Thoughts about display

Okay so once I get move into my house I am looking at upgrading my display.  I have an older 22 inch LG widescreen.  It still has a good picture but I am thinking about doing one of two things.

 

Option 1:  Buying a 32 inch tv that has 1080p and a couple of DVI and HDMI connections.  This would allow me to use my pc and xbox on the same screen instead of having a pc monitor and tv next to each other. The 32 inch would be awesome for pc games without feeling to overwhelming I think.

 

Option 2:  Go with maybe 3 x 23 or 24 inch screens.  About the only games I would really use the tripple for is racing and flight sim.  The price for this setup is higher than option 1. 

 

What do you guys think?   I know some of you use tripple and some use tv's so I'm just looking to gather from some of your experiences on these setups.

They're 24" Acer http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005QVZ79C/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 

The only downside is they don't have mounts on the back but for the price you cant go wrong. As you can see in the vid I have them as close as I could get them so I actually have to turn my head to see the side mirrors. The feeling when side by side with another car just sucks you right in.

I am currently using a 42" LG 1080p display and I am looking to go tripples with 28" hans-g screens. I would reccoment getting tripples over a large single or youll end up like me, spending way to much money haha.

Croft is a great little track, AI are only really iffy at the start as you could see, once your under way they settle and actually seem to know your there. Unlike the last race where I swear they would just drive through you 71

amazing setup Knight! I would love to get triple screens one day.  But I think for me right now is to upgrade my pedals.  I have the plans for the CST pedals just need to order the parts and get building.  But triples is just so damn cool!

Cheer man, after the wheel the triples was the next thing that made the whole experience leap into another level. I am still using my stock CSR pedals but a load cell mod is on the cards just as soon as the guy building it gets his design to his liking.
