Hi guys, hope this might help anyone looking for a PLP setup with 27" 2560x1440
i have the imac 27" which i connect to my pc as a display.
to flank them i use 15.4" 1440x900 laptop lcd replacements, they fit perfectly and more over the bezel is super thin. thinner than any other screens. almost non existant. Of course there will be some colour differences but the controllers allow you to adjust the colours like a regular display so hopefully that will get you close to your 27" screen. My apartment is small hence a plp setup works best. otherwise i would have gone triple 27". only gripe is finding a way to mount the monitors . i have them rested on my bose speakers and held in place with blutack like sticky stuff. bought them off ebay, called black magic.

just tell them the model of lcd you're using and they program it for you. you will also need a psu unit. everything costs about £100 per lcd.
i run windowed mode with title bar compensation on iracing and softth works with pcars. windowed mode and shiftwindows app works for all other codemasters racing games. I'll post more pictures of the rig when i have time. BF3 works great too in windowed mode and shiftwindows to hide the title bars.
