Debating between 3x 24"s or 1x 30"

[EvilViking]

Having a hard time here. I been reading for about a month straight. And I see it almost cut down the middle as far as peoples preference between having a 30" monitor or 3 monitors in eyefinity. I am to planning on applying for HP's financing and picking a route tonight.

I'm debating between:

HP ZR30w @ 2560x1600 $1299
or
3x HP ZR24w (portrait mode) in eyefinity $1275


This setup is strictly for gaming and web browsing. No editing, movie watching etc.

I mainly play WoW, RTS games, maybe some racing games, waiting for Starcraft2 and Diablo3. Not into Shooter games what so ever.

What do you guys think?

For games get the 3x HP ZR24w's , since you already have a 5870 you can make use of Eyefinity. The ZR30w looks nice but I think for gaming Eyefinity rocks.

sounds like the 3x option would work pretty well for you ...

if you have cash and can bargain I'd personally just get some barely used stuff and go for something like a 20-30-20 (PLP) setup

good luck, they're both nice configurations...sure you'll be happy either way!
