That is with the stands they come with, center three are the older model (U2311H) and the two at the sides are the new revision (U2312HM).
However, I would say that these Koreans have damn good value, plus, you will get for approx the same price a bit more pixels when going with three Koreans than going with five 23'' Ultrasharps. You are correct ofc in that the Ultrasharp series has very solid warranty (including zero bright pixel policy which goes well beyond whats required by the standard. The ISO standard btw allows up to 5 defective pixels on a screen of that resolution and most "cheaper" brands follow the standard.
So If you would go with, lets say, BenQ budget TN screen, get up to 5 dead or bright pixels and go to warranty complaining about it they will just tell you its within limits allowed by standard (has happened to me with a 21.5'' HD screen from BenQ with two bright defective pixels).
The 27'' Koreans btw follow exactly the same standard, just as there is almost twice the pixels then they allow, in theory, up to 9 or 10 dead pixels, however, probability of actually getting a display with dead pixels is substantially smaller than getting a screen which has no issues. Some people get one or two defective pixels but if really worried then its possible to get a slightly more expensive trader who offers the "zero defective pixel" warranty on their displays.
How long is your desk, and yep, I will be getting those. But I am going to wait for school to start, because if my somewhat life is going to end then I will have no need for these. (Until next summer)


Planning on using these for gaming.

I definitely prefer the 5 displays in portrait over 3 displays in landscape, but I would still chose a 30" 2560x1600 display over all of those (Dell Ultrasharp to be specific). I just can't get past those bezels. But still, it is cool to see these crazy setups. I just can't wait until 4K displays start coming out and making these multi-display setups useless.

How much longer?

EDIT: And how about 3 4K monitor o__O

The desk in the picture is 2.25m long, however, I'm using only about 1.7m for the displays. My previous desk was 1.5 m long and when you put the displays in slightly rounded way (pretty good effect when sitting in the middle btw) then it fits just fine as well with the 23'' displays.

According to the Steam config these 5 displays form a screen with diagonal of 202 cm wink.gif

I would still think that going with 3x 27' Koreans' in portrait might be better option. For a start both nVidia and AMD can do 3x screens, second, there is not many GFX cards that can do 5 screens. For example, from the current 7xxx series there is only MSI Lighting, Asus DCUII from 7970 series, then there is Sapphire FleX 7950, but its limited to max 1920x1080 screens and then there are 7870 cards from 3 producers that have 6x mDP ports. And .. well .. that's about it. For three screens most reference cards are adequate. And if you desire so you can switch to nvidia down the road if they happen to be the king of price/performance at that moment.

There is no DP 1.2 hubs in existence and thats why AMD reference cards with their retarded displayoutput configuration are locked into max 4 screens, same as nVidia.

You do realize gaming on 5x1 screen require massive GPU horse power ?
