How is this monitor for a triple screen setup?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITORMDC/?tag=gtplanet-20

Pros:
Very thin bezel (11.5 millimeters?)
Dirt cheap for a 27"
4ms response (fair, not great)
Highly favorable reviews accross the board
Low power consumption
VESA mountable
Cheap, cheap, only 199 ea. Shipped... was a $300-$400 panel a bit over a year ago... Had to say it twice :P

Cons:
Low resolution for a 27" display
VA panel (subjective to some extent)

I just wanted to get some thoughts and opinions before pulling the trigger on $600 (including shipping) of monitors... Sure it's not much, but if there are any issues it's 3x a problem...

Thanks for any feedback! (Sorry for the cross post, just looking for feedback)

Just make sure it has the input method required. With a single graphics card 2 screens need to have DVI input and 1 needs HDMI so it needs to have a DVI input

Yep, its got DVI, VGA, and HDMI. Hooked up to a Titan Black... I can plug another in if need be...

But is the resolution to low for a 27 inch?
 
I don't think so, running triples on a single card you can't go too high in resolution without killing performance, even with a Titan Black. I have a single 32" TV currently at 1080p and it looks great to me, so on a 27" I can't see it being a problem. I'm planning on running triple 27"s at 1080p on my GTX780 at some stage.

Great, that's reassuring.

My stand just showed up today, and it just dawned on me that my setup could be really wide...

Here is my bracket; http://shop.easymountlcd.com/Deluxe...-Free-Standing-up-to-28-002-0020-002-0020.htm

It's great quality for the price, I can't imagine how the 300 ones could be any nicer...

I was worried about how much it could "wrap" and they explained it has spacers on the VESA mount that make it easier for higher angles.
 
From what I've read 2GB VRAM is about right for current games running at 1080p, so naturally for three 1080p displays your 6GB Titan Black is probably spot on. Then again I run three 1080ps (Dell U2312HM) with a 2GB GTX 680 and it only really struggles to break 60fps in Elite: Dangerous, Project CARS (which I recently reinstalled and haven't fiddled with the graphics settings yet) and sometimes in Assetto Corsa, for some reason particle effects in the former and latter give it some grief.

Oh and yeah, I'd assume you're not going to have your nose buried in the displays so unless your eyesight is really, really good, I wouldn't worry about the pixel density too much. And if it does look a bit blocky just move them back a bit further!
