Looking for advice on a 290 setup

Got 2x290's coming my way this week. I was running 2x460's for awhile. I have three 24" monitors and a 40" TV I run through the cards (Card1: 2 monitors , Card2: monitor and TV). I always had a pain in the ass time with trying to go from surround to dual display when I wanted to use the TV for some reason. I usually game either in surround or two screens active (one in game other using chrome). I only use the TV when I want to easily throw a movie on from the computer. I run 1920x1080 or 5760x1080.

With the new cards people are using different resolutions. I found that 5760x1080 on the 460's was difficult on the eyes because the frames were pretty low and no matter what I did the side monitors always appeared out of proportion. Maybe this won't be a problem on the new cards, I'm hearing 4k might even be possible with them. Now that I have the 920's I would appreciate some setup suggestions and advice you might have.

2x 290's will eat up 5760x1080. I ran that resolution with a single 290 reference and Didnt really have any real complaints.
