yeah definitely go with the dell 30 incher. I have one and it's great. Make sure you research what kind of video card is necessary to run it though (I forget, but obv it's high-end).

This is a good monitor for 9-tables as long as you have decent eyes and you are using resizable tables at Pokerstars (or Fulltilt soon). 1600x1200 resolution is what you need.

You don't need a high-end card for the Dell 3007 any more. My 7800 GTX (that I bought when the 30" monitor came out) died, and I replaced it recently with the NVidia 7900 GS. Total cost was under $200 US for the card.

Make sure you get a model with dual-DVI inputs, and it will handle it and most other applications quite nicely. No problems encountered in the first 3 weeks of use. I'm quite confident all of the AMD/ATI graphics cards also handle 2560x1600@60 Hz. (You don't need one that can run the monitor at 85Hz.)

with resolution, are the higher the numbers the better when it shows them on a site. Like is 1650X1050 better than 1600x1200 or 1440x900? can someone please explain.

it's the width by the height.

A regular table without shrinking it is 800x600.

So to fit 4 regular size table with no overlap you need 1600 wide and 1200 high.

1650x1050 means that it is not high enough to fit 2 tables on top of each without overlap.

Things change if you are using re-sizeable tables of course.
But the default table on most sites is 800x600.

My laptop monitor is 1900x1200.
So I can fit 4 regular size tables on it with no overlap and also have extra room off to the side.

Most serious multi-tablers want at least 1600x1200 unless they're okay with re-sizing the tables.
