Re: Eyeing for a triple-monitor setup - but don't want 3 x SLI!
I have a 32" Samsung and have seen set ups with two smaller monitors turned on their sides on the ends of it... what do you all think of that type of setup?
In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. - HHGTTG

As long as you can 'hide' the bezels, having a 3 screen set up is nice. I have 3x32, and I think my 780ti is about to give up the ghost. I was going to try going back to one monitor to increase its lifespan, but realized I would miss the extra side view.

I have the two monitors on each side set slightly behind the middle monitor. It looks like there is only the bezel from the main monitor in the center.

Why not go for a ultrawide monitor. I have the LG 34" 21:9 wee beastie... Running on a single GTX 970.
I have never been a fan of triple monitor setups, for one reason only, the bezel is a nightmare to me. I am a bit OCD, and I know all I would be doing is staring at the bezels..
Hell I went through 8 Asus monitors, because pixels kept dying on screen, and I kept looking for the dead pixel all the time!
So yeah the bezel would be a major issue for me. If only they would design a monitor with no side bezel. Then maybe I would think about going for a three way.
