I'm thinking about getting 2 of these. Good response time, good contrast ration, and good resolutions.

Acer B273HU bmidhz Black 27" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail

What do you think?

They will be supported by either 2 5850 or 2 5870's (when I get the chance to crossfire of course, until that Time I will only get 1 Monitor and then when I can crossfire I will get the other card and other monitor)

You'd be good with 2 monitors on one card and then when you went CFX get the 3rd monitor.

It sucks playing an FPS split between 2 monitors. Also, go with the 5870.

I would go with 3 or 4 BUT the monitors (in order to get full resolution) need dual link (with 2 2560x1600) or 2048x1152 with 1. Guess that resolution isnt bad, but 2560x1600 x2 would be wicked as well.

Actually....

For 3 monitors for Eyefinity you need atleast one monitor with a active display port plug in...

Without it, you can't use Eyefinity. You can easily run three of those monitors other on 2 CFX 5870s.

YOu would need to get this though for one of the 3 monitors.

So if I understood correctly I would be able to run 3 (or even 4) of those monitors with an active display port plug in. This will enable Eyefinity. Yes?

Oh really?! haha Not quiet sure on how to use them, but I guess I will google that. Will the resolution stay the same? or be downgraded?

Portrait would work.

No, they would all run at max res.

It's be taller, but it would take up less desk space and the image would be more square.
