2x24" 1920x1200 provide more real estate than one 30" 1600p monitor. and many other advantages over a single monitor. esp for someone who doesn't game. 3x24" seal the deal and they'd still be less than the cost of one 30" 1600p monitor.
it's also easier to come up with $300 than come up with $800+...
the 19" and 17" 16:9 monitors imo are just too small to work on to get anything done. 'rather have them in 4:3 or 5:4.

I am a little confused as to why the sudden change. i should have enough room for 1x 1440p and 2x smaller monitors (in portrait). it also seems to me that 1x 1440p korean monitor run for roughly the same cost as 2x 1080p monitors. the extra value of a 16:10 screen vs a 16:9 does not validate the price premium for me either. would you recomend 3x 1080p? or 1440p and some other combo if peripheral monitors?
