Thread Starter 
Hey all,

I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for an affordable PLP (or PL) setup. The 20/30/20 Dell IPS setup is a bit costly.
Any suggestions? Bezels lining up mean a lot to me btw.

I was looking at the Catleap and was wondering what portrait monitor would go well with it?

To better describe what im really looking for, i drew a picture.
367

What are my options? Im looking for a nicely matched PL setup that wont break my little piggy bank. thumb.gif

Hey, late reply and not sure if you got any responses or if this thread is still of interest. In short there are no normal monitor that matches the korean 27" 1440 displays. This is mostly due to the fact that you need a 1440 horizontal resolution in a 15.4" monitor (for the screens would be able to match up in PLP mode), this is a fairly unusual setup since most smaller monitors are cheap setups and thus using lower resolutions.

The only way I know of on how to make this happen is to grap LCD panels and create your own monitor (LCD panels used in laptops usually have higher resolution in a smaller form factor), one such panel is the one used in the old MacBook Pro laptops, this is good since it means that the panel itself is in mass production and thus would be available in quantity (cheaper).

I know of two builds that used this method (my own and the one I got the inspiration from) you can find links to this at this HardOCP forum post; PLP Setup

This is a really solid set up. How hard was it to do the wings?
