Ok, I'm going to make the purchase this week on one of these setups. My options are (highest to lowest):
3x Dell 24inch U2410 NEW $549/per $1647 Total
3x Dell 24inch U2410 NIB eBay $495/per $1485 Total (A03 or A04 waiting on confirmation)
1x Dell 30inch U3011 NEW $1399 Total
1x Dell 30inch U3011 NIB eBay $1288 Total
1x Dell 30inch U3011 Refurb from dell $899 Total (90day warranty)
3x Dell 23inch U2311H NEW $280/per $840 Total
3x Dell 23inch U2311H NIB eBay $269/per $807 Total
I'm currently using 2x Asus VW266H's, one as primary one as secondary, and game in 1900x1200. If I get the 30inch, one of my VW266H's will be used as a secondary. If I go 3x1, I will either give one of the old monitors to my sister and/or sell one or both. Majority of my time is spent on WoW, but I also play Blackops BC2 metro2033 dirt2 and several other games. This computer is my main computer, I'm on it most of the day for schoolwork, gaming, browsing the internet etc. I will probably run the 3x1 setup in Portrait, I currently have an i7 950@4ghz with 2 570's in sli.
I recently made a thread asking how wow handles portrait, got good responses, so my choice really is about price vs. overall enjoyment to be honest. Looking around the forum, people are split, some love their 3x1's, some love their single large monitors, so it really comes down to what's really worth the price out of that list above.
This is half a "help me decide" thread as well as a "which would you get" thread.
