Hey,
I've got a desktop and I want to get a big monitor and I want to be able to four-table online with it and be able to see all the tables simultaneously...anybody have any suggestions of what to look for? I am completely ignorant regarding these things, so I need some help on this one.

Standard recommendation is the 2001fp by Dell. I have it and it's fantastic, and can be had for less than $550 shipped with the right deal. Just do a search in the internet forum for it and you'll find lots of collective orgasming.

Main thing is you need 1600x1200 resolution if you want to get no overlap. You can get that on a standard 19-inch CRT type monitor for about a hundred bucks, or pay lots more for a LCD like the Dell. Which one you'll be happier with depends on your budget. Either will do the job fine, giving you four tables with no overlap.

I'm on two CRT's now, total cost of about $200. And I can 8-table for that price. If I had lots more cash, I'd try the Dells, but am doing fine with my set-up as it is.
