budget surround gaming

[Coltwang333]

I have a GTX 680 and i wanted to have three monitors again, im only going to be able to play some games across all three i understand that, so im thinking should i buy 2 IPS monitors either side of a 144hzmonitor for when im mostly doing just solo-monitor gaming, a, or should i still buy three of the same monitor anyway, ive been told the different panels will really effect the immersion so im not sure,

currently ive been on 60hz TN/IPS monitors for years so not having 144hz wont kill me

thank you 😛

Get three identical monitors. No matter how much you mess with the color settings, two panels are so different that you will never get them to match up right and you will just be angry until you sell the odd man out and buy another identical one.

Would it be better to get 3 gaming monitors? at 144hz whihc have a larger bezel and cost more or should i get some cheaper narrow bezel 1ms monitors ?

I got the cheap ones. Depends on your budget though.

Hello. With triple monitor setup, it's required you use IPS displays. This is because the viewing angles even slightly off center, look horrible on TN-LCD panels. The little story about using different monitors, be it size, contrast or color. Buying 3 TN monitors for a triple setup, is going to bother you as much, or more.

This is not true to everyone. I had 3 TN panels and they were fine and I am a lame non visual snob who never noticed any angle issues with color quality going down. A 10-30 degree angle is not distorting color in my opinion. That is not to say IPS panels are not better. They are way better, but I cared more about the wide screen effect with 3 panels than color/contrast quality which is the main reason to get an IPS panel. I felt that each monitor carried equal color quality while playing 5760x1080 games.

I should not have made it look like it was a fact. However, I have seen cheap TN panels, and that's what my eyes saw. It's possible things have gotten better on the cheap side, because I haven't been using a TN panel for ~5 years now. My mistake.
