Need help setting up 4 displays!

[MoidRage]

Hey guys, I've posted a couple posts about setting up 4 displays and got some good feedback. I've picked out what I want but being new to this need some advice on what will work.

 

So I have a 48" Samsung TV that will go above a 24" Samsung triple monitor setup.

 

My video card is a PowerColor TurbDuo R9 280X, its display ports is as follows:

VGA Output - Yes, by DVI to VGA converter

DVI Output - DL DVI-I

DisplayPort - Mini DisplayPort x2

HDMI - HDMI

 

Now with the 48" TV it only has HDMI ouputs, with the triple monitors here are the display info:

 

D-Sub - 1

DVI - No

Dual Link DVI - No

DisplayPort - No

HDMI - 1

USB - No

 

Here is the link to the monitor I want for all 3:

Will I able to hook up all 4 displays using these? Or are the monitors not what I am looking for? The display information through me off a bit, I knew you can get adapters and such, but as I said before I am brand new to multiple monitor/displays setups and could really use some help.

 

Thanks in advance.

Well assuming the TV only can be connected via HDMI that removes HDMI from the running for the other 3 monitors, what you will need is a monitor with DVI connectors... you can then have the 3 monitors hooked up via DVI, 2 of which you would need to use a cable such as this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00DJCB83O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419579328&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+displayport+to+dvi or a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter and then plug in your DVI to that to your monitors. I might recommend these monitors for the 3 http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS248H-P-24-Inch-Full-HD-LED-lit/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419579439&sr=8-1&keywords=24%22+1080p+monitor and those should be able to get the job done. That monitor also has the capability for a VESA mount in case you ever wanted to get a monitor stand (I.e ergotron). Hope this helps and doenst confuse the crap out of you...if so let me know.

Thank you so much for your help! So basically with the monitors I need DVI for them, and just get the adapters?

 

Sorry to be a pain, but this is the shop I am getting my monitors from (I think so anyway, I've always shopped from them unless I can find a better deal):

That is the monitor page, could you recommend a monitor (to have as the triple monitor setup)? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks again!

One monitor can run on HDMI.

One would need to be connected using a DVI to HDMI adaptor.

Two would need to be connected using mini display port to cdmi adaptors.

 

All these parts are available from PC Case Gear

 

If you were to use a different monitor you would probably still need to use at least on adaptor as most monitors don't have all three connections.

So I can still get the monitors I originally wanted and just get the correct adapters?

 

Thanks guys really appreciate the help, hopefully I don't stuff this up

Sorry to be a pain still, OK so I already have 2 HDMI to Mini Display Port adapters, so all I would need now is a HDMI to DVI adapter correct?

So with all your help and advice, I have chosen this BenQ monitor for the 3 monitor setup, I hope I've picked right:
