or should i bump up the res.. or go with 17in normal

I think each table is 800x600, so you need at least 1600x1200 for zero overlap. 1280x800 is not gonna cut it. You should bump up the resolution, increasing the physical size of the screen won't effect how much overlap you have.

thanks for the info, also I guess my post sounds ignorant thinking I could bump up the screen size to improve resolution. What I actually was gearing towards is whether the 15.4 Widescreen to small to have such a high resolution and would the 17in be worth getting in that aspect.

thanks again for the info.

It's a matter of personal preference, I went with the 17in. You could always try the 15.4 and exchange it if things are too small, which I think they will be. There are ways to make things more readable, but certain webpages and stuff are resistant to that sort of thing.
