UPDATE: IT WORKS! PERFECTLY! (See bottom of Page 2 for details and pictures)
So, I'm going to be hooking up a 5770 to 3 CRTs for a low cost Eyefinity setup.
I think this is a good solution if you have the deskspace, for a few reasons:
1. You can change resolutions depending on your situation, with no degradation in image quality. LCDs only have ONE native res they are good at. CRTs look good in ANY resolution. Play Crysis with all monitors set to 1024x768 for good framerates, then use 1600x1200 on the desktop to surf the web.
2. Some of the disadvantages of CRT are covered up by Eyefinity. Any issues with smaller screen size, narrower aspect ratio or lower max resolution don't matter as much when you have THREE of them.
3. FREE! CRTS are being given away by the dozen! They cost money to dispose of, so companies, hosptials, schools, individuals... would LOVE to have you take a few off their hands!
Eyefinity, making CRTs AWESOME again.
