Im upgrading to dual gtx 780's sli and i want to upgrade my displays aswell.

 

i think i want to do nvida surround as iv never done that before but im so lost on a good display.

 

My budget for all 3 displays is about 800-900 NZD. so approx 750 USD

 

Please help me with which monitor is a good idea, or even if you have a better solution for me, i.e two 1440p monitors or anything?!

 

IPS displays only please, need around 24"

 

thanks alot

If you had to go for surround, I'd pick between the Acer H236HL (glossy) or the Asus VN248H-P IPS (matte). The Acer monitor is better suited for surround since it has the least obtrusive bezels.

Desktop: Intel Core i7-5820K, Corsair H115i, Asus X99-Deluxe/USB 3.1, G.Skill Ripjaws4 32GB 2800MHz CL16, Zotac RTX 3070, Samsung 950 Pro 512GB in Angelbird Wings PX1, Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 5*Seagate 12TB, Cooler Master V1200, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, Windows 10 Pro. Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

 

AYANEO 2S: AMD 7800U, 32GB 7500MHz, 2TB WD SN850X. Windows 11.

I'm not too sure. I noticed you have another thread about this, but that isn't very conclusive either. 

 

I don't see much wrong with this monitor (except the stand, but I guess you can live with it).

I'd highly recommend a good triple monitor stand, frees up so much space on your desk, looks great and makes adjustment easy :)

 

If you want one you will need a monitor with a VESA mount

Corsair 650D, i5-4690K (Corsair h50 cooler), Asus ROG maximus VII Ranger, Asus GTX 980ti Strix, 16GB Corsair Vengeance pro series Red (2x8gb 2400mhz), Corsair HX850W, Asus Xonar Essence STX, Sennheiser HD595 / Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250 ohm, Samsung 850 pro 128GB / WD black/blue/green, OCZ vertex 3 60gb . Corsair M40/Corsair k70.
