Hi all,
I am currently beginnning to multi-table and it's addictive! I started w/ 2, then moved to 3...and 4...Well, I want to go to multi-tabling more than 4 at once...
5 to 7 or 8 tables (with NO OVERLAP!!!), and
I would like to ask anyone for advice as to what monitors I should buy...
1. 2 Dell 2001FP 20 inchers
2. 1 Dell 2405 FPW Wide and 1 Dell 2001FP 20 inch
3. 2 Dell 2405 FPWs, both flipped into "portrait mode" and placed side-by-side.
3. 1 Dell 2405 FPW Wide and 1 Dell 2005FPW Wide 20.1 inch
For the last setup, I was thinking to have the massive 24 incher sitting in the center of my desk,
and tilting the 20.1 inch wide into the "portrait mode" and putting it on the side of the 24 incher...
(this should be good for 3 tables at 1360 x 768 resolution (correct me if I am wrong...) - does this sound like a good idea???
(this would save money, rather than buying 2 2405 FPWs, but, the money that could be made by playing extra tables with no overlap could
easily pay for the monitors over just a few week's time...so cost doesn't really matter...assuming this fact/that I could handle the stress of 7-8 tabling...lol)
Also, general question: are 2 Dell 2001FP's side-by-side better than 1 Dell 2405FPW Wide??
(price is about the same for either...interesting consideration, as you sacrifice height in the Wide Aspect Dell...but with 2 2001FPs you'd get height and 2 side-byside would give you even more width...)

Ps. my graphics card is old, but high-end: 128 MB Ti 4600 NVIDIA...It came w/ somthing called "nVIEW" which I haven't played around with but looks like it will help with setting up a dual-display...anyone use nVIEW???
Thank you in advance for any replies/advice! Look forward to hearing (and maybe seeing some pics of!) any great display setups you all might have/be willing to share!
