Default 1680X1050

I know that there is slight overlap for 1680x1050 monitors, but does the overlap actually cover any of the buttons? As long as it doesn't cover any of the buttons at all I don't really care if there is slight overlap, especially since there is a 75 dollar difference between a 1680x1050 monitor I'm looking at and the cheapest 1600x1200.

Thanks

i'm sure it'll fit if you cut off the chat box on the bottom two tables. also note that if you are playing party, their table sizes are noticeably less than 600 pixels tall.

General thoughts:

1. Monitors don't get outdated. Mine usually last for 3+ years. Get 1600x1200 and save an extra $2/month to make up for the cost.

2. Party windows are resizable. You could fit 6 windows on the 1680x1050 or 6-9 on the 1600x1200.

3. Go to a local computer shop and buy a used 1600x1200 crt for less than $100 if money is an issue.

Good luck
