Being new to the eyefinity setup, I'm wondering how everyone decided how much to angle their side screens? I'm running 3x Dell U 2311s and I still haven't settled on a final alignment for the screens. I first started out with a slight angle on the side screens (almost straight) but have been progressively angling them more and more. Just curious as to how others decided on a final setup. :)
 
I just went with what fit on my desk and looked okay. I think mine are canted 15-20 degrees inward just eyeballing it.
 
It's probably all up to personal preference. However you like them is what's best for you, and probably different for every person
 
you just have to try it out, you'll know when its too sharp of an angle cause it won't look right (the sides will seem like they are moving a lot faster than the center).

I personally went with a more shallow angle
 
I set the angle that seemed to work best with my desk, and that gave my peripheral fields the best look at the side screens.

If I were to measure the angle between the center screen and the side screens I'd say its about 30 degrees or so.
If the angle is too sharp it feels like youre in a box, too shallow and you can't see the periphery.

I use landscape only.
The bezels touch each other, no hiding or such, bezel compensation enabled.

I've tried out a variety of bezel minimizing angles in landscape and portrait modes and my favorite is definitely just portrait mode, in a straight line no bezel correction. You get used to auto compensating fo the bezels after a while. When I read subtitles, I don't even notice them anymore. The only game it doesn't work for is fps which need bezel correction.

I landscape I liked about 20-30 degrees with the bezels on the outside monitors hidden behind the center one, but it gives a weird feel since the depth is off.
