6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

Can anyone recommend a good Dell Monitor in which I can 6 table with no overlap?

Also , I heard with one you can 8 table with no overlap, is that true? If so does anyone nkow which one that is also?

I had some monitor discussions in my favorites but they were deleted and can't seem to find em.

Thanks

Dual Dell 2001FPs is the best/cheapest way to go and will give you 8-tabling capabilities.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

I cannot think of a monitor in the world that will give you 8 tabling with no overlap - 4 is about the best to hope for at 1600/1200 resolution -

but like the poster said - at that res....two monitors and 8 tabling is possible -

I recently purchased the ViewSonic CRT 21" G220fb and I can 6 table without overlap with the resolution set to 2048 x 1536. The borders of the tables overlap but the you can see everyone's cards on each table without having to click on a table to bring it to the top. Stack the tables vertically in 2 rows of 3.

The downside is that the monitor needs a lot of depth so a corner setup works best. It was $420 through Dell including tax and that was 15% off and free shipping.

Maybe it's just me, but everytime I use someone else's computer who has a CRT, it hurts my eyes if I'm staring at it for more than like half an hour. I know next to nothing about tech stuff, so I don't know if there's a reason for this or if I'm just a nut case. Or both.

Festus, any way you can post a screenshot of how the 6 tables look?

I'd like to get a flatscreen, I guess it's going to be expensive.

the reason is, most CRT monitors cannot do 1600x1200 resolution at a decent refresh rate. most all will only run at 60hz. the way to test this is to open up microsoft word or some blank white screen.. look slightly away from the monitor and watch the screen with your peripheral. you will be able to 'see' the screen flickering. its like when you see computer monitors on TV you see the band running up and down. if you ran a higher refresh rate it would mostly likely not hurt your eyes.

Actual image quality is pretty good. Of course, it's small but definitely playable for long stretches.

This little gadget allows comfortable 16 tabling with the additional acquisition of four 20" flat screen monitors.

hey that is really handy! Is there a product for 3 lcd monitors? I want to 12 table eventually. They have a setup for 4 monitors but 16 table is a bit much.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

Are there any good cheap 18+inch monitors? And if I have two monitors what kind of software/hardware do I need to connect em? Can any recommend me a site? Thanks

I believe they have a set up for three monitors side by side, or you can just leave one off the four-monitor set up.

However I think if you intend to play 12 tables you still want as much space as possible. I usually play nine or ten games and I utilise all the available space on the four monitors with lobbies PT etc. Still I agree that it will take longer to repay the investment on the forth monitor than on the first three. (The second monitor almost doubled my income potential overnight, and any serious poker player would daft to not get at least two IMHO.)

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but please help me out. I've just went from 2 to 3 table at Party and I'm trying to get a setup with no (or as little as possible) overlap. I don't understand how this is done because for me when I open a table at Party, the table covers the whole screen down to the taskbar. So when I try to fit them all on there, alot of the table gets cut off. How do you get it so that someone could fit 3 table on the monitor without too much overlap?

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

If anyone has experience with 23" or bigger LCDs and has a recommendation I would love to hear it.

To the poster above how high can your monitor's screen resolution get?

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

thanks festus. appreciate the shot. looks good.

This is the one I'm looking at:
20" Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP

Anyone know if I can 6 table with that one with little or no overlap?

Thanks

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

No, you can 4 table. If you wanna be able to 8 table, get 2.

No.

You can 4 table with no overlap. You're not going to find any 20" monitors that allow that.

I've got 2 of that monitor and it's great for 6-8 tabling.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

You can get a CRT monitor off ebay for $100 brand new that has 1600x1200 resolution which is all that's needed for 8 tabling.

The Dell 2001fp's are extremely hot and sexy but run you 6.5x the cost of the cheapo CRT monitors.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

nice so 8 table with little or no overlap? Guess I'll go with a CRT then even though I didn't want to. How many inches is that?

usually 18\" but check
 

most 18" CRT monitors support 1600x1200 resolution. Just remember to check, if it's not displayed, ask the seller. Remember, it's not the " that matter, it's the resolution.
Also - to clarify, 1600x1200 monitors support 4 tables with no overlap - IT DOES NOT SUPPORT 6-8 TABLES w/o overlap on that single monitor. For playing 6-8, I highly highly highly reccomend getting 2 monitors.

hope that helps

also, there are no single monitors that support 5+ tables with no overlap

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

yeah I dont get why you're so stuck on 1 monitor for playing 6-8 tables. I don't think there are even vid cards that support high enough resolution for 6-8. If there is, the monitor to do it would cost thousands.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

My monitor is at 2048 x 1536 resolution but to six table the tables overlap vertically, can see the cards but not the chat / buttons. Cost like 200 bucks at best buy. Anyone know the cheapest computer to buy with spots for 2-3 videocards?

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

this isnt dell, but it fits your other requirements. funny thing is the video card that supports this monitor cost more than each of my flat panels...

i like the 30"er [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

they have that at the Apple store near me. the thing is absolutely massive. obviously the first thing that came to my mind when I looked at it was "whoa you could fit like 10 tables on that thing"

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

Yea I really just want one screen not 2. I don't want to be flipping my head back and forth between screens, just wanna kick back and relax.

So far, I like how Festus's shot looks. That's exacxtly what I want. 6 tables on one screen. I'll probably go with that computer. Thanks again Festus for posting the shot.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

I have two 20" NEC Multisync 2080UX+ LCD monitors. The framework on this particular monitor is quite narrow so having them lined up next to eachother is really no hassle. Besides, the image quality is just outstanding. It went for roughly $2400 a piece when I bought them, but I think you can find one for $1500 or so now seeing as the prices have dropped considerably. Make sure you get a dual DVI gfx-card if youre going for this monitor setup.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

just build your own computer with just the barebones to play poker instead paying all the extra money from dell. you can get pretty much everything cheap from bestbuy.

Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?
 

I have VERY sensitive eyes (to light, water, smoke, EVERYTHING) but I can handle the CRT okay now that I put one of those tinted screen-filters in front of it.

It's a 3M product (although there are others and I don't know or care which is supposed to be best) and you can get it at Office-Max or Comp USA for $20-$30 I think.

With the fliter, adjusting the brightness and with adequate ambient light around it I actually have less strain look at my CRT monitor than I do my laptop LCD screen.
Might be unique to my eyes though.


I have a viewsonic (P95f+) that can go up to 2400x1500 or whatever. But my video-card in my laptop will only let it go to 2100x1200 so I still get overlap with anything more than 4 tables and they are REALLY small...especially with all the gametime+ numbers up there.

So I gave up on super-small tables and still do the 2 screens at 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 because it just seems to work better for me.
Might experiment more with the smaller tables on the Viewsonic though.

Re: Is my Graphics card good enough?
 

I'm gonna get the Viewsonic that Festus told me about. BUT, how do I know if my graphics card is good enough for 6 tables at a time on one screen?

My card is this: 256MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 XT Graphics Card

Is there a way to check?

Thanks
