What you think is better to play on partypoker?
2 monitor 1600*1200 and in this case Samsung 204b is the best right?Or 1 big monitor and how much big should be?

How many tables are we talking about? And do you need to leave iTunes, PokerTracker, etc. open in view as well?

P.S. Regardless the answer for poker, 2 monitors is way better for everything else. Hitting "maximize" and suddenly finding Firefox taking-up 2560x1800 is pretty useless.

I think it'll always be cheaper per table to use multiple monitors. I'm not sure, but I think 2 20" are cheaper than the screens that fit 8 or 9 tables.

Keep in mind that there's no limit to 2 screens. You could get 4 and start 16 tabling.

I agree with SamIam. If you're multi-tasking (/multitabling), 2 monitors is way better than 1 large monitor. A large monitor is only better for watching DVDs/playing games.

The mac doesn't have 2 dvi/vga outputs, so you need a external piece of hardware for that. Or just get a 24" widescreen.
