Triple Monitor Display Idea...

[21blue64]

So, I'm eventually looking to invest into a triple monitor setup (gawd). It'd be powered by a GTX 760 with at least 4 GB VRAM.

 

So far, specs aren't concerning me but the monitor is.

 

The eventual setup I want looks something like this...

 

 

Reference #1. A 30" Monitor sandwiched by two smaller ones. The idea came up to me when I realized I wanted more space and some forum searching brought up some specs that one person used. 

What I'm wondering is what monitors are suggested that would fit these dimensions I want, and if those don't work, than what would? Images and reference images are highly suggested.

My eventual use for the absurdly huge resolution monitors is Video Editing, Photoshop, and general multitasking (and games, duh)

 

My Personal Details:

 

I found two monitors that would fit and are fairly reasonable in price.

 

YAMAKASI 301 SPARTA 30" LCD S-IPS 2560x1600

YAMAKASI DS270 IPS 27" 2560x1400

I'm worried that if I get these specific models, when I turn the 27" on their side and make them vertical, it wouldn't fit the way i want it to.

 

Reference #3. I also found some people during the triple displaying using a 1600x1200 Monitor because turn on its side, would fit the same. The resolution is a little smaller than I prefer it to be. 

 

Reference #4. I also found a post saying that someone has done this specific build with a Dell and an HP monitor, but didn't produce models or an example photo.

might as well get a 1440p monitor on 2 780's

First of all i don't think this will be a good investment

[_ASSASSIN_]

You'd have to get a 1440x900 monitor that fits exactly with a 27 inch for this kind of thing to work, last time I remember it working was on the old dell workstation monitors

[wng_kingsley7]

if you want a surround monitor setup you should pick one brand and stick with that one and buy 2 monitors at best triple screens is a bit surreal.

erm...my meaning for it being a not a good invest was the fact that those monitors aren't adjustable  ...at all.

 

very nice pictogram of what you want though...gj

whether you're serious about doing video/photo-editing (pro/amateur) you should get a very great quality panel 'the ips type so to speak' colour in my mind is probably key over latency even if it kills gaming on it.

You can't turn the smaller monitor you mention into portrait mode...

[21blue64]

I'd replace the monitor stands. That's fine and if they do suck, it still has a standard Wall mount that i could use to attach to another mount, or on the wall even. I'm worried about the physical board itself and only heard great reviews.

 

In terms of gaming. I'm very casual and don't need the high response time for COD or any nonsense like that. Civ V is more of my road, or LoL, some RTS... It wouldn't be really quick.

I had the same idea a few months ago. I was going to get a 32" for the middle and a pair of 23's for the outer's. But you can't do it mate, they all have to be either in portrait or landscape mode.

If you wanted a 30" 2560x1600 monitor with two 1600x1200 monitors in portrait mode on the side (to match pixel density and size exactly) you would need a ~20" 1600x1200 monitor.

 

A 27" 16:9 monitor like the Yamasaki would make the display around 23.5" wide, so if you turned that on its side it would be a lot taller than the 30" 2560x1600 monitor which would be around 16" tall.

 

Usually I don't like mixing different monitors though because the colors won't look uniform across all of them unless you put some effort into calibrating them all.

Then let's say that I still want to do the 30" and the 27" idea.

 

What Monitors would work then?

 

Or in general, the 3 monitor idea - what would work?
