3x 30" was a setup I had previous done and it was a bit overwhelming. Not to mention I do not care for 60 Hz.
This is my attempt at a portrait setup running 120Hz smoothness yet retaining some of the benefits of high resolution and also having a THIN bezel:
This took quite some custom work and is about as thin as bezels as I think can be possible for Eyefinity. Now I knew before going into this that TN panels have serious viewing angle restrictions that is exacerbated in portrait. Although, the largest fall-off is on the right hand screen on the last 1/3rd, it doesn't bother me a great deal as it usually only is quite noticeable on dark images.
On the desktop above straight on you can see it handles fairly decent. Still tweaking the screen alignment.
Cons: Viewing angle especially on outer portion of right screen is livable but could be better.
Have you tried a portrait setup before? Landscape is way too narrow for myself. Especially if you want 120Hz, 3x 1080p is around five times as wide as it is tall. Just not natural.
Oh and I've got the displays all aligned and I have measured the gaps between lit pixels on adjoining screens. 6.3 millimeters which turned out quite darn good. My goal was to keep it under 1 centimeter.

Haha, nice! This is very, very impressive. Hopefully one day I'll have the time and patient to do something like this. Or, maybe by that time, there will actually be 120 Hz monitors with super thin bezels and proper VESA mounting (c'mon Samusung!). Enjoy your setup!
oh oh.....you just bought those sexy sammys i was interested in. Probably the thinnest bezels i've seen on a 120Hz display. There similar to the Samsung TV's with that perspex glossy overcoat they have on them which extends outside of the bezels. Which is a pain, but you seem to have done something about that.
Could you possibly do a personal review on them for OCN?

Wow, very nice. It looks really clean. Loving the thin bezels. Wonder how many fps you're going to get in BF3? I think it'll be really hard to push 120 fps at that resolution, even with two 6990's.
I get around 120-150FPS in BC2. Although I do not have any delusions of running BF3 on Ultra and getting ~120FPS with 2x OC'd 6990s, I bet if I turn down a few settings I can reach that. Like 4x AA isn't really useful at this resolution, 2x works just fine.
I have tried TN screens in portrait but I was getting headcase relatively fast from the contrast shifts at slightest movements. Pity the DELL IPS screens have such large bezels. Looks awesome.
