You may think it takes triple PC power to run 3 monitors, well your wrong! imagine a Flight sim , you have 3 viewsports rear side front, that would take tripple power, What a tripple monitor does is uses one viewport from the front takes the same as a single monitor, because the computer does not need to calc and render 3 views it just expands the view in one.

you will need a graphics card with multimonitor ports, and you can get cheap adapters off amazon to convert any ports to HDMI etc...

When I first tried this one monitor did not come on, I found i had to manualy swithch it on in nvidia settings. Nvidia does all the grunt work, it was very easy to setup. you can have a set of 3 32inch monitors thats 96inch display. for quite cheap if you wait for the easter sales . a single monitor is only about 48inch an is a lot more expensive, buy monitors with thin edges.

You will likely need a gaming PC, because it still takes power to run a game, but My PC is 5 years old and everthing runs.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the magic bit, You will find once you enable 5720x1080 resoltion LOTS! and LOTS! of games suddendly have the resolution avalable in the games setting. have a look at my screen shots and check your games the res does not showup unless you have 3 monitors
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Remember its only what I have go working, you may run into problems, so try using old odd sized monitors to check first

and when your ready buy monitors of the same size, or it will look bad

 :thumbsup

... and what I also see is a very nice bunch of games:

Combat Mission
Scourge of War - Gettysburg
ArmA ?
Grigsby´s War in the West
Command Ops

Most of the stuff I do myself, but of course not in the same time.

Hi GL

You can buy large TV's now which have a "gaming" mode. That works well also. It does make a big difference when you can play on a bigger screen(s).

Thanks for taking the time to bring this to peoples attention  :thumbsup
