IPS isn't suitable for gaming, but I am unfamiliar with 30" TN panels. However, stacking three TN panels horizontally presents no problems, as you can simply angle them to get them back to the sweet spot.

I did a brief, cursory search and found a 'suitable' (?) TN panel that would be OK for gaming. Ignoring the fact that apparently higher resolution monitors don't have RTC yet, the nominal power consumption is also 100 W, more than 3 19" chain together which would offer a different (and better, IMO) experience.
