Got a nice Xmas bonus coming, so since I already got the GTX 780, time to upgrade my 3x22" to 3x27".

Obviously I want thin bezel, but I am also thinking that 27" is pretty big, is it time to consider going portrait 3x27"?

I found this Samsung LCD http://www.legendmicro.com/store/9452_Samsung-S27C750P-27in-LED-Monitor--Ultra-thin-Bezel-Pivot-Tilt-Stand-S27C750P.lmsp?RID=23&gclid=CIC6tNGP6roCFQ8OOgodNygAAw on sale refurbished, it's in my budget and supports portrait, thoughts?

(I would like to keep the cost to < $300 per monitor).

Decided to go Asus, matte finish, small bezel, landscape. Bought 3 @ $250 each on Amazon and they are amazing. Very bright, have turned down thru Nvidia Control Panel to 35% brightness.

http://www.amazon.com/VX279Q-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00DBVPOZG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386032244&sr=8-2&keywords=VN279Q

Colors are rich, but don't know about this 178 degrees viewing for IPS panels, you can definitely see washing out sooner than that.

So far only problem is now when I maximize a window it goes across all three screens again, doh! Have tried all the obvious, will likely be fixed when I update drivers again...

!!UPDATE!! - Just updated to R331.93 Beta, and windows now maximize to one screen ***BUT*** they maximize below and behind the start bar, so still messed up...how many years does it take to make this work correctly???


3x27" takes up a lot of room! 64" from left edge to right edge. Overall happy and with 1920x1080x3 (instead of going for those higher res Korean models) I don't have to upgrade my video card quite yet...

Soon...another GTX 780...
