Tripple Monitor Setup - Help me pick the other 2?

[iiNNeX]

So I am building a tripple monitor set-up at the moment, with the central monitor being Asus ROG Swift PG279Q 165hz.

 

The other 2 need to have the following specs and be within £350 (the cheaper the better):

 

- 1440p

- at least 60hz

- IPS

- Thin Bezels and be black framed preferably to match the Asus

 

So far the best deal I can find on quality monitors is this: https://www.nrgit.biz/products/dell-u2715h-27-inch-ultrasharp-monitor-with-alternate-stand-box

 

What are other people's thoughts on the Dell U2715H Ultrasharp? The reason those are discounted is because of wrong colour mount, which is fine by me as they will be wall mounted in my case

 

Any opinions are welcome.

 

Edit: just noticed these have a response time of 8ms... not sure how much worse that is over 4ms, i don't plan to game on these but some games that will run well on tripple screen can be utilised, how much of a negative effect is this?

 

Edit 2: That Dell monitor has a "fast mode" which brings response time of 6ms. Not sure what the downside to that is and why it's not active 24/7?

 

Edit 3: After a lot of searching around it seems like it's going to be between the Benq GW2765HT or the Dell U2715H at the discounted rate. There is simply nothing better for the money, that I can see at least.

There also seems to be this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-GW2765HT-Widescreen-Multimedia-Monitor/dp/B00M913DVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503661990&sr=8-1&keywords=BenQ+GW2765HT

 

But reading some of the comments, suffers from poor QC? Also thick bezels it seems too, but it's cheaper and 4ms?

 

Edit: Also found another one that might fit the bill, Acer CB271HU. I can find it for £279.89 from Scan.co.uk

Well, just bought 2 of the Dells so we ll see how that goes.

Got a picture to share ?

 

Do you plan to add them all to a triple monitor stand ?

I do indeed. And that was the plan, but no single stand could hold all 3 and have as much adjustment as I wanted, so I got 3 single stands instead and it works a lot better

 

 

 

 

 

Just need to spend some time adjusting their height a bit more, and getting them as close as possible to one another. Also have to sort all of the cable management underneath to be nicely hidden and out the way (most likely with double sided tape at the back of the desk). 

 

Waiting on my RGB LED Strip to arrive now for some ambient back-lighting

I'm doing the same thing! Except you do realize that if you want to use all three in surround (7680*1440) you won't be able to take advantage of the g-sync from the ASUS.

I'd only game on the middle one. The others is for extra content during gaming (so if you are streaming and such or just want a few things on the side).

 

But yeah even without gsync, BF1 on all 3 was an awesome experience.

Here is BF1 Running in 7680x1440 on an EVGA 1050ti SSC (oc'd) at Low/medium settings (CPU is FX6300 at 4.7ghz). This is my temp/test PC while my 8700k build is put together:

 

 

Only problem I am having is syncing the colours between all 3. 

 

I used TFT central to download the ICC profiles, and did the recommended calibration but I think to truly get them to look the same, I need to buy a calibration device.

Looks awesome! I have been literally planning the exact same setup as you, I've just setup a Dell U2715H, and i'm damn happy. First screen that I've owned over 1080p. My only complaint is when I'm using my consoles on it, they look like crap, as 1080p isn't up scaled very well to 1440.
