Post subject:  27" LCD x 3 - Portrait vs Landscape

Got a nice Xmas bonus coming, so since I already got the GTX 780, time to upgrade my 3x22" to 3x27".

Obviously I want thin bezel, but I am also thinking that 27" is pretty big, is it time to consider going portrait 3x27"?

I found this Samsung LCD http://www.legendmicro.com/store/9452_Samsung-S27C750P-27in-LED-Monitor--Ultra-thin-Bezel-Pivot-Tilt-Stand-S27C750P.lmsp?RID=23&gclid=CIC6tNGP6roCFQ8OOgodNygAAw on sale refurbished, it's in my budget and supports portrait, thoughts?

(I would like to keep the cost to < $300 per monitor).

Decided to go Asus, matte finish, small bezel, landscape. Bought 3 @ $250 each on Amazon and they are amazing. Very bright, have turned down thru Nvidia Control Panel to 35% brightness.

Colors are rich, but don't know about this 178 degrees viewing for IPS panels, you can definitely see washing out sooner than that.

So far only problem is now when I maximize a window it goes across all three screens again, doh! Have tried all the obvious, will likely be fixed when I update drivers again...

!!UPDATE!! - Just updated to R331.93 Beta, and windows now maximize to one screen ***BUT*** they maximize below and behind the start bar, so still messed up...how many years does it take to make this work correctly???


3x27" takes up a lot of room! 64" from left edge to right edge. Overall happy and with 1920x1080x3 (instead of going for those higher res Korean models) I don't have to upgrade my video card quite yet...

Soon...another GTX 780...
