From the measurements I've taken, I don't think three 22" monitors, even in landscape mode, would actually stretch into your peripheral vision. It would show more of your in-game pilot's peripheral vision, if that's what you're looking for, but even then I'm not sure you'd see all of it.

If you want the monitors to stretch into your real life peripheral vision (which I think you'd need bigger monitors for anyway), then, just like in real life, you're still going to have to turn your head to discern any details in that range. Then you'd have to turn your head about 90 degrees to use your TrackIR to see behind you, depending how close you sit to the monitors.

But if you just want the monitors to stretch into your virtual pilot's peripheral vision (which I think 3x22" will only do to some extent) then you'd just have to move your real eyes to see the details therein, at the risk of them becoming tired from looking to their extremes all the time. Then you'd just have to move your head about 45 degrees to see behind you with your TrackIR.

I'm just not sure 3x22" will give you the extra width you're looking for, in-game, without distorting the image and having your wings pointing about 45 degrees in front of you, if you know what I mean.
