3 Monitors, was it worth it?

just get one really big screen 120" and a projector......if you have the room to dedicate to it.

Most people don't like the idea of playing in a dark room isolated from the rest of the house. I tried playing with a projector for a while but found it to be a PITA in certain ways.

you need to get a projector that has a High lumen count.  You can play in a bright room that way.

the only thing I regreat about buying a 3 screen set up is that I only bought 3 23in monitors.  I should have gonne with bigger monites

The maximum dark level (contrast) of a projector is limited by the natural lighting of the back wall. Any spot that is supposed to be black will in reality show as white as the background wall looks in the used lighting conditions. The eye gets fooled a little when the white background is in contrast to the bright projected image - but it will never 'project' anything dark. That's why people use projectors in dark rooms.

A high lumen projector does help but it will not be able to produce black levels.

I have a multi-monitor stand from Ergotech, the model 100-D16-B03-TW, and I'm very happy with it.  Works very well with my three 25" ASUS VE258Q screens.

YMMV

Bino I think it was you who turned me on to the same one, I bought it and was surprised as to how sturdy it was. Just to let you know I weigh 240 lbs and I was able to do push-ups on it. All I need now is th deskount for it, btw thanks.

I played for about 5 years on mine.  I had my TV and comp hooked up as a home theater...that is before we moved.   Now I don't have a room big enough for my old screen.
