Ok so looking to get examples of what people have set up and recommendations. Budget is a little bit tight..

Was thinking of 3 23" screens for MWO, but now after getting my missus a 27" screen ima like, why not just get one big screen?? I'm not too fussed about horizontal FoV, play the game fine as it is, so interested to hear what people have set up in terms of either 2 screens or three.

Cheers

WB.

I run two monitors, but only one is for MWO, other for teamspeak and browser, etc. Id like to get a third because at times I find it crowded with just two. Don't really care too much about running the game across more than one monitor, but thats just my personal preference.

If you're going to use these monitors for game play, I wouldn't use two. Because you'll have a gap in the middle. There was a Russian guy on Youtube a while back who did a video on it. He was saying it's best to use three than two.

If I had two I would use one for TS and other apps, one for game. It's a case of getting a larger single screen over having three monitor really ...

Three monitors for pure immersion, you'll probably hardly look at the side ones. Much harsher on you gfx card/s. I'd recommend the tried and true single monitor upgrade and shuffle you current one over as an auxiliary like Krovik is using. If you you want to go half way between, and obviously playing across two monitors is silly, check out some 21:9 aspect ratio monitors (I know, you're not bothered by horizontal FoV.)

TLDR; see if you like 21:9, otherwise get a 28" 16:9

I'd say go dual monitors. I've been running dual since before I played MWO just for that sort of reason. It's Super Convenient Bros. 2 The Lost Levels.

How about a curved ultra-wide monitor?
