Recommendations for Triple-Monitor Setup

Hi everyone, so I'm planning to buy a new computer next year when Ivy bridge and the new series of GPUs drop, but I wanna start getting some components now that aren't so volatile so I'm thinking monitor(s) keyboard/mouse, etc. I wanna do a triple-monitor setup, i.e. Eyefinity or 3D Surround. Problem is, I know nothing about monitors. Do any of you guys, preferably with triple-monitor experience, have any recommendations for any monitors that work well next to each other? By this I mean, that they conform well to each other and are just genuinely good quality.

I'm looking to spend ~$200 per monitor, give or take ~$50 if anything. My preferences are 21.5-23/24 inches, black colored, sleek/slim and 1080p is a must. As far as LCD/LED is concerned, I don't really know enough about them to decide. Oh and I'm not a big fan of Gateway or Dell too, if that matters.

Thanks in advance,

 

Well, if you can get something like 3 Dell U2212HM, or 3 IPs monitors you'd find the experience quite nice. IPS monitors are more expensive, but they have better overall colors and viewing angles. 3 IPS monitors is gonna cost you, think $600 or more at the very least. 600$ if you can get 22" IPS displays on sale. I would get three identical monitors at the very least so you won't have huge differences in the default color calibration of the monitors, especially if you intend to game on 3 monitors.

I own a LG IPS226V and i have to say it destroys all the TN panels i've seen so far. If i have the money, i'd be running three of those.

 

To be honest, Dell makes some great monitors in that size range. Ever seen the Dell Ultrasharp line?

EDIT: tijo beat me to the Ultrasharps

 

I'm assuming you mean $600 EACH for the IPS monitors right? Because the cheapest I've seen them run for is around a thousand.

I probably should have been clear about price though. I knew I forgot something. I'll amend my post. But basically, I'm looking to spend ~$200 per monitor, maybe give or take ~$50.

Well I had a really bad Dell computer like 10 years ago, but I suppose that's enough time for improvement so I'm open-minded as far is brand is concerned.

 

Actually, the Dell U2212HM is an IPS display and runs more in the 250$ range, i got my LG IPS226V on sale at NCIX for $180. The smaller IPS panels are getting more affordable. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&oc=u2212hm&s=biz. The 23" version is on sale right now: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...ynoteSearch&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=0

 

Actually that Dell one looks great, and affordable too. I'm wondering now though, would it be possible to buy one now and get the other 2 a few months down the road when I have an actual rig that can support them? I'm not sure how often monitor models refresh or like how often they're given noticeable upgrades.
