Acer H236HL Bid, the thin bezel will make it so much better and they're cheap.

Yes its awesome but that is not out yet and a tripple moniter setup will be good for general gaming andproductivity. Thank you for your input though :)

is he wanting to play it competetively? If so I would recommend a 120/144hz monitor.

no just for fun my dad and brother love to play racing games so we have a decent wheel for it and my dad went to the nascar hall of fame or something and saw the setups they had there so he want to see if he could do that. Also It will be running of my rig so having that fps might not happen in surround.
