Looking for a good three monitor setup. Size does matter I prefer to be 28" and over only.

You do realise that good-quality panels 28"+ will be over a thousand each?

3x LG W3000H for 30" 2560x1600's.
If you stick to 1920x1080 then might as well go for TV's and go 40"+.. just make sure you get a panel that can disable the scaler effectively (Toshiba XV648 for example).

Yes, I am prepared to spend a good chunk of change for high quality monitors.
Once I finish my research projects sometime in 2011, Il be selling everything which will all still be under manufacturer warranty at that time. But yes, I do not mind spending over $1k per monitor.
Yeah I looked at TVs, but what about these:

http://www.officedepot.com/a/product...20MP-2-32-LCD/
http://www.officedepot.com/a/product...isplay-TFT-42/
And generally speaking, I can get pretty much any monitor 15% off already reduced pricing with my special access at most major retailers
If you're not gaming then any of those will do great.
The 30" is a 2560x1600 display

and if i want to do gaming and graphics rendering?
here is another:

after my 15% off its pretty sweet price.
I just do not like the high power usage on it and the low contrast.

just wondering, how close are you gonna be to this beast? If you get a TV, you'll need to take a few steps further back than you are used to for a monitor, and in the end, all you get is a bigger picture, not more screen real estate. That's why I refuse to get a 24+" widescreen when my 1600x1200 4:3 gives around the same, if not more actual pixel and screen area. That being said, if all you want is to see the games and renders bigger, a TV is def. the best way to go.
If cost isn't an issue, I would go for the 3x 30" but you're gonna need a beast to run games on those. Also, when you say you plan to sell this stuff, do you mean the setup? A TV doesn't hold value too well with new tech being what it is and a "revolutionary technology" around every corner.... a couple of lightly used 30"ers might fetch a tidy sum resale though.
Take lots of pictures and show them here so we can drool.....
edit:
Now, if you actually mean 3 TVs hooked up, that's a whole 'nother matter
Excessive and overwhelming tactical response
Cost is not an issue and I will probably go for 3 x 30" Monitors since most TVs lack in picture quality compared to a monitor... or rather to be specific, the color contrast is far less on a TV compared to a Monitor.
I could do 3 TVs but again the picture will look better on monitors instead I think
EDIT: Would I be able to use LED Backlight monitors? They use less electricity I think and the color contrast on some of them is insane as high as 10million:1 (Asus MS228H or MS238H) while most others are over 50k:1 (samsung)

anything rated over ~2000:1 is basically a lie when talking about LCD panels.

If price isnt a range why dont u go all out and buy 3x 30" ultrasharps which retail at $1600 each, best monitors in the business thats for sure! Please tell me for the amount of money your going to be modding/powder coating/sleeving/lighting and watercooling everything? hehe
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
i dun get it ... what about 1080 monitors (not tv)? aren't they are more preferred? or are they just hype?
Ah but thats still true for the newer monitors??? LED w/ 120Hz?
the LG 30"s ??
yes watercooling everything else and sleeving ofcourse. Powder coating... maybe not.
Ill look into those now. thanks
Yeah I dunno... still confused myself.
The LED monitors are using better tech.? less power also? and 120Hz is an option I think?
Main concern is the power, 130watts is too much for a single 30" imo, and the LED monitors I think use less than 10watts per monitor right?
Nope, the dell 30" ultrasharps.. best monitor out dead set.. Their like 2560x resolution.. with 3x of these suckers your eyefinity resolution would be insane, Check this out from maxishine fellow aussie Ocer..

gotta decide today which monitor size and brand and model to go with.... any last recommendations?
I know I am going to going to go Quad SLI...
Cant beat the Dell 3008WFP - hands down the best 30" incher out there. The HP is just as good but its not as aesthetically pleasing IMHO.

I think it all depends what tech you go for: Edge lit or localized backlighting. I wouldnt think these would apply to you anyway as none of them seem to do 27/30" panels.
I guess then you could go for an LED tv but running 1920 x 1080 on a 30" panel is not nice!
