Thanks Marcel.

The upgrade for the cockpit is available to buy alone as well, also i found a TH2G digital version, where it says it is compatible with Vista 64 bit, so now it is just coming to money, but actually i think i will go for it... but a bit pricey...

VPP upgrade monitor stand for the 3 monitors: 179 Eur + shipping
Matrox TH2G digital: 259 Eur + shipping
3 Monitos: ye, depends, but lets say 3*200 Eur

Easily 1000+ Eur upgrade....

I am still looking around for monitors searching for the thinnest frame available, so far the lowest has 12 mm side plastic. Any 19-22" monitor with native resolution of 1280*1024 beats it? 1280*1024 is a must native resolution, and now i also have the info that the VPP monitor stand supports max size of 3*22" monitor.

hmmmm, i found an interesting monitor, the brands is unkown for me Lenovo, but it has the thinnest side frame i found so far, the half of the next best, only 6.6 mm. Any comment on this monitor?

Lenovo - Products - Central Europe - Lenovo L190x 19.0in TFT LCD (19.0in VIS) TCO 03 Business Black Monitor, T39HNEU / 4439HN2

edit: sorry, forget it, i found it on another site it has 25 ms reaction time, for some reason at the official page they forgot to mention it....

Lenovo is IBM, they are good for office work not for games in my opinion.

That seamless display looks amazing but it will be very expensive i guess.

I still should go for 3 Dells if i where you.

What about the TFT 7" screen as button box?

It looks pretty cool, look: COCKPIT Finished with 7" LCD ButtonPanel - RaceSimCentral Forums

If u r worried with TV frame think about Fresnel Lens. Enlarge monitor image, it is effectively disappear monitor FRAME for multi monitor setup by using 2 or 3 lenses. Before i buy my actual tv i was also thinking in a set of 3 monitors combined with fresnel lens. About Fresnel i have a doubt in one thing, i don't know if this will reduce the quality of the image.

YouTube - Cockpit + Triple screens + Lens
3Dlens.com Shop: Large Fresnel Lens

I don't know this, but i think you still need it because your the driver is limited to 2 monitors, the system sees your cards as one card, they are connected in SLI.
