Im looking to buy x6 monitors for a hex monitor setup. 3 on 3 monitors. My budget per monitor is $200 anything more is really pushing.

I just want a decent monitor. IPS, SLIM BEZELS, thatll work for what i want as my setup.

Im currently looking at both Dell:....

Dell S2415H Black 23.8" 6ms = $199.99 / 179.99ish
Con: Only HDMI port on monitors, Id have to use converters and worry about quality lose. Please inform me if im wrong here...
Con: I'd plan to buy a 1 or 2 cheap gpus to power the the extra 2 monitors as my gpu only have 4 output.
Which all but one would be converted to hdmi...


&

Dell U2414H Black 23.8" 8ms = $229.99ish
Con: This is pushing the budget per monitor
Pro: more port options

Last one is ..

Dell U2415 Black 24.1" 6ms 1920x1200 IPS = $319.99 / 254.79 ish
Con: really pushing budget per monitor, Wallet not happy.
Pro: More ports, Tiny bit higher res, 1" bigger

They alll look great and i like the design of these monitors other then the bottom part where it sticks out that could cause problems with aligning these monitors all together PERFECTLY (ocd).

Anyone recommend a better monitor to go with that has slim bezels, and would work in a 6 monitor 3 on top of 3 setup PERFECTLY lined (OCD) lol? BTW id only use one for gaming.

Personally I would try to push it for the u2415 due to the specs, however as a u2414 user I can say that I am extremely happy with this monitor. The ultrasharp series of dell are really on another level. Overall you have pretty much the best choices for the budget lined up.

So cool thing, if you're going to get a 6 monitor 3x3 mount, you can flip the top monitors upside down, so that larger bottom bezel is on top, and then, when in windows you can tell it to rotate/flip the display so it will look right and you'll be using the thin top and side bezels in between all the monitors, as well as having easier access to the top row's power buttons since they'll be on top.

You can also add another cheap ($50ish) GPU to your system to power any extra monitors you have that you aren't going to run fancy 3d graphics on.
