Triple Screen Setup swap?

Guys,
I currently run 2 x Dell 2208WFP and 1 x Dell E2210F screens for my iRacing/rFactor 2 sim rig. However they are so impractical for my small house and 3 kids that i am considering moving to a 1 x HDTV setup.

Is there anyone in or around the Cardiff area that would consider swapping my 3 1680x1050 screen's for their 1 1080p hdtv (the bigger the better). I would also include the Displayport adaptor and the DVI cables.

A couple of things to note. One of the 2208wfp's came with a stand from a different monitor and is consequently lower sitting and needs to be propped up to sit level with the other 2 screens. Also, the E2210F doesn't match colour wise as well as i would like but as i use it as a side monitor i don't really notice it. Also, the screen has a couple of small marks that can be seen when it is off but I don't notice them when they are on.

If anyone is interested then just shoot me a PM.

Cheers
Marcus.

I empathise with your situation, but your solution may not be what you expect. A HDTV has a high resolution but also very large pixels. They are designed to be viewed from a distance. This could work for you provided you actually intend to use the HDTV from a distance and not a monitor replacement on a desk. A better option might be to swap for a larger (say 27 inch) monitor. Apologies if you already know all this - some may not.
