1st of all the setup cost aint cheap as well on this so call surround gaming. Let break out the cost as below
19 inch lcd nowdays would cost bout rm650 for 1 so 3 would be almost close to 2k
The matrox triplehead cost bout 399 usd if not mistaken and its equivalent to bout rm1.3k
Also the power consumption of 3 lcd should be higher as compare to one
Graphic card power required to render things at the highest resolution possible, 3840x1024. Lowest resolution of 1920x480 I dont know how ugly it will looks when compare directly to a 1920x1200 27 or 28inch monitor

And by looking at the resolution, the image is indeed by stretch too widely. Also I dont think to see the plastic bezel of the lcd monitor which seperate each monitor, even if you line them up properly, where you still see the image on screen spliting up. For me I rather go for a large wide screen to had a more comfortable viewing then this.

This will highly depends on your usage. To me now its just look bit too small as I use my monitor as a tv nowdays where I sleep on my bed to enjoy all of my movies and series.
