Monitors for Nvidia Surround

SideOrderOfBacon · August 24, 2015

Hi guys, I saw Linus talk about nvidia surround @

However, he never goes into anything about what kinds of monitors to use, and what is that stand they are using in the video? What monitors are they even using?

I have two 970's, and want to get started with this, but I want to make sure to buy 3 monitors that will give a decent experience without breaking the bank.

Considering the three display ports, one hdmi, and one dvi, it'd be amazing to get three monitors with displayport inputs, around 24", and as thin a bezel as possible. Also, is greater than 60Hz worth it with that sort of setup? Any recommendations?

Dell U2414H is probably the best for this kind of setup. IPS, thin bezels and DP connections.

Above 60Hz is nice, if your system can run it above 60FPS. With surround and SLI 970s, it's unlikely to be getting much over 60FPS with high settings.

As for a mount, Ergotron is the best place to look, though they are expensive. Take a look at Duronic as well, and if you're in the UK, Novatech have some good triple mounts.

BenQ make a lot of monitors... Reading the brand on the monitors doesn't really help.

Unfortunately, all of BenQ's monitors look very similar, so it's hard to tell the model from just looking at them.
