IPS vs TN panel for multi monitor setup

[Happily Insan]

trying to find an IPS monitor that meets my requirements and so far i like this on that one, but it lacks the other thing and its just repeats its self to the point of boredom.

Can anyone say that if i were to buy 3 TN panel monitors, and have them mounted with 2 facing towards the center that i will have a lot of ghosting?
seen it written on some forums but no one ive talked to has full on said that its a big no no.

if youu have any monitors for a triple Eyefinity setup (must have a display port) at 3x1920x180p please leave the suggestions below. thanks

A fantastic choice, and Tomshardware Reader's Choice:

ASUS VG248QE - Black 24" 1080p 144hz 1ms

Many reviewers state no Ghosting effects or screen tearing at all. In the reviews tab, there are quite a few people who have or are purchasing 3 of these bad boys to have triple monitor setups.

Hope this helps!

More expensive here, like £230. Not a straight conversion.

So what i gather is that a TN panel monitor is fine for a triple monitor setup?

But IPS is much better for surround gaming. You probably won't have the horsepower to drive more that 60 fps constantly, and 60fps looks pretty good.
TNs are generally bad for surround. They have bad viewing angles.
I would go with the Dell U2414h. Tiny bezel, and good viewing angles, and colour. They also have HDMI. It's pretty much perfect.

im glad you brought that monitor up as i was close to buying it a couple days ago before i read around and discovered issues with its display port and daisy chaining, is that anything i should worry about ?

Those are old issues, new drivers don't have that problem, and Dell has some of the best customer service if something does go wrong which is unlikely.

So i shall have no issue using 1 displayport and 2xHDMI on a triple monitor setup with the Dell U2414H?

Depends, Nvidia or AMD. Eyefinity allows you to hook up monitors with any ports.

i have an AMD card, but from what i read a card can only have 2 ports being used (excluding display port) meaning to have 3 you must use a display port connection ... is that incorrect?

Use the DP to hook up a daisy chain, and use the HDMI.
