Eyefinity with different sized monitors.

I'm thinking of upgrading to an Eyefinity setup once somebody makes a waterblock for the 6990.
I can't use 30" displays because I'll lose the ability to do 7.1 sound via HDMI. I've not found a HDMI 1.4a AV reciever that can do over 1200p.
I have a 27" 1920x1200 Dell (non-DisplayPort) so I need to find two more similarly sized monitors, the best candidates so far being a couple of HP ZR24W screens.

1. Is different sized panels going to be bad for Eyefinity? I'll only really be using the 27" for non-gaming so I shouldn't have much problem with mis-matched window/taskbars and until I can find/build a triple display mount that supports portrait I'll stick to landscape mode.

2. I'm guessing not but will there be any difference in the display lag on the centre screen compared to the two side displays (mixing DP & non-DP) other than what I'll get from using different monitors (and the AV kit)? I've searched and nobody seems to mention any increase/difference in lag from using different ports.
 
as long as they are the same resolution they will work fine. as for it looking weird its possible, depends on the games. if you are doing RTS/RPG/MMO games it might get annoying. might even get annoying in FPS games since on 1 screen a character will look like their in a different position on one screen but they are actually at the same height compared to the other monitor. me personally i'd go with same size displays if your a gamer, if it was just to have triple screens for business/internet use it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
 
I cant find 27" 1200p monitors with DP and I dont want to use something smaller.
