OT: monitor set ups for multi tablers?

[CheeseMoney]

Dale, you play continuous or in sets?

[tercet]

From personal experience I prefer one monitor with lots of overlap.

I've played 42 sngs at once on a 14inch laptop monitor with no problems. I cant imagine playing sngs on multiple monitors, too much moving around.

continuous when i have the time.
doing a set then another set then another set just kills the $/hr

currently i 12 table the 16s on stars, but before i go to college next year i need to get a better monitor(s). Currently i 12 table on a 19" wide screen (1440x900) and its a little crowded but I can handle it. I would like to increase the number of tables I can play (this resolution can currently only support 12), and am wondering if you guys have any suggestions/complaints about specific monitors? Any help would be great.


right now im thinking the 22" widecreen Samsung, but i would love to hear your thoughts

I have the 225BW and love it. I only 4 table but there is a lot of extra space.

The 30" Dell is a no brainer. I certainly would've bought it if I weren't playing on a Mac Mini which only supports up to 1920x1200. Right now I have the Dell 24" widescreen, which can do 6 smaller tables but I want more. As soon as I decide to build a PC I'm upgrading to the 30". It really is the best and obvious choice if you have the money.

P.S. Before this I had two 20" Dells and they were fine too.

im using a 30" dell @ 2560x1600 native resolution.

12 tables without overlap looks really good (3 rows of 4 tables)

16 tables without overlap is fine but the text on stars is starting to look a bit small

I usually run 16 tables by having 12 tiled then another 4 along the bottom of the screen with the top 50% of those tables overlappin with the bottom 50% of the 3rd row of 4 tables. I like it, works well.

How many full size tables can you fit on the 30" without any overlap?

I'm considering buying one of these. Can anyone recommend a graphics card that won't cost the earth? Also, my PC is about 2 years old - will it be able to support this setup, or will i need to shell out for a new pc?

thanks!

what does this mean? do you mean to cascade the tables instead of tile them?
