I'm about to delve into the TH2Go experience and wanted to be sure I'm getting decent monitors:

I'm going with these due to the great prices currently. Unless someone has other suggestions.

You may want to check the list of monitors capable of running 5040x1050@57Hz http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/9399 first before splashing out. Or at least test the monitors before buying.

Is anyone out there using Sceptres?

Eh, when I went to Best Buy comparing monitors the Sceptre's had a really poor color/sharpness to it compared to some of the others. I didn't really give them a second look. :?

Edit: Those have a very low contrast ratio, you're colors are going to not look as crisp as some other monitors.

Well, I just got a reply from Sceptre and the 1680 x 1050 resolution at 57hz is not supported. So they are out.

Guess I'll drop down to 22"s and have more options.

Any suggestions?

What do you guys think about the Samsung 2433BW?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001309

16:10 Aspect
VR 56~75
$300.00
Free shipping too.

There's the 22" option, Samsung T220 Rose:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001273

16:10 Aspect
VR 56~75
$270.00
Gotta pay shipping on those though.

If you think both will work, I'll probably go with the 24" as they may actually be cheaper with free shipping.

Ok, well I'm going for the Samsung 24"s.

Samsung support said it will display at 1680x1050 at 57hz, but you would have overscan issues; which can be adjusted.

So I'll let you know how it goes and we'll add another Samsung monitor to the list - one way or another.

These look interesting, don't know if they would work unfortunately , or if theyre any good.
http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=219
referenced by nVidia here http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d_stereo.html#displays

I'm guessing you could run 3d on centre monitor (might need to plug in direct), or triplehead with 2 generic outside monitors.
Would be even better if you could get 3 in triplehead.

Seems a better option than the GeForce 3D Vision
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_GeForce_3D_VisionKit_us.html
and buying the Samsung® SyncMaster™ 2233RZ 120Hz LCD ,
which I very much doubt will work in triplehead.
