    AFAIK you can run maximum of two monitors from a modern motherboards (Z77 anyway) graphics outputs, but to run 3 screens with a PC you will need a graphics card-especially if for gaming.

    I'm quite sure you won't be playing multi monitor with xbox either.


    edit: buying three basic 23/24" 1080 monitors for say €150 a pop and separate active speakers would be a lot cheaper than buying three TV's.

    What spec. is your PC?

    The 360 doesn't support triple monitors... you need a PC for that.

    Built in TV/monitor sound is horrible anyway. Stay away.
