Need triple (1080p) monitor recommendation

Hello, I have been tasked with acquiring the parts for a triple monitor racing simulator build. Around 27 inches 16 x 9 or 16 x 10 has been decided and 1080p resolution per monitor is not higher due to the horsepower needed to run them. Currently It will either be powered by 2 970's, 2 290's, or 2 290x's (I already have one but am hesitant about giving it up). I am in need of fairly nice monitors with decent response time and a cost of under 300 usd a piece. However, I am not an expert in monitors and need some help in deciding what to get as far as decent displays with acceptable input lag, decent viewing angle for a triple monitor, and good color in the panels (not washed out or too inaccurate). I am torn on the panel type also (ips variant vs tn). My friend wants to be able to purchase this through his local frys or staples so he can write a check for it too. Some non competitive fps (bf 4) and rpgs like skyrim might also be played on this. G-sync monitors were too expensive.  

 

Thank you for listening to this, and any help would be appreciated as we are going to purchase the first batch of stuff tomorrow morning and he would like everything to be purchased by sunday.

It's VA, it's fast, it's cheap, it has VESA.

 Is there ghosting on this monitor and how does the display type compare to ips or tn?

VA is right in the middle of those.

Would this monitor be any good in comparison, sorry the person really would prefer getting it from staples for tax reasons.

 

Also, thank you for helping.

The BenQ is better and the better alternatives for displays at Staples are quite a lot more expensive.
