Hey i was looking to buy a monitor so that i can more easily multi table. I usually 4-table, what size would be good for this and do you have any suggestions on a particular one(the cheaper the better)? Also, what would be necessary to use it as a television also?

I just bought this one for my Dad. It's fine for playing 4 tables, with either minimal or no overlap (depending on the configuration).

I don't think you'll find a better one that's this size for the price. I actually paid $209 at Best Buy.

You can fit 4 tables on a 22" monitor? Nice.

If you don't mind resizing you can 9-table with practically no overlap as long as the resolution is 1680*1050 or better. I think I might be slightly annoyed by the table size at first if I ever decided to play 7+ tables of cash, but for SNGs and 6 or less tables of cash it works fine.

I got an 18" ViewSonic last year for slightly about the same as the one Cubbies described. u can 4-table, except for PLO/PLO8... all ur 6-handed games should come on ok.
22", you won't be squinting as much...
edit: it's 19", i meazured wrong Embarassed

Maybe that is why my eyes are getting bad.......

Don't know what y'all have your resolution set to, but I have four tables tiled rather than overlapping on a 19 inch at 1024x768. It is more than accommodating at that setting.

22 inches should be able to tile 9 tables, shouldn't it? At 1200?


EDIT: ohhhhhhhhh.........you guys are using avatars, right?

I picked this up last week .. I have duel's with a a viewsonic 20" and think I will be buying another of these sweet sweet sweet 24" rotatable HD's ... I recommend it to anyone .. but you will need almost 3 gigs of ram for the software that goes with it
