Basically looking to end up with 3 monitors, don't know what to do. 

My current setup is one BenQ RL2455HM that WILL be getting an upgrade sometime soon, and a Dell 2001FP to the left, and portrait.

My idea is to get rid of the 2001FP and replace it with two Dell Ultrasharp 1909w's, but unfortunately, their resolutions are pretty... bleh. 1440*900, pixel density is okay, but I'll be downsampling for sure because I downsample everything :D

This is the ebay listing for the 1909w's:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Professional-1909W-19-LCD-Widescreen-Monitor-5ms-300-cd-m-1440x900-USB-DVI/321681547355?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D29384%26meid%3D49ec21a6654d4f8c8d5bff83a65561c6%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D20%26sd%3D171483208528

 

Either that or I could get one more Dell 2001FP (great resolution, 1600*1200) but i personally don't like 4:3 that much.

OR you guys could recommend another monitor (2 of the same type please) under $80 for both.

 

The reason for this cheap surround idea is because I do a lot of flight simulator and surround is a VERY nice experience with FS. 

Thanks

1920x1080 LG24EN43, they are good gaming monitors when your on a budget, though sub $80 is difficult.
