$570 video card doesnt sound right. 128MB video card sounds right and thatll run you under $100. i cant see dell releasing a monitor like that that requires a $570 video card.

i dont know about brightness but screen wise looking at the 30" monitor is like looking at 2 2001fp's without the line in the middle. i dont see why youd have to move further back to see it.

i currently have 2 2001fps and want to up it to 4. i was contemplating buying a 30" monitor instead of 2 more fps but i think saving a few dollars makes buying the smaller monitors better.

the 30" monitor will be much nicer for watching tv and playing video games on though, so it has other practicalities to it.

im waiting for the 60" monitor to come out! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

well I have done a bit of research around the internet, and there are 2 things it needs to run 2560x1200 that most video cards don't have. one is the actual support of that resolution. even higher end models don't support that big. your $100 almost definitely doesn't. most of the sites I've been able to find information on are gamer sites, and they presumably have pretty good graphics cards. the other is it requires dual-DVI which is not supported on most cards, and not on older cards, even high end ones.

I like your plan for 4 monitors though. I'm assuming you wouldn't play on the top 2 for the most part though, right?
