    Hello, I need to get a setup where I can run six monitors at 1920x1080

    This is going to be purchased by my employer, so I need to keep the cost down. Everything has to be dell, but I don't want a precision workstation or anything thats going to run that kind of cost. The monitors will run off an E-series docking station. Ideally, I want to run 3 monitors per display port on the docking station. I am open to options like display port hubs if they lower the cost.

    Any suggestions on a setup? Maybe <$200 per monitor... All monitors will be used to run remote apps, or excel or something of that nature... no video processing, etc.
