I have posted some info on this in the past on my previous builds. Recently I have finally perfected my 55 inch TV Nvidia Surround gaming build and I thought I would post some info and tips about it. Maybe even a picture.

1 - Make sure you pick out a low latency TVs. I found a wonderful resource for this on the net.
http://www.displaylag.com/ - I went with 3 Toshiba 55 inch TVs 2012 model I got used on Amazon for around 750 to 850 dollars a peice. http://www.toshiba.com/us/tv/3d/55l6200u

2 - Make sure all 3 TVs are the same Brand and Model - Very important! This will cause you a lot of headaches and sync issues if there not.

3 - Plan out how much horse power you want and need for the games you want to play. 3 TVs or Monitors take quite a bit more GPU power at 5760 x 1080 than just 1 at 1920 x 1080.

4. Windows 7 and Windows 8 still do not properly handle Multiple monitors the best. You might want to look into some software to help you manage your multiple display windows. Personally I am using Display Fusion.

Hope this helps anyone who is looking forward to this for themselves. I have updated the specs of my build in my Signature.

 
Subtle bragging....jk.. :DI'm mad jelly. I wouldn't even know what to do other than sit and admire the setup!

As far as sync issues, dunno about tvs...well, I had in this order from left to right a 27" tv(5ms), 27" monitor(5ms), and a 23" monitor (2ms)and had no issues syncing. Only issue was having to try and line up the 23" as best to match the lines with the 27". All 1080p btw.

The only time I racked my brain is when I added a 4th 24" tv. I had to unplug, plug, enable, disable, screens but eventually got it.

Again, badass setup! Grab a 5760 x 1080 wallpaper! Are those your personal pics of your cats? Very nice.

Lol. Nope, not my personal cats. The individual wall paper is actually being done by Display fusion. Which is kind of unique because all 3 monitors are in a Spanned display there instead of individual monitors. Typically you cannot assign different wallpapers when there in a spanned display.
