    One of the new 32:9 displays sounds cool. The 21:9 displays are good for movies while 32:9 is two full screens without that bezel. Wish they made a 48:9 but no such luck.

    Triple screens will still show more, but also require more.
     
    3 curved monitors...

    Having had both setups, I enjoy the ultra wide much better.  Long ago I had three 30 inch screens.  That was epic, but it just got harder and harder to feed.  The experience on a UW is great.  I don't even SLI anymore.

    I would really enjoy a new ultra wide G-sync monitor.

    I've done both.  Without a question of a doubt, go 21:9 - 3440x1440.
     
    WAY better than Nvidia Surround - Bezels SUCK

    Im not ready to give up on my 3 monitors.    So this 32:9 monitor that Brad mentioned sounds promising.   Yes the bezels do suck.  But when not gaming, the productivity level of the multiple monitors is so nice.  I know that a UWS monitor offers more space as well, not cannot compare to multiple monitors.
     
    Until I can find something that gets even close to my current resolution, I'm sticking with my 3 monitors.  Bezels and all.

    I'd vote for using a single ultrawide over the black bezels of seperates.....

    I would do a single panel. I have triple monitors but only game on one. Its just easier and runs smoother.
