1313162 2012-11-18 08:46:00 Hi,
Which 3 monitor setup would be best for the nVidia Surround. My budget is <$1000 and the bezel of the monitor needs to be thin. The bigger the monitors the better. as long as it is under budget :D

1313163 2012-11-18 09:10:00 Don't laugh, but try considering the monitors From DEll. Their PC's may be carp sometimes, but to be honest some of the best Displays I've seen have been Dells.

This ones slightly over your price, they would have to be roughly $330 Each.

3 of these would give you lots of screen (accessories.ap.dell.com)

1313164 2012-11-18 09:16:00 Yea they look good but the bezel is quite thick. I seen some viewsonic monitors which were quite cheap. Are they any good? I will be mainly using these for gaming. stratex5 (16685)
1313165 2012-11-18 19:25:00 Why are you so concerned with the bezel? Surely the screen size, resolution, and quality are more important than the bezel size?
I'd go for something like pricespy.co.nz

1313166 2012-11-18 19:54:00 With surround the bezel cuts off some of the image and can get quite annoying so a thin bezel is better. stratex5 (16685)

Ah ok, that makes sense. What did you think of the viewsonic I linked to?

1313168 2012-11-18 21:37:00 Don't know what games you are in to but I do a bit of sim racing & flying.
I prefer a monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1200.
I find it gives a more natural image.
For example, the gauges are round & not oval.
You won't get that with a cheap monitor.

1313169 2012-11-18 22:14:00 What GPU do you have? Probably worth checking if you can even run the games at a decent setting and framerate before you go and buy $1000 of monitors. icow (15313)
1313170 2012-11-19 01:15:00 I have the GTX 680 and i will be playing fps games likes arma 2/3 (when it comes out) and fsx. stratex5 (16685)
1313171 2012-11-19 01:17:00 NickG i had a look at the monitor but its only a 23" which is a little small. I want something at least 24" and even that a little small. stratex5 (16685)
