Vertical monitors to match the hight of a horizontal monitor

Mattophobia

I'm in the market for a new monitor set up and want a 22-24" monitor in the center with a vertical monitor either side that when vertical matches the height of the horizontal monitor. I know I could just get two 24" monitors but the way my desk is setup I'd be staring at the seam between the two monitors and don't want that. Any suggestions for what I should buy would be brilliant (It'd also be especially good if they were 120-144Hz 3D monitors, but not necessary). Thanks!

 

EDIT: Here is a shoddy photoshop of kind of what i'm looking for. (It's also worth noting that even if I can't use the vertical monitors for eyefinity or something I still have uses for them!)

Just putting it out there, unless you're going to do eyefinity at some awkward resolution (even then you need a lot of horsepower to take advantage of 120+/3D) there's no need for anything special for a vertical monitor unless IPS for graphical work. You won't really be doing any gaming or movies on them.

It's more the size I'm looking for. I've found it really difficult to find vertical monitors that are the same height as the horizontal one.

Well there's this:

But finding the side monitors are hard since they don't make 1600x1200 monitors anymore

I Know how you feel

I have a setup like that with no matching monitors (24' 1920x1200 in the middle and 2 22' 1920x1080 vertical on each side) hopefully i will be replacing my middle one to a 32'' UHD . Height will still be different and the higher resolution will make moving from one screen to the other more difficult but still is something i need to do... let me know if you find a solution
