I really want to do 5x1 Portrait Eyefinity. I heard TN monitors are not the greatest, but I would prefer them because they are cheaper. These are my requirements:

1. At least 23"
2. IPS Display
3. VESA 100x100

Also, I went to easymountlcd and figured I could get a 3 monitor and 2 monitor mount, also the mount for the monitors is part of the budget. And I would not like to push the budget since I already am A LOTTT thanks everyone.

Asus VS239H is IPS and retails for <200$, the Dell U2312 will also work but costs a bit more. As to which one is superior, well Dell offers better customer service and back-light bleeding is quite common on 23" IPS. If you can get the Asus from a place with a hassle free return/exchange policy then they are on even ground.

The only review for the Asus is in German as the VS239H-P sold in North America has proper overdrive and should be as fast if not faster than the Dell in terms of pixel response times unlike the none -P version PRAD.de reviewed.

The IPS235V has slower pixel response times than the Dell and Asus=ghosting

http://shop.easymountlcd.com/Deluxe-Dual-LCD-Monitor-Stand-Free-Standing-up-to-28-002-0018-002-0018.htm for portrait mode, and then I will get monitors that cost 200.
