    what i want to know, is what angle should the screens be placed.....some tell me 45 degree but when its 27 " im thinking in 45 degree the screens are gonna use a lot of space... they are 65 cm across a piece ?

    At 45 degrees, that would make it what, 130cm total across? A lot less than 195cm :) The angle will all come down to how it sets up. Once you get your system setup, find a spot on a track that has a straight line going across at least 2 of your screens, then change the angle of the outside screen till that line is straight for you. This should give you the correct angle.

    I use 55° angle because it is the best angle with a triple screen!

    I find the best angle is so the the screens are facing you whe you look directly at them at them. For my 24" screens that was about 45 degrees. When I went to 42" screens that changed to somewhere between 55 and 60 degrees. Also depends how far you sit from the monitors.

    I now have my 42" screens on my flight sim and put 27" screens on my racing rig. 45 degrees worked well with them too. You would have to be fairly close to the centre screen for 55 to be good IMO.

    Are you making/buying a monitor mount that is not adjustable?

    I made mine for 24" screens and its not adjustable on the angle. 27 works too, I could go a little more. 55 may work for me but I wouldn't like it as much. Wajdi does like that so it just hows that it's preference.

    Unless you are buying something with a fixed angle you should just play around to see what suits. Is there a reason you cant do that?

    OK, well why not make the table cater for 50 degrees and that way moving them from 45 to 55 to suit your prefererence should not be a problem.

    I did the same with my 42" screens and ended up moving the sides inwards further than I thought I would. It didn't match the lines of the table top exactly but the view was more important than the lines of the table matching the screens.

    Using Eyefinity will cause this for a lot of people that have full HD monitors and use bezel correction. I don't have that issue but only because my screens are a little smaller at 1680 X 1050 each. Not sure if there is a setting that can be edited in the plr or something, but would be nice if there were.
