Default Re: 20\" - 24\" monitor?

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks Josem.
Sorry about the question being answered in the FAQ.

No problem. It was just weird.

Can you perhaps give some advice on what size monitor I should chose?
I am in doubt between 20" 22" and 24".
The price of a (Samsung) 20" is ~240 euro, the price of a 22" is ~275 euro and the price of a 24" is 470 euro.

noted.

1) Would you advice a 22" rather than a 20" (main use if for poker)? The prices are very close.

[/ QUOTE ]
No - because the resolution of the 20" - at 1600x1200 is much better than the resolution of the 22" at 1650x1050 or whatever.

The 20" 1600x1200 is very good for poker.

2) Should I buy two 20/22" monitors rather than one 24" because of the big price difference? (using dualhead2go for example)

[/ QUOTE ]
1) two 20" 1600x1200 monitors would be better than one 24" for poker.

2) you don't need dualhead2go - that's a very bad piece of equipmetn for poker for various reasons.

get yourself the cheapest PCI (not PCIE) video card with DVI output you can find, and put that into your machine. more details in the FAQ.

3) I saw this product: http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-PA1390...dp/B0009X1U3O. Would this be worth buying? My notebook has no numpad and I sometimes have trouble making the correct bet sizes (quickly).

I haven't looked at that particular link (didn't work for me) but I absolutely adore my external numeric keypad that I bought. I think it is awesome.
