haha, I can't stand having less than 2 screens. I use 2 at work and have had at least 2 at home for ages. On my laptop, I always feel gimped on desktop realty.

I don't mind having one or two monitors, but I can't stand using cheap TN panels. IPS all the way for me until OLED displays come down in price drastically. And no, what they call "LED" monitors now are still LCD.


I'm sure there are better displays out there, but I haven't seen them, so my displays still look good, and they're cheap. One is a mismatched model though, which I'd like to fix, as my computer won't recognize it over hdmi, so i have to do vga to dvi adapter for that monitor. really annoying.

MicroATX Desktop - i7 950 - 12gb ram - 2x GTX580
2x Intel 520 180gb SSD's in Raid0 - 3x 28" LCD @ 5760x1200


Ouch, that would be a deal breaker for me. I put together my rig for 3D and wouldn't be able to use it without a DVI or hdmi input on all 3 monitors.I'm sure there are better displays out there, but I haven't seen them, so my displays still look good, and they're cheap.

because you showed off your rig, I feel compelled to show mine (I don't have a picture with FFXIV running, but it'd look like ass with 3d on anyhow)

The difference between dvi and vga is SO small though. I can see it, but only if I squint and pay really close attention. At a glance or even using it, you can't tell without comparing it.Ouch, that would be a deal breaker for me.

What I'm having difficulty deciding is what angle to put the monitors at. Strait across is just way to wide, 30 degrees seems to far in. Also trying to figure out what the distortion angle is for ffxiv, as stuff on the ends is distorted pretty well.
