Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

Some of us refuse to deal with bezel-lines. ONLY way I would do triple is with 3 projectors so that picture is seamless. Even then, the times I've tried out triple monitors I've just found myself thinking "what's the point?". Triple monitor would just cause you to really hate your eyes because those bezels ruin the entire experience (trust me, I've seen it).

1 huge monitor > 3 monitors any day of the week.

I disagree, and I'll tell you why.

One monitor = smaller resolution than three monitors.

Therefore, three monitors = more scenery real estate than one monitor.

Also, about the bezels, they're really not as bad as you think. When you're gaming, and you're focused on what's going on in front of you and around you, you totally forget about the bezels. Trust me on this one, they fade away.

In the past, I have gamed on one-monitor setups, I really used to. I promise. However, now that I've upgraded (YES, UPGRADED!!) to three monitors (two monitor setups are gay), I will not go back to only one monitor. Need I prove my point how glorious and elite three monitors are for gaming (appropriate game for this setup, such as FPS, racing games, flight/combat flight simulators, anything else with a 3D open world)? I will leave you with a few YouTube videos showing just how immersive this perfect setup can be:

Some people like it, some people don't. Its not an arguable topic. If you like it great, if you don't that's great too. Everyone can buy what they want

Personally, I have 3x 24" monitors with 1" bezels, don't even notice them when playing games. If you're focused on bezels, you obviously are dying or crashing or not paying attention to what's going on in your game, lol. However, I am selling them to get a larger 2560x1440 monitor. Not because I think one giant screen is necessarily better, I have just always wanted a 2560 monitor If I get enough money later on you can bet your sweet *** I'll be getting 2 more.

[DilTech]

I like the concept, I just hate the bezels (they really do bug me).

I've also tried it on a multiple projector set-up... THAT was something to witness.

If I have a choice between my bro's 73" 3d dlp or a triple monitor set up though, it's a no brainer. I'm going with the mitsubishi 100% of the time.

You won't be disappointed.

Looks awesome.

16:9 is supposed to match your natural FOV or at least pretty closely. With three 16:9 monitors that just obviously isn't going to be the case. I would rather just have a larger single display than a short and wide display with large bezels in the fov.

That why i wish PLP 20-30-20 4960x1600 was officially supported, big center screen with bezels in the peripheral, more hight and less wasted horse power on pixels on 2 full sized monitors on the sides which are peripheral most of the time unless you sit back which i like doing from time to time. Running in Windowed mode or using HTSoft is not ideal.

[eXa]

That would be more ideal yes.

[solofly]

I have just always wanted a 2560 monitor

I did too until I tried one. My two 580's were no longer cutting the mustard. Dude you'll need some serious GPU power if you like to max out your games...(like I do)

You're forgetting that not all of us are gamers though. For instance, I'm double majoring in biomedical and electrical engineering (Umich) and having a large screen makes a big difference when it comes to programming and circuit design. It's really helpful to have that extra space so that you can be running matlab, writing code and even browsing the web at the same time without having to minimize any windows.

Arguably it would make sense to just get a multiple monitor display setup at that point, but I agree with Diltech that I hate the additional bezels. Stretching an excel spreadsheet over 2 monitors looks hideous compared to one massive one imo.

Good that you like it .

And , I agree it can look impressive but personally I don't like it .
I rather have a good monitor with high resolution in front of me instead of a few around me . They kind of make me dizzy and draw away my attention from what's going on on the primary monitor (which shows the stuff you should be interested in while gaming , your aim for example)

I use my second montior for stuff like chat/teamspeak/live system info etc. . It makes me more productive compared to one . I also had 3 screens but actually only used 2 effectively .

Minority don't count...

[OutSider]

That`s my dream to have three 30 inch monitors but different people different likes

I definitely hear what you're saying here, Booey.

And that is why I went with three 16:10 monitors (1920 x 1200 each). Using three 16:9 (1920 x 1080) monitors is too much of a horizontal stretch, as I have said in previous posts.


And this is why I'm really looking forward to the highest-end GTX 600/700 series with lots of VRAM to back it up.

Minority don't count...

When it comes to multi-monitor setups, gamers are the minority I'm afraid.

I think my 7950s should handle it

[BababooeyHTJ]

When it comes to threads about video cards people who don't game are the minority.

[aussie-revhead]

Guys how long do you think it will take the vid card partners to make good non-ref 680's? Like the Zotac Extreme that has been sneak-peeked already, or a Lightning/ Classified?

I have a 25 X 16 panel on my secondary computer, they are nice.

For my primary computer I can't give up the 57X10 3d Vision Surround, that is the highest level of immersion I've experienced in gaming.

I've tried 6 panel EyeFinity, and the bezels bi-secting the main action is a huge problem. With 3 panels you focus on the center panel and the two sides become your peripheral vision, so you don't really notice the bezels.

I've also played on the three projector screens, which I also consider very nice, but to me loses some impact due to necessary distance from it.

My $.02

It's a shame no company has released a triple screen single build monitor as of yet. I'm sure a large portion of that though is because they are unsure how it would sell.

I remember a monitor having a slightly curved display comprising 3 screens in 1 "bezel" so to speak. There were still slight lines between the screens but couldn't have been more than a mm or so. I can't for the life of me remember who made it but it was expensive though.

Alienware/NEC.

And the screen that you speak of is a piece of stinking junk. It's a curved screen, but, not curved enough for surround play. Also, the resolution is pathetic at only 2880 x 900! So, it's equivalent to only two screens, not three! For the price, you'd do much better going with three 1920 x 1200 screens. According to the MSRP, the unit launched at $8,000. YES, $8,000! I can build an insane gaming rig with that amount.

^what he said

i hope OLED screens come out with that exact feature though. otherwise i might just buy a 40" 4k tv when the prices are reasonable and use that as a monitor.

[STEvil]

I want a 3820x1600 display...

[BababooeyHTJ]

Honestly I just want a 2560x1440 S-IPS with a higher refresh rate. I would even be content with 80hz.
