I struggle to care about monitors with a sub-144hz refresh rate and middling response time. Not everyone is looking for the same thing in a monitor. If you have a moderate display budget, you're going to have to make compromises and prioritize features.
A question to anyone reading, if I setup a two wide by two high (or 3x2) array of these monitors (those bezels are nicely thin) and I had the top row inverted so that the thinnest parts of the bezels were meeting in the middle would (because these are freesync) the radeon software allow for the desktop to be inverted on the top row?
If I wanted to implement a 3x2 array I would need two GPUs to make up the requisite number of outputs, does the radeon software support a single desktop over two GPUs? Gaming over two GPUs on a multiple monitor setup?
I have an old business desk with a large top, a local hardware store has a nice array of reasonably priced galvanised plumbing supplies (straight pipes and 90 degree angles) that I could use for a grid mounted to the desk that could support an array of monitors and VESA mounting systems are plentiful...
Not speaking from experience, but GPU drivers (including AMD) have rotate screen functions (all four 90° settings being available) so that should work. The other question I'm not too sure about. I know you can use several graphics cards and have them display the same extended desktop, so that should work (staying with one vendor is a plus though, to avoid driver issues). but gaming on those monitors should only work via SLI/CF, which I think means that you can't use the output of one card. But with SLI/CF basically being gone anyway, maybe you can look for a card that supports 6 outputs? Eyefinity used to be a thing to drive a 3x2 array of monitors. Maybe look for Displayport Hubs? There used to be stuff where one DP port could be turned to supply multiple monitors (how the first 4k monitors were driven).

I really struggle to get excited about a 1080p screen these days...Alexvrb - Friday, June 1, 2018 - link

In any case, good luck and definitely make a forum post somewhere about that project. :Dpoopypoo - Sunday, June 3, 2018 - link
They lost me at "gaming red".
