BadMouth:
Been keeping my eye out for cheap 27" monitors to do a triple monitor racing setup.
Saw this on slickdeals:

I'm broke from renovating my house (and still have many expenses to incur), but tempted to pick up three of them anyway.
These are just DVI, d-sub, and HDMI input.  Do I need display port for the fancy new triple screen video cards?
They do have the VESA mounts which a lot of budget monitors are lacking.

BadMouth:
Eh, I think it's an awesome price, but going to hold out for a thinner bezel and wait until I actually have the money in my pocket to pay for it.

There's the deal if anyone else is interested though.

Still curious about the display port question.

lilshawn:
not for standard 1080p resolutions.  displayport has it's advantages but HDMI is ubiquitous.

just remember DVI and HDMI are interchangeable. DVI i just doesn't have audio.

I have 4 monitors. 2 via DVI one via HDMI and a 4th extra through standard VGA (for extra junk and system monitors) all on the same card (GTX750ti)

that said, i'd rather go with a singe large wide format monitor at high resolution like the LG ultrawide 29" IPS monitor.

(once you go IPS, you never go back)

Howard_Casto:
Damn.... just got my car painted.  They never put anything on sale when I have time/money.

Fursphere:
I thought I read that HDMI can't only do 60 hz?   

The racing sim guys make a big deal out of 120 hz monitors.  I'm not sure myself yet.
