Preferrably for Christmas I was hoping to have 3x23inch IPS setup for Eyefinity but that dream is now dead, however I got one of these for Christmas from an in-law

Atleast it has a square stand, sharp corners, small bezels and its LED, I'm getting 2 more of these and wanted to know what you all think about these monitors for a 3 monitor setup/eyefinity? Please advise.
 
They might be a bit too short tbh, other than that. Perfect I would say.

It doesn't have DP so you'll need an adapter.

Cool thanks. I can order one from NE or get one from Radio shack which is 3 miles from my house, however you don't think 1600x900 will be an issue?
 
No, but there was a member here who has 3x 1600x900 monitors hooked up to a 6850. Bastingcap. He doesn't post here much.

He didn't have any issues with it.

Skurge,

cool. This makes me feel better. His 6850 is 2GB memory, EAH5870 is only 1GB.. Forsee any struggle pushing the 3 monitors? Appreciate your responses.

No, 6850 has 1GB of VRAM. .

3 x 1600 x 900 ~= 2 x 1920 x 1080 ~= 2560 x 1600

You are going to be VRAM limited in some modern games.. What games do you play BTW?
You have to dial down the eye candy to enjoy eyefinity.. and make sure you buy an active DP -> DVI adapter like this one.
