3 monitors setup

[Nickolas47]

I am thinking of going with a tri monitor setup, i was looking at 3 of theese http://www.e-shop.gr/product?id=PER.170215, tell me your opinion

overpriced... http://www.e-shop.gr/product?id=PER.161961 this one is better and cheaper.

They're almost exact same price.. And I wouldn't say the Dell is "better". They're both rated very well, though the ASUS usually etches the Dell away slightly in reviews.

Go for these - LG 23ea63v - I own 3 of them and they are amazing, and extremely good for the price.

Dell is factory calibrated and has much better stand for 3 monitor setup.

Response time doesn't mean anything. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2414h.htm

Or go with this one because these ones are close to the Asus.

The response time spec is bull. The way it's measured for gtg has little to no regulation. Ignore it.

My only beef with the response time being complete BS is.. Obviously, these monitors DO have a response time, and some ARE going to be faster.. How exactly do you know which is faster than the other? For example, the 3 monitors mentioned in this thread - ASUS, Dell, LG - are all 3 great monitors. Excluding price, how would you decide which is better, per say for gaming if you're looking for the faster one? Would you just have to trust reviews, or is there an actual way of figuring it out.. before buying?

There are some in-depth reviewers that would measure the actual BTB or WTW response time as well as Ghosting or any other relevant details.

of these three monitors mentioned here which do you sugest?

Gotcha. So just as I figured, and as usual, just go by trusted reviews.

 

So, @WoodenMarker - what IPS Monitors are the highest rated for gaming? Or, could you link me to some reviews where I can decide for myself? I tried to google it, but I get either "top rated gaming monitors" (TN) or "top rated monitors" (IPS) I'm having no luck finding the mix of the 2.. Top rated IPS monitors for gaming. Aka, the fastest IPS panels.

If anyone else knows of any reviews out there for which IPS panels were reviewed specifically for gaming, please do let me know!

Modern displays have pretty low response times in general as is. You probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway.

I'd personally go for the Dell for the better stand and vesa mount.

I don't care about the stand, I'll be VESA mounting 3 displays together over time. NVidia Surround and whatnot. I currently own a ViewSonic VA2431wm monitor, which is a TFT LCD, and I game just fine on it. It's rated @ 5ms response, again bogus or not, but the monitor works great for me. I'll be buying 2 IPS monitors, probably ASUS (thanks to you ) and will be using this ViewSonic as the 3rd. Don't prefer to get 3 new monitors right now, as I also need an articulating VESA mount, new desk, and new speakers.

 

I would've never thought I would be looking into Dell monitors.. For me it was always ASUS, BenQ or LG.. But Dell ready does have some gorgeous offerings. I won't be counting them out when I make my final decision tomorrow. 3 weeks of research now. I'm very picky, and will spend lots of extra $$ even if it has black screws instead of silver screws, or something just as trivial as that.

[Nickolas47]

i will get the lg monitors can please someone tell me what cables should i connect between my gpu and the monitors

[IvIast3r]

i have three dell u2414h these http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2414h.htm

 

and they are running is surround, and must i say the bezel is so small i don't even notice it when gaming

 

as for response times i didn't notice any change from my old monitor 

 

and the Nvidia gtx 780 ti does not support display port 1.2 daisy chaining yet

 

EDIT: after getting curious, nvidia does support daisy chaining just not in surround mode

I'm going to recommend this as well, the stand is better and it supports vesa mounting, 4 usb 3.0 ports (1 usb port is above the I/O), it also has displayport which I'll take over HDMI. 

Sure, the Asus MX239H is cheaper but you get a much better display and I/O with the Dell.

AMD supports Daisy Chaining, and I'm curious if one DP connection is really enough to drive multiple displays in Eyefinity?  It certainly would save on cable clutter at least from the back of your PC side of things, you still may need a hub but since the monitor already has DP 1.2 output I don't think that is needed.

yes dp 1.2 can support 5670 x 1080 @ 60 hz and in q2 2014 dp 1.3 can do 8k

 

and i read that  daisy chaining is in beta for nvidia but i didn't do that much research into because 2 more cables isn't that much more

And that's one thing I wish Nvidia would get on, their professional cards have nview and mosaic and are so much better than surround, those features should not cost thousands more than a geforce card!
