Do you have any you've been eyeing? I'm guessing you'd get 2560x1600 though, and the more I think about it the more I really do like 16:9. It's just so... cinematic. Either way though, I would really like to see more monitor options if you've come across anything intriguing, because even with the small selection there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut answer that I've come across yet.

Also, I ended up grabbing a GTX 590. I do have to buy this setup in waves, and I figured because of the availability issue I should nab one while I could. It'll be fun blowing away Bad Company at 1920x1080 until I do get my new monitor!

EDIT: Ugh, the more I read about this resolution thing, I think that 16:10 for the sake of readability during usage other than gaming might be a necessity.

MORE EDIT: It looks like the Dell is the way to go. I just noticed their zero bright pixels guaranteed policy... I think at this price range that policy matters more to me than most of the features.

Have you had a look at the NZXT phantom case?

Not quite as crazy looking as the bob the builder one but it has some really nice features, good cooling and its not stupidly expensive.

Sorry i'm late or I would have pointed out that no review was able to recommend this card in any way shape or form (oh except 1 who decided that noise was more important than speed). You would have been better off buying 2x570's (they come out faster) or a single 580 if you had to insist on NV cards.
hardocp had a fair review at the resolutions this card is meant to be run (between 5040x1050 and 5760x1200) also aslong as you don't mind the desk space triple monitor setups are becoming the recommended setup over a single large screen in general due to less alt-tabbing and gaming due to the increased peripheral vision.

As for the gaps created by bezels there are work arounds based on monitor positioning, but it's not needed as the gaps fade (kinda like the wires in heated windscreens)

Thanks for expressing your concern, I appreciate it. I could absolutely return the card if I were to decide or be convinced on a different direction. I'm buying Sandy Bridge parts, and there aren't currently any boards that can run two cards at x16x16. I don't know if that actually presents an issue for the 2x570s, but a more expensive board plus the heat and PSU issues made me shy away from that option. I did seriously consider it, and like I prefer one larger monitor, so too do I prefer one graphics card.

I read a lot of 590 reviews, and was convinced more by the framerates than anything else to choose it. But I also didn't come across anything that was negative enough to keep me from buying it; I know that AMD's card is the "winner" but I really would prefer nVidia for the 3D Vision capability and also the fact that I see many less problems spawning from nVidia cards in general. And also, I feel I have to note I didn't see any differences between the big two that would make my brand loyalty idiotic as opposed to a more personal decision.

I would really prefer the higher resolution as opposed to the triple monitor setup. Honestly I did consider this quite a lot too, and picking up two more of the monitors I have would be a really cheap endeavor, but like I said I value the resolution benefits more than I do the peripheral vision. I definitely noticed the multi-monitor trend during my research; it's cool, but I don't feel like there's enough value added on the peripheral screens for me to go in that direction. I really am an image quality nut.

That case is crazy in its own way, and I like it. I am going to have to look at it some more and perhaps see the two in person now before I make a decision. It's also reasonably priced as you mentioned. Reminds me of Portal.

Man, computer cases are hilarious, guys. You really get a better feel for the aesthetic you're into, and also the aesthetics that everyone else is into. They're some of the most disgusting and yet somehow pleasing products I've ever seen. Truly a gaudy affair, but so much fun.

I take it you missed the part about 590's exploding if the game is too new for the drivers then? The PWM on the 590 is grossly under specced from the top of my head its a card that officially draws 360W's the PWM is specced to 340W.
16x16 doesn't really effect current boards as much as you'd expect you'd be fine without it.

In that case ignore the resolution and look at the ppi many 1080p's have a higher ppi suprisingly

Yeah... I did. Really? Do you have a link? I did hear about 590s dying because of overclocking, and the reason behind it seemed to be that the voltage was upped far too much.

As far as PPI goes I'm sure many 1080p monitors do have a high PPI, but I'm also going for big here.

Theres a few forum reports of it floating around if you search for crysis2 and 590 I think you'll find some.. I believe that the thermal protection is now always on (it's driver based and can lag which isn't a good thing but at least it's on)

::edit:: yeah they have and apparently it can kick in on game menu's let alone games causing FPS to drop to single 570 levels or below also reports are saying FPS is down from reviews due to this change

Geeze, thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look, that's awful. Creating a topic about how my graphics card exploded isn't exactly the next topic I want to be making.

Small edit above

I always go as much vertical as I can get, I read a lot of text, even on my non-programming rigs and being able to see it all is important to me, so I always go for 16:10. I actually had a slight preference for Apple Cinema Displays back when they did matte screens, but I think glossy looks like crap, so you're limited to older models (and you need semi-expensive adapters to run some of them off of DVI anyway).

Oddly many of the high end Dells with IPS inside are actually very well made (and can be a bargain during some sales or with some coupons). Sometimes it's hard to tell what is IPS due to how they list the specs, http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/s-ips-lcd-list.php is very helpful, you can then go read reviews on Amazon or Newegg.

So if I had to list criteria that are must haves: IPS panel, 16:10 aspect, and matte display (no glossy).

My first non-IPS panel was so much better than the TN panel sitting beside it my non-technical wife at the time mentioned how much better it looked (she had no idea why it looked better she could just tell it did).
