I was recently offered an exchange for my 3x30" Crossover 30Q5 Pro monitors for the Samsung Syncmaster MD230X3 (3x23") + $200.

I am not concerned pricewise. It is the same.

3x30" gives a total of 7680x1600 res in Eyefinity. 3D apps run well.

3x23" gives a total of 5760x1080 res in Eyefinity.

Do you think (spec/price/performance) it is a fair swap?

Thanks in advance.

Considering the cost of 30in monitors, I think its a good deal. Thats a tough resolution to run, but your pc looks like its got it covered. ;)

Personally I just gave up a 5x1080x1920 setup for a 3x2560x1600.

I prefer 3, 30" monitors over the small 23" 1080p monitors anyday.
