Please elaborate!

After I've used the Eizo Foris I don't want to buy a new Monitor except he has 120 Hz + Backlight strobing, Adaptive or G sync and 3d capability. But that might take some time to reach the market ^^


@Porchas
These Monitors Support Daisy Chain, so theoretical you could use a Single DP cable from GPU to Monitor A, daisy chain from Monitor A to B, and again from Monitor B to C.
This should work!


Thanks, yeh im aware daisy chaining is possible for these monitors, but from researching i just isnt as simple as you think. there are problems and obstacles to overcome with it, i just want someone with this setup already and have it working correctly without hiccups to tell me exactly what wires and what order they used it in. it confuses me when there are sos many choice, 1.2 dp, active/passive dp to mini dp adapter, 19pin/20 pin.
and the prices are pretty high for some of those options so buying the wrong cable can waste a lot of time having to reorder a different cable and having to issue with refunding then as well.

You don't need to daisy chain or buy adapters. Just go with either of the 2 options I mentioned. DVI to HDMI cable's don't have an active adapters in them and don't cost much (5-7 bugs maybe). HDMI cables are also cheap.

EDIT: A DP to mini DP cable is included, so just use that and buy 2 DVI to HDMI cables and you are set.

You can just connect all 3 monitors with the included DP cables with DP1.2 MST, no need to buy other cables

I'm running 3 x Dell U2414H on a single GTX770 (4GB) connected by 2 x DVI-HDMI and 1 x HDMI-HDMI cable.

Everything seems to work perfect, both for desktop applications and gaming. These monitors are just awesome - granted the monitor buttons can be a bit hard to use, but enabling the buttonsound really helped me alot and besides I suppose you won't be using the monitor menus much once it's all setup anyway.

Also, after setting up Nvidia Surround and the bezel correction, I installed DisplayFusion to make the desktop much more usable in triple monitor setup by "splitting" them into 3 screens again for desktop use (plus other useful features).
