I honestly prefer 1x 30" over 3x 30".
The LOD just never looks right on more than one monitor.

5870 and 5970: multi-monitor gaming goodness with ATI Eyefinity (Hexus)

| Sapphire HD 5870 and HIS HD 5970: multi-monitor gaming goodness with ATI Eyefinity HEXUS put AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5970 through its paces last week, and concluded that it's simply the fastest gaming card money can currently buy. Trouble is, the dual-GPU monster, pictured below, laughed in the face of most of our benchmarks, spitting out high framerates at resolutions of up to 2,560x1,600. 
With theoretical compute performance in excess of four trillion calculations per second, a memory bandwidth of 256GB/s, and a texture fillrate of 116GTexels/s, the card was able to spit out over 100 frames per second in titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. And that's at our highest resolution with detail set to maximum. Clearly, we need something else to determine what this beast is really capable of. So, how about a triple-monitor gaming setup facilitated by ATI Eyefinity technology? Want to know exactly how well the Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5970 cope at 5,760x1,080? Read on. |

the gaps and black lines between the monitors is what puts me off multi monitor gaming, in real life you don't have two vertical black bars in your peripheral vision all the time

Honestly, other than FC2's aspect ratio never worked on 3 monitors, other games were just awesome on it.
The bezel doens't kill immersion. Not at all.

Nope. Right after starting to play, your eye ignore the bezels. I use to play on (3) crts that has 1" bezels and it was great. You get lost in the game play and forget they are there.

I always figured someone would have tried something crazy like that already. Cut the plastic edges off and mount them side by side. I guess it would ruin the picture along the edges if not extremely careful and no one has been dumb enough to try it yet.

Speaking from experience with a wide variety of games across my eyefinity setup, i can tell you that the bezels really arn't noticeably once you start gaming. The only way to really understand it is to sit down in front of an eyefinity setup and try it for your self

You don't really need a dremel to take apart a monitor, you can dismantle it yourself. The problem is that the panel itself has a casing that's about 1cm on each side anyways.
