1280x1024 ...probably already asked...

[DreamMaster]

I know this question has probably already been asked, but I'm asking anyways. I am thinking of getting a new 17 or 19' monitor but they only display 1280x1024 resolution. I know 1600x1200 can do 4 tables, but those monitors are damn expensive. So I am wondering how many tables 1280x1024 can do and how is the overlap??

If I said 3 would you believe me?

You said monitor - are you considering both lcd and crt? If so, you can get crt's that support 1600x1200 pretty cheap (around $200). Here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116282) is an example.

If you are getting the monitor simply to 4 table, then you really should go 1600x1200. It will be a waste of time and money not to.

If you are looking specifically for an lcd, then save up for the Dell (and find a coupon/deal).

I have been looking at the Dell lcds, and all of them don't have an optimal res of 1600x1200 except for the big 20 inch ones. Also, I'm looking for a flat panel over a crt (damn desk space).

I really don't NEED to 4 table, heck if I could get 2 tables without overlap I would be fine. That is why I am asking how 1280x1024 does in that area.

If the monitor supports pivot (rotation) you can do that. Rotating the screen to 1024*1280 and then two tables will fit on top of each other.
