... at least for gaming, the winner is 3 x 30" LCDs pivoted to portrait mode, according to MaximumPC magazine in 2011:

I don't have this setup but tried pivoting (smaller) monitors before (work apps, not games). I hit these issues:

1. Mainstream monitors (22"-24") are too narrow for some websites or applications

2. The 'Colour inversion' effect
This is worst with TN panels.You basically need the panel more or less perfectly vertical and have to look at it dead-on.
Even with TFT IPS panels, there's something a tiny bit 'off' that I can't put my finger on - its as if colour reproduction was designed to be optimal in landscape mode. Or something different about pixel spacing, or how sub-pixel colour elements stack up next to each other... Just guessing here.

3. For desktop use, you end up bobbing your head up and down.

I don't have this setup myself. But I've tried pivoting smaller monitors before (for work apps, not gaming), and hit these issues:

1. Standard work issue monitors (22") are too narrow for some websites or applications
2. The 'colour inversion' effect with TN panels.
To avoid you need the panel more or less perfectly vertical and look at it dead-on.

I can't put my finger on - its as if colour reproduction was designed to be optimal in landscape mode. Or something with pixel spacing, or how the sub-pixel colours stack up, or something...
4. If the panel's close by (a must with smaller screen), you end up bobbing your gaze up and down.

Hi - Try this therapy named 'Insulin Potentiation Therapy' - in one study, it magnified the anti-tumour effect of chemo 10000 times.
See research paper linked to on the last page of this link:

Its a sort of research paper I did on behalf of a family friend - start on the second page.

Its likely Russia-allied militia (not Russia) which brought MH17 down, because of two points:

1. As someone else wrote. "Pro russian/rusian forces used BUKs to shot down three other Ukrainian planes days before the MH17"...
2. Days previous, an entire air defense regiment, and its missiles, defected (the rebels apparently crowed about this on Twitter days prior to the attack).

But knowing about both points, Ukrainian ATC in Kiev cleared civilian aircraft to transit through the same airspace. This is either callous incompetence combined with greed (for airspace transit fees), or something worse. A fair enquiry should establish this.
