I have to say as someone considering the scout and commander roles, multiple monitors would be a major boon. Especially for a commander roll. if I have to overlay and lose sight of my cockpit view in order to get a good look at the battle-grid or have to toggle it off to pay attention to a fight I'm in the middle of, that really cuts into my situation awareness. This isn't a huge deal if my job is a more direct roll like assault or defense, but if my task is to be aware of whats going on and direct the others in my lance even in the heat of battle or report on hostile positions while I'm behind their lines then being able to check the overall situation with a glance is something that could save me from taking unexpected fire, like PPC to the face while I'm trying to sort out the big picture on the battle grind, or missing a blip on the radar behind our lines that vanishes a second later and I would have completely missed had the grind not been open at that moment.

Honestly with as cheap as monitors have become in the last few years, I think several people I know would add one on for this.

Black Friday is just around the corner, and I'm trying to decide between a 50" 1080p, 3x 40" 1080p, 3x 32" 720p (in the running because of price and less strain on graphics) and the bargain basement 3x 23" 1080p.

I primarily want to run wide field viewing, so I can see what is out my side cockpit windows without having to freelook to the side. I was under the impression that the resolution option within the game would currently support that, am I wrong? (though as I understand it it may require some .cfg modification for FOV). Thoughts?

Would be nice, allowing for me to see my cockpit.
