After doing some research, I've decided that a 3x1 setup is the best compromise for my Eyefinity setup. I plan on using it for widescreen gaming and tri-monitor daily use (no photography editting). I'd like the option of doing both landscape and portrait, and am willing to buy monitor arms for displays without pivots. I have two possible setups so far, and I'm open to suggestions/tweaks.
1) Three 27" HP 2710m, buying single deskmount monitor arms for each display
2) Three 24" Dell U2410W / 24" HP ZR24W
The reasoning behind setup 1) is that I currently have one 2710m monitor, and I love it. It has a glossy finish, and I like how the colors pop. I don't have any glare issues in my room so it works out nicely. I also have found two open-box 2710m displays on sale for about $220 each at my local MicroCenter so option 1) is very cost-effective. I'd need to then buy monitor arms, since the base that comes with this monitor is not adjustable. I also know nothing about monitor arms and also would appreciate suggestions. The 2710m monitor weighs 21 pounds, so I think I'd have an easier time going with three single arms instead of one triple arm.
I'm very open to suggestions when it comes to setup 2). Personally, I'm not bothered by the viewing angles and color distortion of TN monitors (blasphemy on these forums, I know). What I like about the monitors in 2) is the thin bezel (the 2710m has very large bezels) and base that supports both portrait and landscape. Are there any other 24" (or 27") TN monitors that have a similarly thin bezel and pivot rotation?
TL;DR
-What's a good deskmount single monitor arm that can support a 21 lbs. monitor?
-What's a good 24" or 27" TN monitor with thin bezels and supports both portrait and landscape?
