22": 1920 x 1080
27": 2500 x 1400

i currently have triple 22" and plan to get the 27"

the 27" will be vertical so i page down less.

whats a good setup for the 4 monitors?

My vote would be a pyramid 3-1 setup. Take the 27" and 2x of the 22" monitors and place them on the bottom row. Then take the last 22" monitor and put that somewhere along the top of the monitors.

This would require either a custom monitor mount (not sure how extreme or what kind of budget you're looking at) or you can tier them so they will fit. Otherwise you will have one w-i-d-e span to look around with all four monitors in the same "row".

exactly. Gives you the ability to use the 27" monitor in portrait mode and still have all of the monitors in a relatively compact area.
