Eyefinity using 21:9?

[TeamTactical]

Hey guys.

 

I currently am running a 5760*1080 Eyefinity setup using this monitor.

A friend of mine is wanting to buy one of my monitors off me, and so I have been considering possible upgrade paths that would not leave me too out of pocket.

I am considering replacing the middle 16:9 panel with a 21:9 panel, such as the ones linked below. Has anybody here tried that?

What are your suggestions? Should I keep my three identical 22" monitors, or should I replace one with an Ultrawide?

 

Thanks!

 

Ultrawides I am considering:

(Please keep in mind that I live in Australia in case you want to suggest I buy it at US prices from a US store. Also, my maximum budget for new monitors is absolutely no more than $500, and I want to upgrade on the cheap if possible)

I've used the LG myself, and a friend has the AOC (he doesn't game all that much though). I vote on the LG.

Eyefinity with a 21:9 and two 16:9's at the side...that would be cool! I don't know if anyone's done it, but if given the chance, I would. Sounds killed, although a bit overkill in my eyes (pun intended) with how the 21:9 fit my vision fairly well personally

I would get the one that has vesa mounts if any. 

 

kinda something like this? i know its not 21:9 but closest ive seen and i love these setups

Could you tell me a little more about the size difference of the 25" and 29" ultrawide monitors?

Which would be better suited to being flanked by 22" 16:9's? 

Is the 29" worth the extra $150?

Yeah something kind of like that, but with all monitors being in landscape mode.

 

As for VESA mounts, I can't find any stands that would support this setup, with the 21:9 screen being too wide.

I can barely even find a 1+3 stand for 24" monitors that has the adjustability I would like for a reasonable price.

The 25" is going to be around the vertical height of a 23" or so 16:9 monitor. Maybe a little smaller. It should fit better aesthetically with your current 16:9's. However, if you want more screen space, the 29" would look nice as well, but might not be tall enough for the 22" monitors to be in a vertical format next to them. (and the friend I mentioned complains about colour reproduction and contrast with it, but he's a nitpicky pre/post production worker on video and image stuff)

Does anybody know if a Portrait Landscape Portrait setup with these screens would be possible using Crossfire and Eyefinity? Thanks.
