Single large monitor would be better.
Spend more money on one good, large monitor like an LP3065 or a U3011H instead of spending the same amount on multiple cheap and inferior monitors.

You'll appreciate the lack of bezels.

i guess this is one of my main concerns now. Seating too far may prevent me from seeing text when typing.
Seating too close = nausea
like 2.5-3 feet back maybe. I can see everything fine.

Im thinking of replacing my eyefinity setup with just a single monitor.

How much are you willing to spend for a single monitor. what's your budget

I currently use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176177&Tpk=zr30w
HP ZR30W

I love it. The only thing I think a multi screen set up would be better at, multitasking.

But with the high res on this monitor it's no big deal to set programs side by side

Triple makes more sense than Large single as long as you have UltraMon.
And in general I think.

I used to have a triple monitor setup and I ended up scrapping it just for a single monitor (didn't even upgrade in size/resolution). In my opinion the multiple screens are more hassle then anything. I would like to upgrade to a larger monitor @ 2560x1440 120hz. I am just waiting for mass production, but if you are in the market right now the Catleaps seem like the way everyone is going.
