I need some advice, if I buy 3 SLI GX 280 1Gig  from digitalstorm do I need to buy 3 moniters.  Can the 3 video cards run on a single monitor like maybe a 30inch samsung.  Because I don't need that many monitors, all I want is perfect resolution maybe like 2560X1900Ouch

The whole point of SLI is to run at very high resolutions on one monitor. You just need to plug your monitor into the top card, you don't need additional monitors to plug into the other cards.

all tevision sets actually have a lower resolution than monitors fyi.

GTX 280 supports a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600.

Well if you got 3  280s *chuckle* than you got some serious bussines going on under ur PCs hood dude. And as others alrdy said, they support 2560x1600 resolution. But to be honest dont worrie about anything, those cards will keep you strong on 1 monitor for quiet a long time with any game. Ermm
