22 Inch Widescreen Monitor Question

[Red Stine]

I have a 1600x1200 21 inch monitor, and you can put four normal size tables on one screen.

The 22" widescreen monitors have 1680 by 1050 resolution.

I know most sites allow you to resize tables these days, but can you fit four normal size tables on the screen of one of these monitors set to this resolution?

Thanks

There will be some top/bottom overlap.

You'll have some extra space on the sides to stick your AIM buddylist or something, but if you're getting the monitor primarily for poker, you should probably stick with a 1600x1200 or bigger.

Red Stine,

the 22 inch widescreen is not good for poker. I'd recommend the 24 inch instead - you'll get 1920x1200 resolution, more than enough for 4 standard tables (800x600) plus some extra room on the sides. Either that or just stick with the 21".

I have 2 of those since x-mas. So far it work great for me on poker star. I like it much better than my 2 old 20 inch monitor.
