    Hello all, I would like to see what everyone is using for their triple screen setups. If you could post a photo and details on your individual setups that would be awesome.

    If you dont have a triple, feel free to post a photo of your setup anyway, I need ideas!

    Mine is a combination of a BenQ 3D capable ultra short throw projector, for non-VR, and the Rift.

    I'm using 3x 32" Samsung LED TV's.
    Depending on how far/close you want the monitors to be, consider the size of them.
    I have the monitors pretty close (about 600mm from my eyes) and found that 32" is quite good to get a nice representation of actual car size in game.

    @Slider, Here's my 61" triples I was using a couple of years ago. However, I have since gone back to a single screen using trackir since I prefer to use Nvdia's 3d vision, which I couldn't use with my monitors and a triple setup. (note: left monitor has white dots because its a DLP television and the chip is going bad)

    Nascar doesn't always mean oval track!

    It was really larger than needed. The main screen already filled my main vision and the side screens were only for peripheral vision for the most part. I would much rather have 3dVision that is rendered perfectly with DLP's than that since I couldn't have both. That's actually why I bought the DLP's in the first place. Triple screen resolution was 1920 x 1080 times 3.

    Looks alright to me. I like the very thin bezel. Price seems fair to at first glance (without doing any research).
    It is a discontinued model though. Not sure if that matters to you.
