Re: Best Monitor for 12-tabling??
You're going to want a 30" with 2560 x 1600 resolution.
Also, Computer Technical Help is the place to ask this. Check their FAQ on monitors first / do a search to read some opinions on the different brands. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/po...Board=techhelp |

Re: Best Monitor for 12-tabling??
The 30's are great if you can afford one of those. If you don't want to spend the money on a 30" and you play somewhere with resizable tables, then a 24" one works fine that has 1920x1200 resolution.
If you want one thats bigger than a 24 but still want to get out cheaper, HannsG has a nice 28" monitor that has gotten great reviews. Great for the price also, currently $599 w/free shipping at Costco. Think I am going to get one of those myself. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...&lang=en-US |

The 28" you linked wouldn't be any better than a 24" really, same resolution. Waste of money IMO (well I guess not in this case, as that's cheaper than some 24"s, but the bigger Dell with 1920 x 1200, for example, is a waste compared to the 24"), unless you have bad eyesight I guess. You want higher resolution, not just bigger. |

I got a new Dell laptop w/17" screen on it few months ago and I 9-12 table on it every night. If I play over 9, I stagger them on the sides but always have 9 where there is no overlap and it works great for me. My main thing is being able to 12 table when I want with no overlap and the tables not being so small, which I can't do on my laptop. Figure that 28" should work great for that. I would love to have the 30" but I can't justify spending more than double for it if the 28" works for me. I am a low stakes nit unfortunately. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Also, does the Costco 28'' require the same graphics card as the 30"
