CB) for a TN panel with no reviews under its name feels a bit ridiculous. Is the adapter really that frustrating to use?

Ok, it appears that old 2408wfp sell for ~350$ so I think Im going to try to find one of those and flank it with 2 TNs. I hear the U2410s have problems with the early revisions atm.

It's. Not that its hard to use. Its that many off us are having issues. With the adapters .

I found a guy selling a 23" NEC /w DP for 250$. Im going to try to get him down to 225$ and combine it with 2 of the viewsonics.

23" is smaller than I originally had hoped, but I guess ill just sit closer to the screen. I am however concerned about the 16:9 ratio these monitors have. Seems like 16:10s are harder and harder to come by.

The Dell P2310H's are $222 shipped. 23" and they are OK monitors, and have native DP.

I saw those, and the biggest thing turning me off was the aspect ratio.

I think I found some ideal eyefinity monitors: Samsung 2443BW. You can get em for 220$ shipped for a refurb on ebay. The bezel is suppose to be 1/2" thin.

Also, whats this forum's policy on doubleposting? Should I just edit the previous posts?

If the double post has a reason (ie: thread no longer at the top of the forum and something new and relevant has been learned that needs to be mentioned, I don't have any real issues with a double post or two. ;) If they're too close together (in time) or it happens too often than mods might ask that being a bit more abstemious would be a good idea. :)

I saw 2 monitors on craiglist, a 244T for 200$ anda 245T for 225$. I was able to nab the 245T. 2 hour drive but considering these sell for like 500$ used, I'd say its well worth it.

Damn thing doesnt have DP though.

Im not sure what to do with my eyefinity setup now.

Im still leaning towards a 2408wfp in the middle hooked with DP (i hear it has better input lag). The 245T is obviously going to flank it. But I doubt I can find another 245T for this price, so I might settle for a TN. Feels dirty though.
