Looking for two 19" LCDs to flank a 24"

[Chaotic42]

I've got a 2405FPW monitor and I'd like to flank it with 19" monitors. This means that they'll have to be 1600x1200. I'd like the display areas to be *exactly* the same height as that on the 24". I assume this means that I'll have to buy Dell, but I'm not sure.

Is anyone running something like this? What monitors are you using?

Edit: Holy crap!

Unfortunately there are no 19" LCDs widely available that are 1600x1200. You can get 20.1" ones like the HP LP2065. It would be closer than the 19" in dot pitch to the 24" too.

What exactly do you mean by "flank"? Triple monitor config with each 19" beside the 2405FPW?

Side by side. 24" in the middle and 19" (or whatever) on either side.

Unfortunately .27mm dot pitch monitors at 1600x1200 are only slightly less expensive than just getting another 24". 3x24" monitors would look weird.

Bump for any ideas.

First of all, thanks for that!

I'll have wet-dreams for a week...

Secondly, yes we run something like that (at work) using silver/black Dells, and it's damn impressive!

Actually, I would have said the nicest setup I'd ever seen, until you kindly provided that link...

This is the nicest set-up I've ever seen:

3x 30" Apple Cinema Displays. That's Al Gore, by the way. If I were as rich as him, I'd probably do something like that, too. I wonder if Samsung's 30" is better than the Apple...

It takes three monitors to invent the Internet.

i think i saw (pic) someone using 20" to flank a 24". or maybe it was a 30" don't remember.

You'd want 20.1" non-widescreens to go with the 24". They'll match up vertically that way.
