Default Six tabling on Dell 2407WFP

Ok so not really software, but this is still a real tech savvy forum.

Ok so Dell is having a promotion (in aus) for its 2407WFP. Recently my brain has been able cope with six-tabling on FTP, and I'm looking for a monitor to do it without overlap. Can anyone confirm that the 2407WFP is good enough for sixtabling? I'm thinking 1920 x 1600 is a high enough resolution for 6 x 800 x 600 FTP table windows.

On a related topic, my current monitor is the 2007 WFP which is 1680 x 1050 res. If I plug it into the VGA port in the graphics card as the secondary monitor (supposing the 2407 WFP as the primary monitor), will it still look/ perform well enough? As I understand it, VGA << DVI.

I use a 22" 1680x1050 - 6 table with no overlap, and not even at the very smallest table size of stars or tilt.

U should be able to 9 table on a 24" without overlap.

The monitor runs at 1920x1200. The 1920 number is how many pixels wide it is. 800x600 tables are 800 pixels wide. 800 x 3 = 2400, which is obviously greater than 1920, so no this monitor will not run 3 columns of tables at default size without horizontal overlap. However, it will only take a little table resizing to fit 6, and they will be pretty gorgeous.

As for your second question, my eyes can't see a difference between VGA and DVI on my 1600x1200 Dell 2001FP. Your old monitor will look fine hooked into VGA.

LOL, for 6-tabling on a site with resizeable tables, this coudn't be further from the truth.

Poker computer off now, tomorrow will post 6 tables of FTP on a 1920x1200 Dell 2401 FPW.

It is a sick monitor, ideal for six tables. Can do 9 if need be, although a 20" 1600x1200 is the same for this, but also can do 12 tiny tables with no overlap, which a 20" can certainly not manage. 12 tiny are too small for me tho.

My current setup - 10 tables, 6 on the primary Dell 24", a further 4 on a Samsung 20", tables in two rows of five.

dave.

if you can afford not to...

20" 4:3 can have 4 tables no overlap, 24" 4:3 can have 6 tables no overlap and 30" 4:3 can have 9 tables no overlap

so no need to go gungho people, not everyone plays on FTP/Stars/Party

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 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] (if anyone's interested in buying my monitor, PM me). But I know several other poker players who can play 6-12 tables on their 24" and don't mind it at all, so it's different for everyone.

6 tables on 1920x1200 is freaking fantastic. I ordered one a week ago after playing on a friend's.

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