I have the VE278Q, VE276Q and VK278Q. I spent about ~$300 for each (over time since I didn't buy them all at once) so ~$249.99 isn't bad IMO.

The two 2560x1440 monitors I have are the same model Auria EQ276W 27” IPS and they were about ~$400 each from Microcenter:

A great price for a greate monitor IMO.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27759615 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:52:17 EDT Re: [crt/lcd] want 3840 resolution for dual 27" monitors http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27759596 said by plk:

many list the max resolution as 2560x**** I want 3840x**** resolution.
I was one desktop across both monitors.

That limit usually applies to a single monitor, but pretty much all cards in the last couple of years have 2 or more outputs. I'm not particularly familiar with NVIDIA cards, but a good portion of ATI/AMD based cards can usually handle at least 3, but sometimes 4 or more displays. NVIDIA cards shouldn't be far behind. More info on ATI/AMD cards can be found in the "video cards with 4 outputs" thread, still on the 1st page.

It has had the card replaced but headed down hill again. So I would actually need to buy 2 to stay with the 2560x1600. about 2 grand.

I watch tv via homerun prime on the system so I dont want to give up and space. This is why I was going to go with 2 27in monitors. I would gain some space in width.

I like the 3 27in monitor idea.......I'd have to buy 6 tho...... the better hafe would want it too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27759548 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:25:33 EDT Re: [crt/lcd] want 3840 resolution for dual 27" monitors http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27758600 said by Shootist:

Actually that would be 3840x1080. The vertical res doesn't change.

Aye - my bad.
If that's the only thing to nitpick in my short oratory I did well.

What was your intention or intended use for making the switch from a 30" 2560x1600 display to dual 27" 1920x1080,......?

Did you consider buying another 30" 2560x1600 monitor and possibly adding another video card to drive it,.....?

I have a triple 27" 1920x1080 setup (5760x1080) driven by an HD 6870 video card that I like just fine and I have two 2560x1440 monitors on different systems (GTX 260 / 8800GTS).

Some people would call the move you are suggesting a downgrade. Just curious as to what you are trying to accomplish.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27758402 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 11:25:31 EDT Re: [crt/lcd] want 3840 resolution for dual 27" monitors http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-crtlcd-want-3840-resolution-for-dual-27quot-monitors-27758308 said by psafux:

If your video card supports 'Extended Desktop' then yes that's basically the same thing. Both monitors run at 1920x1080 (assuming the monitors & cables support it) leaving you with a total dual-screen resolution of 3840 x 2160 (1920x1080 x 2).

Actually that would be 3840x1080. The vertical res doesn't change.

Question: If I run two cards does double my resolution?
Or do I have to buy a card made to handle it?
