If you wait a little longer, you can get one of the new monitors that use G-Sync (if you use a Nvidia 6XX card or newer) and kill two birds with one stone.

Some time ago I tried out my big flatscreen TV (TOSHIBA REGZA) - that was like being there in the air, in the cockpit. I was ca. 2 feet away fro it's surface, and it looked great. Must actually do that again.

I has a 22" Acer for a long time (now my secondary monitor for maps) and changed for a 27" Iiyama, find it the right size for me. Haven't got enough space for anything bigger anyway I still think 16:10 monitors were better suited for flight sims than 16:9. And I see some people thinking about 21:9 !!

I have a three screen wrap around arrangement at 3840 x 1024. Combined with Track IR the peripheral vision it affords really increased my situational awareness, and made combat in a wide variety of sims much more enjoyable.

I also have a three screen Eyefinity setup. Centre screen is an LG 19" and the two outers are Samsung 19". I run WOFF on a small SSD (Intel 60Gb) with my AMD 965 o/c to 4Gb and ASUS HD7750 1Gb memory o/c from 840 to 1000. The Eyefinity setup definitely slows the fps but I am happy at 40.

Glad you got that to work, Jim With two screens it was not so good because the screen surrounds were in the middle of the view. The other annoying thing is that the card required three separate adaptors - DVI to d-sub, HDMI to d-sub and DisplayPort to d-sub. Luckily the first one came with the card. The strange thing is that when I reboot the bios displays and the boot selection screens appear on the two edge screens. The middle one stays blank until Windoze boots up. You may all wonder why I have three 19" screens and not something bigger - the reason is that only the LG screen is mine - the other two I have 'borrowed' from work where they were not used as the pc's they were connected to stopped working and are not to be replaced. Waste not want not as they say ....

I have an old Matrox TripleHeadToGo box, and an EVGA GTX 670 video card, but you can run three screens directly off the newer Nvidia cards.
