Default Strategies for 24-tabling with a crappy 1280 x 1024 monitor?

Some players here have attempted to 24-table in Stars with the introduction of a higher limit of tables. As I am constrained by the current limitations of my monitor 1280 * 1024, what would be the best way to arrange these tables to minimize the chance of a misclick on a wrong tables? Are there any other software strategies that I can use?

Although 24 tables can be opened, the "tile" feature in Stars would only allow to do it with 12.

LOL @ 24-tabling without being able to afford two 30" HD cinema displays.

I 21 table (sometimes) on a 20" and a 24". It sucks. Don't do it. You'll slow the games down and make less money. I'm getting at least 2 30's (maybe 3) if I decide to really 24 table. I'd rather not go blind from the poker.

My Setup:

Left - 1680X1050 20"
T1 - T2 - T3
T4 - T5 - T6

Right - 1600X1200 20"
T7 - T8
T9 - T10


I resize the tables on the left monitor a tiny bit, and it fits great.
When I add more tables, I add to T3/T6/T7/T9 so that I have 2 tables in those slots.

14 is the max I've done.

I 24 table on a 20" 1600x1200. Tables are normal sized. I have a stack of 6 tables in each corner of the screen. I use my other monitor for the lobby, winamp, browser etc. Scripts are pretty much mandatory for me. I use several. Check the software forum.

My Setup:

Left: 24" 1900x1200
Right: 17" Widescreen 1280x800

(my right screen is the laptop. left is obviously just the external monitor)

i only play with tables on my left screen...looks like this:



i personally hate playing across 2 monitors...so playin on one is ideal. i might try CMAR's stack method...tho ive never used it...so i cant say if its as good as people have said it is

Here's my old set-up; 2 x 30" + 1 x 24" (I now have 3 x 30")

To be honest, if you're good enough to make money playing that many tables then there's no reason not to purchase at least two 30" monitors. They pay for themselves.
