To Eyefinity or not to Eyefinity

I currently have a 6850 and a 28" I-Inc 1920x1200 monitor. I honestly haven't played a new title in almost 3 years and have a lot of catching up to do! I would love to get an Eyefinity setup and I think that opportunity may have arrived.

Tiger Direct on Ebay has this Viewsonic for $129.99 with free shipping:

Yes, I would be stepping down to a 23.6" display and the dreaded 1080p, but I would have an Eyefinity for $390. I could likely sell my monitor for $200 and only be $200 in the hole. The games that I need to catch up on will fly on my 6850 with a single screen so I think it could handle them just fine. My question is, are these Viewsonics going to do the trick for me or do I really need to get three quality screens to make it worthwhile? The bezel doesn't look too thick.

Oh, and will I be cool with using the two DVI's and then an HDMI to DVI converter to make this work? These monitors only have DVI. Here's my video card:

Thanks in advance!

I think you should stick with one display for now and wait for the new series from AMD and Nvidia (who will do multi monitor probably) and the new small bezel monitors. Kinda early next year.

The new small bezel monitors? Any links to info on these? Thanks.
