I wanna buy 3 1080p 23" monitors ($160 each at my local shop), but I've gotta start saving my money for college. This is the end of my reign of epic hardware. :(


Though what I have will probably still count as epic 3 years from now. xD

$160 each? Cheaper than I'd expect. I can has monitor specs/model number/whatever?

They're nothing great.

Acer 1080p's. 10000:1 contrast ratio I think, which again, isn't great, but it's better than what I have now. 5ms response time.

I would like to get the 120hz 1080p Acers, but those are nice, and $350 a pop. 3D Vision Surround would be sick on them though.

That bezel is WAY too large for a multi-monitor setup.

Eh... I have different dektops on my monitors and I have Photoshop, iTunes, Spotify and emulated games on one and internet, IM and mail on the second. Each monitor have four virtual desktops.

That's how you should use them.
I can connect them to USB ports too, so I could have four monitors connected when I buy the two new ones.

BC2 was actually designed to run on triple monitors. It's designed as a FOV extension, so you can see out of your peripherals, which is why the HUD stays in the center.

it still seems like cheating to have such a FOV given that not everyone has the money to get 3 of the same monitor, set them up and then have a powerful enough graphics card to do that >_>
