I'm new to the ATI Eyefinity. I've had mine runnning for almost two weeks.

After watching this:

Should the monitors be side by side or should the outside monitors be on a 45% angle to the center monitor?

Thanks

I think it's really just personal preference. I have them slightly angled, but nowhere near 45 degrees, probably 15-20 degrees.

This.

The reason the ATI webpage is setup like that is that it's easier to render a rectangle than a 3D image with tilted monitors.

The general consensus is to tilt the monitors if you're using the setup for gaming (more "immersion") and keep them straight if you're using the setup for video (flat field of view).
