Default 12 tabling and monitor setups

Currently I'm 8 tabling on two 20" monitors no resizing.
I'm trying to increase the number of tables, so I played for an hour 10 tabling on smaller tables.
My eyes got tired much sooner.

My options seems to be:
- buy another 20" monitor
drawbacks: too much neck movement, have to buy another video card too
- replace one with a 30"
drawbacks: cost
-cascade tables tried it in the past and didn't like it but might give it another shot


What do you suggest?

What kind of monitor setup do you use?

I play on a laptop using the tile tables button on stars, 3 rows of 4 tables.

Default Re: 12 tabling and monitor setups

A couple years ago I bought two 23" Samsung monitors. I hooked those two up and I also had a 17" CRT set up on it. I kept PT, AIM and so forth on the 17" and would run however many I wanted on the other two big ones. I also had set up an xbox controller so I could just lean back and play away. with limit, it was just easy to program buttons to be pressed. I've not worked it out with NL. I"ll have to look into that because it was the nuts.

Samsung makes a very nice and reasonably priced LCD. Check out newegg.

Perhaps you should chill out on the 12 tabling while you aren't sure you beat the game (you mentioned you were on a big downswing in another thread). No offense intended.

my 22" are both acers...they go for around $320 brand new at bestbuy...i know acer is the most popular brand but they are pretty solid...also renton, i bought them a while back b4 my downswing, and since my downswing i have dropped to 8 tables max now...but i think my downswing may be over now, i booked a couple decent wins the past few days...but i will continue to just 8 table until i feel comfortable enough to go back to 12...btw no offense taken, i appreciate the advice...

if u can afford a 30" monitor get one. 12 tables tiled looks great, attach ur current monitor to run other program, if i was at school id post a pic of my setup. One of my best electronic investments yet.
