Im looking for 3- 24" Displays for my 3D Nvidia Surround Setup. (Gaming Only, FPS,Driving Mainly)


1920x1080 is ideal resolution = 5760x1080 Total.

I liked the look of the BenQ XL2410T but not sure on the 3D Quality?
Would the New Samsungs (750D) Be worth it for double the price?

Thanks Guys.
 
The Samsung models will be out this month, at this point might as well wait. 1x 27" S27A750/950 will give a far more immersive experience than eyefinity 3D, will be cheaper as well.

what gpus are planning on running?
 
Im going for the 3D Nvidia Surround, and want 3 monitors.

Going to get 2 x 580GTX 3gb versions.
 
There are many pitfalls when it comes to landscape eyefinity set ups by itself and the viewing angles of TN panels. I suggest you do some research if you haven't all ready.
 
Yup I realise this, Im going for Nvidia surround , not eyefinity. With all 3 panels directly facing me head on the vieiwing angle shouldnt be an issue.

Also looking for the monitors to have a small bezel.

Surround and Eyefinity are two different names for essentially the same thing. They certainly share the same problems when it comes to TN viewing angles.
Placing the panels flat, instead of the more traditional angled side monitors, will actually increase the issues you might have with TN viewing angles.

Have extensively used a trio of TN paneled Dell s2409w, as well as a trio of EIPS paneled HP ZR24w monitors. Obviously not in 3d. I did not notice the poor viewing angles of the TN monitors when playing racing games, I only noticed it a little in fast FPS and action titles, but I did notice it quite a bit, to the point of not using it when playing RTS and some other slow paced games. The EIPS ZR24w did not have these issues despite not having the greatest, for an IPS anyway, viewing angles.

Yes I realise they are the same thing by different companies.

Should of made it clearer perhaps, Im going to be using the monitors for gaming, therefor having the outer 2 angled as most users do, all be it peripheral.

The new Samsung 23&27 750D im interested in alot - very thin bezels, 120hz, sure could use a little more res though.
Although not officially supported by Nvidia, I dont see why it wont work with 3rd party drivers/software?

There are lots of rumors floating around that the upcoming Samsung 3D monitors will not work with Nvidia 3D. There is not a lot of hard information, but it's all but confirmed that it is not officially supported (i.e. has not been certified / licensed), and whether it will work at all (with or without workarounds) remains to be seen.
 
Nv 3d should theoretically work with any monitor that truly supports 120Hz.
 
The Samsung's are not compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision or Surround. Nvidia rules this market with an iron-fist, and charges companies big $$$ to get "certified". Even if the monitor is 120Hz, it doesn't matter. They need to pay the Nvidia tax. Only purchase products that are listed on Nvidia's compatibility page unless you like headaches.

From what I have read, I would recommend getting the Planar SA2311W. That is the model I would get if I had the money for this whole surround business. Supposedly it has the least crosstalk out of any of the options. You can read a review here: http://3dvision-blog.com/review-of-the-23-planar-sa2311w-3d-vision-ready-lcd-monitor/
 
Not that I particularly cared for 3d anyway, but it is yet another reason for me to avoid Nv products. I should have guessed it would be something like this. They invented the SLI tax, (otherwise known as the buy our chip set or pay us a fee or we put a driver block for SLI functionality with your mobo), after all.
