    Posted: 12 Jan 2010 at 2:26pm
I finally got my hands on a 5970 card that I was planning on using with an Apple 30'' display.  I have been reading a little bit and thought it might be cool to instead buy 3x (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001317) and try Eye Infinity.

Does anyone have any experience with this?  Would it be worth to replace a 30'' for 3x 23'' monitors?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks!!

it's personal prefrence really, some like it and some don't

Some can live with the bezels showing, some can't
There is another solution Ultra thin Bezel by Samsung
They have a tri set-up and a 6  monitor set-up
price is 1800-3100
 
I personally want to try out eyefinities on samsungs new monitor series for eyefinity with ultra thin bezels.

It's not released yet, but I had a thread going about it, asking if anyone else has heard about it, and Justin.kerr was kind enough to post it.
I've read it from a different site though, but literally states the same thing.
Just about what the estimated prices are set at.
And it's looking pretty good.
tri-setup is about equal to a 30" monitor

Wow! How much is each new monitor? That's the real question. Is a 0.5" thiner bezel worth the extra cash?

Looks like it will be around 516.00 per monitor (its 3100 for six apparently)- I don't know if they would charge more per monitor if you bought outside of the bundled 3 or 6 packs...

curious as to the specs of each monitor though- I would imagine pretty high end.

Don't forget to count the amount of the stand that will be holding the displays.
triset up stands usually go from 200-500
