it all depends on what you wan't,

the 2 screen set up ( single monitor for backglass) works great and is the cheapest option. their are more back-glass files available compared to the 3 screen set up. Although more 3 screen files are being made.

The 3 screen set up is a more authentic set up. get the smallest LCD monitor you can find.

The "real" DMD file you are talking bout will run you anywhere from $300-$500.

this is why allot of people use old 13-17 inch LCD monitors for their DMD displays.
