Good monitor for eyefinity? (3 Monitors)

[Santhox]

Recently got my new gaming pc up and running and I don't want to use just 1 1080p monitor on a r9 295x2. (My current monitor is broken anyway so need an upgrade) So recently decided to go for a eyefinity setup but I'm not sure which monitor to use. Was thinking about buying 3  AOC 24" LED E2461FWH mainly because of the thin bezel and it's on sale. but I need some opinions on this

 

 

Thx in advance!

They don't look like amazing panels to begin with but the bezels will look great I haven't seen em in person. What's the most you're willing to spend on em?

I dont want to spend more than about 180$ on one.. I just found this though. Samsung S23C450B and it's also on sale  i tried looking for some reviews on it on youtube but there is none :c do you think it would be good for eyfinity setup? im not all that into this monitor stuff.

I don't really know if either of those are good screens tbh. I'm a bit more enclined to trust Samsung over AOC for budget panels but I could be completely wrong.

What I do know for sure though is this. I had a triple monitor gaming setup a while ago with 2 580s (when they were the top dogs). I spent much less than I should have on the monitors and it wasn't long before I regretted that. Games played great and all, don't get me wrong but the colours and experience wasn't quite what I'd dreamed it would be. Triple monitors was great but I just picked the wrong monitors for the job (they were some bargain basement ASUS screens btw). One thing I did notice that you have to be really careful about where you place TN monitors in relation to where you sit because viewing angles can be important when you're using all 3 screens at a time. You don't want to have to move your head from side to side to better see what's across all 3 screens. What I'd suggest though, is looking into 21:9 monitors. With 3 screens a lot of the far ends of the setup get a little stretched and if you're sitting close enough, you don't see it anyway. 21:9 seems to be the sweet spot where you still get that extra peripheral vision without having to render pixels you're not looking at.

What I'm getting at is I want you to be sure that it's what you want before you buy it. It's a nice setup, but it's not without it's troubles and it's a lot of money to throw away if you're not entirely sure it's for you. I did like the idea of eyefinity/surround but in the end it wasn't for me. I've since switched to one, larger screen and I'm much happier. You could feel completely differently though.

About the colours and experience, it can only go up from my monitor. it's way past 4 years now. so i think no matter what i buy it would be an upgrade. but i will take what you said in consideration. Thx for the help

If you can, take the time to go to a store and actually look at some monitors face to face, wiggle the mouse around, drag some windows from side to side and get familiar with how they look. I couldn't do this because the only computer shop with ANY stock within 50 miles of me only has really basic stuff (PC world in the UK is, and always has been god awful and we don't have any good chain stores here). If you're not that lucky, you'll have to take suggestions from people who know more than I do about monitors. I'm not that knowledgeable but nobody else was helping you so I thought I'd give it my best shot haha

I have 3 Dell S2340M's. I don't really have experience with other monitors, but I like them. They have some of the thinnest bezels I could find
