Hi everyone, time for another question. I am not sure what would be the best route to go for my viewing pleasure. Adding 2 more monitors for a total of 3, or just get a LCD TV. What is going to give me the best performance and eye candy.

This is the monitor I have now.Asus VH238H Black 23" Full HD HDMI LED Backlight L... (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236117)

Should I get 2 more or go with a tv?

The PC is for gaming.
System specs are up to date

monitors are smaller LCDs with better resolution in a smaller space

multiple LCDs cause gaps in your screens from the bezel size, that could annoy you.

some games have support for the larger screen resolution, some don't

I personally prefer 1 big screen for the game and maybe a second screen on the side for info/strategy/browsing/facebook/whatever you're in to

if you think just get an LCD TV i think you mean a really big one. you'll have to sit back farther to see everything. it'll definitely put awe into everyone who sees it

I am not thinking to big something around 44" or less

If you're gonna get a TV that size, then go for a 1080p plasma. Your desktop and games will look awesome, with no motion smearing. Panasonic is an excellent brand. Two of my friends have them and they are serving them very well and the gaming is awesome.

Ever since I went from a 22" LCD monitor to an LED 32" I will never go back to monitors! I can't describe how beautiful everything looks on this screen! Plus laying in bed watching a Full HD movie at night is great too! Not to mention the 100Hz motion flow and the ambilight really make it that bit sexier!

By the sound of it, you have a Philips TV? These are very good quality, so I'm not surprised you like it. Believe me, a cheap LCD TV looks bad.
