I'm looking into buying 3 new 24" monitors for my desktop rig, to do nvidia surround.
They have to be exactly 24" (no 23" please), and have a res of 1920x1080 and not x1200.
Anyone have any suggestions for monitors fitting those requirements ?
Price/Performance ratio is the most important thing here.
Currently have my eye on these babies:

Cheers.
P.S. I was aiming at somewhere between 150 - 200 euros per monitor.

I can say, hands down - Fantastic choice going for Nvidia's version of triple monitor support. AMD's is a giant piece fo crocky shit, and it forces you to buy powered active hardware that costs abot ~130 jsut to hook up a third monitor through the mini-dp socket.
Out of the 4 24" monitors available, that would be the one I woudl recommend to use (The Acer one you linked).
Is there any specific reason you dont like the 1920x1200 res monitors? I absolutely love having mine, those extra 120 pixels are a huge benefit when doing anything PC related. Using a Samsung ToC for my own main monitor.. and it works wonders at 1920x1200!
Aye I've read reviews on AMD's eyefinity but it didn't really look promising. Besides, I'm never going back to AMD/ATI again after ditching my 4870X2. Their drivers are just horrible.Originally Posted by Sardaukar
Luckily I have two GTX460's running now so I have to go with NVIDIA Surround anyways.
As for 1080 vs 1200, I find 1080 easier on the eyes for some reason. 1080 is nicer for gaming and watching movies if you ask me. I'd take 16:9 over 16:10 any day.
As for the Acer monitors, the specs look good and I'm loving the design.
I'm using 24" Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW and I really can't complain.
