I found out my monitor can only display a maximum resolution of 1280x1024. Using pokerstars I am only able to fit 2 games on the screen at a time and that is with some overlap.

I would love to be able to have 4 games on the screen without overlap. Christmas is coming and I want a monitor.
Can someone who currently plays with 4 games on the screen tell me what resolution is needed. I plan to buy a 19in.

Table size is 800x600, so you need a monitor with 1600x1200 resolution. I use a 19in CRT that I bougt for about $150. If you want an LCD with that resolution, you're looking at about 4 times the price.

If you have the room for it, you can get a 21" CRT that can do 1600x1200 or better for under $300. Try local computer stores or computer fairs, or Overstock.com (http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=CATLIST&PRO_SUB_CAT=410&PRO_SSUB_CAT=9 99)
