I am going to run 3 monitors off of two graphics card.

1 37 inch 1920x1080 westinghouse pmva lcd
2 24 inch 1920x1200 soyo pmva lcd's


The soyo's will be turned sideways (so 1200x1920??)

What will my final resolution be? I will run it all as one big display.

I am not sure if I can force the soyo's resolution to 1920x1080 but i will try so it all matches. Anyone?
 
You need to match screen edge resolutions to be able to calculate a uniform horizontal / vertical resolution.
 
Just in case I'm not following you correctly...

Horizontal resolutions can be anything but vertical resolutions must match to get uniform resolution.
Once you have matched vertical resolutions you then need to ideally match the screen sizes so they fit together well.
As you are turning the edge screens on their side and the central monitor is using 1080p vertical, your side monitors would need to be specced as 1080p horizontal to match.

However if you dont require uniform resolution, you can mix and match a little easier.
I suggest playing around with a few monitors to see if odd edge resolutions are suitable for you.
Also bear in mind that not using native resolution on an LCD looks blurred if not running 1:1 pixel mapping. Some LCDs do not allow 1:1 pixel mapping.
