Six tabling on Dell 2407WFP

The OP does. Also, I didn't know there were 24" monitors in 4:3 ratio. What resolution would that be?

And yeah a 30" would be the best obviously, but the 24s are a lot more affordable. As for combining two 20" screens, I actually prefer slightly resizing 6 tables to fit on a 24" than playing 6 full-sized across two monitors. That setup requires too much head-swiveling for me.

My brother plays 6 resized tables on a 1440x900 19-inch, and it's quite a bit easier on the eyes than when I run six on my 1600x1200 Dell.

BTW Dave, are you still thinking about making an betpot script for AP?

BetPot and StarsPlanner will be receiving Absolute enhancements within the next few days at most... took me a little while to figure out how to grab info from the abso client... done that now, just need to write the parser... easy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It really comes down to personal preference. If you can deal with the smaller resized tables, get the 24". If you prefer full sized tables like I do, get a 30" monitor. Or two 20" 1600x1200 monitors if you don't want to spend as much money.

I've considered the 30" as well, and the only problem with it (besides the price) is that it needs a dual-DVI graphics card. This wouldn't be so bad if I had another PCI-Express slot to run dual-graphics cards. Two Dual-DVI cards = 30" main screen + 20" (or even 2x 20" ?) screen rotated would be sick. But that would mean I'd need a new motherboard, and hence a new computer. I'm not that balla, so whatever.

Anyway, the 24" setup is 33% larger (in terms of total screen area) than my current 20" setup, so I'll have a think about cost-benefit (possibility of misclicking for a $400 pot lol).

I bought a 2407WFP a few months ago after _dave_ recommended it to me and I don't like it as much as my previous setup of 2x 2001FPs. THANKS A LOT DAVE -- I'm kidding [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Heh, sorry [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

If I am not mistaken, that was in the Party days? I used to 12 table no worries on PTY with my 24", but 12 on Stars is horrible - I misread stacks all the time [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

2X20" is of course better than a single 24"... I do not remember knowing you were going to lose the twenties - I'd have kept them and run them either side of the 24" (my current setup)

Of course 30" is the nuts - If only they'd add one shipping to Europe in the Stars FPP store - lol racists [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi,

Hope it helps : this a screenshot of 9 tabling on my Dell 2407WFP (left screen, right screen is my old 19 LCD) :

9 tabling on stars

1920*1200 monitor is perfect for 9 tabling on site witch allows resize.

Thanks for the screengrab.

I am going to try having my Start/Task Bars on the left side like you do. It will take some getting used to, for sure. I think it will be more convenient, as most of my DTop shortcuts are on that edge of my screen too.
