Best Triple Monitor Setup for under 800$ HALP!

[shepardG]

So i'm looking into going the triple monitor setup and i'm wondering what the best deal would be for under 800$. I would prefer as stand also, but if you know of 3 really good monitors for 800$ i'll pick the stand up later(or just not factor it in)

I was looking at a 23" dell that they were selling at best buy on sale for 169$ but not sure if the actual monitor is worth it.

Games i'd be playing include:
Dark souls
league of legends
FFXIV
MMO's ingeneral
some first person shooters

I have a pretty decent rig, however i currently only have a single gtx580 3gig vid card in it.
rest is like 3620, 16gigs of ram, water cooled, asrock Motherboard w/ usb3.0

This was the IPS i was looking at from bestbuy, still on sale for 169:

I'm torn though, i don't think that will accept an aftermarket tri-monitor stand :/ halp

Yeah, those monitors won't take a stand (need VESA mounts). The U2312HM have VESA but are a lot more expensive

Important question: Will you be playing games across all three monitors? If not do what I have at the moment:

BenQ X2410T (120hz / 3D) in the center = 390
ASUS VE247h x2 on the right and left = 180/each.

Unfortunately I would not recommend the Planar triple monitor mount that I have. The arms are too short for 3 x 23-24 so I had to go vertical on the sides (which I've grown to like). Mount you can buy later for like 200-400.

That Dell in the link will not be mountable by the way. Also, I wouldn't touch Dell monitors that are not Ultrasharps for gaming.

hmmm, good idea's kuro, and after a bit of research i agree with the ultrasharp

although those monitor's aren't for me, i really like what you did with your router/modem/other stuff, hiding it under the desk like that.... it's like a spider .... that provides interent

I have two U2311H's with no blue tint issue, if you lived anywhere near me I'd sell them for $300 total, neither have any dead pixels (I'm in Central IL). i don't wanna ship them

Bump with a question.

I currently have 2x Acer S211 HL monitors (http://www.amazon.com/Acer-S211HL-21.../dp/B003U4IROY), and I'd be plenty happy to buy a third and mount it, but having some difficulties figuring out exactly what's what and where to buy a mount (says it's VESA 100mm x 100mm), if I need anything else, etc. I really liked Kurokikaze's setup, and I'd love to do the same thing, anyone able to point me in the right direction/advice to do that for the monitors I have?

[edit] Heh, I just noticed, we have the same PC case, exactly the same

Budget? Some triple monitor stands can be really expensive (or really crap), this one for $250 + $40 shipping is suppose to be good quality (doesn't say if it's VESA 75+100 or not). If looking for something cheaper then the user reviews one this one seems to say it works (and definitely has VESA 100mm mounts).
