Yeah, it's awesome, especially for racing games.
With NFSW when you get rammers who can't win on fair grounds you can brake early before they swing over so you can get away and they have to start from scratch.
Plus it looks cool.
Meanwhile, it's like being surrounded with heaters, my desk area was so warm from the computer and monitors.

Solution: Position a fan

My solution was simply maning up.

Whats the MS on those monitors? Never really went that extreme, i remember going 2 side by side 24's but i couldnt get used to the 2 screen thing with the gap in the middle and they just never seem to line up perfectly

Now i just run everything like that on my main 24 and everything else on the 2 others (32" and 42") as i cant stand more than 2ms
(yea i know right how much of a nerd am i noticing an extra typical 3ms?)

In any case, looks like a sweet setup - next step is a 360deg simulator

The primary is 2ms, the 2 outers are the norm 5ms.
As they are off to the side and not as important it didn't phase me.
I'm not in to 3D, so the whole same monitor factor wasn't a concern.

The annoying thing as you can all see if the difference in color, spent the good part of 30mins trying everything, but that was as close as I can get, the camera shows it to be worse than it is.

I used to run a 2 screen set up with extended desktop, this was great for multitasking as you could snap windows accordingly to one screen, but I often found the right side monitor off.
In the end the 2 Philips came up dirt cheap and couldn't resist.

The wife is now getting a 2 screen setup in my old fashion.

Haha, yeah, seen those.

Meanwhile, no way in hell I'm paying that much for it.

Even better than that is the ones without the bezel around each monitor.

And by the way, that link Shane is for the children, this is the mans version.

Not entirely.

The problem lyes in the largest resolution to which your single 40" screen can produce.
Otherwise I'd have simply hooked up the TV
