Just pick one you like the look of, I've had good luck with AOC myself but I'd probably pick LG of the 3 |

| 1313173 | 2012-11-19 03:18:00 | 119.47.125.81 What about these monitors? And dugimodo the monitor that you posted is a little more expensive than these and they are glossy (so you will have glare?) |

| 1313174 | 2012-11-19 03:47:00 | Should have said, the link was just to give you an Idea of the price of a cheap 27". All I can tell you about them is I personally own an older model 27" AOC monitor and I've been pretty happy with it. Owned it a bit over a year now, it sits next to a 24" samsung LCD TV I use as a second monitor and it looks better than that does (only a little). You won't do much better than those prices at 27" unless you want to try your hand at importing from E-bay or something. To stay under $1k you are probably stuck with 24" |

| 1313175 | 2012-11-19 04:01:00 | Hmm... $120 over the budget may be worth it in the long run. I might wait a while for a special. Is alphacity a good PC company? | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1313176 | 2012-11-19 04:58:00 | If you shop online you could get 3 LG 27" LED's for 1031. On Pbtechs site from 6 tonight (www.pbtech.co.nz) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1313177 | 2012-11-19 06:21:00 | I wouldn't even bother with 3 screens on a single gpu. You'll be under 30fps. Imo 25 is like a bear minimum for a game looking smooth-ish but you want to be up at 60. You'll be fine in ARMA II (I think) because it's old but anything remotely new and you'll be seeing a low fps. If you've already brought the 680 it's a bit of badluck but if you did your research you would have found getting mid-range cards would have done you better for a triple screen setup. 3 screens = triple the pixels. You always lower game settings but 1920*1080 of quality is better than 5760*1080 of half-arsed graphics. |

| 1313178 | 2012-11-19 18:50:00 | Thanks for that speedy but I just missed the deal :( @icow i will be planing to get a second 680 in the future. Previously i have been stuck to a 128mb GPU running games on low, so i think I will be able to stand playing in surround with medium graphics :D Although probably not ideal ;) |
