Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
On Dec. 22 Dell is set to put out a 30" monitor that will support 2560x1600 resolution.
[ QUOTE ] Dell however is planning a 30inch version will no doubt float a great many boats. Though still to be officially confirmed, the 3007WFP (no, apparently it shouldn’t be the 3007FPW) is said to be Dell’s answer to Apple’s staggering Cinema Display. It sports a 2560 x 1600 native resolution, 14ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio and 400cd/m2 brightness. Given that this kind of monitor is likely to attract regular audiences, the wide 178 degree viewing angle should suit them down to the ground. As you would expect with a display this size, there is dual DVI-D connectivity with HDCP and the screen is height adjustable and swivels and tilts. A four port USB2.0 hub and 9-in1 multimedia card reader will complete the line up. At this time pricing alludes us, but doing the math (the Apple display is around £1,750 today) Dell’s pricing strategy should put the 3007WFP in the £1,200 to £1,400 price range. [/ QUOTE ] I'm seriously considering getting one, since my biggest problem while 6 or 8-tabling is that sometimes my brain doesn't draw the connection between both of my current monitors, and I start focusing on only one monitor. So I have a couple of questions for those who either know a lot about this stuff, or those who have the apple 30" cinema one or know someone who has it. 1. How much is it going to cost for a new video card to support it? I'm assuming I'll need a new one. My current desktop is a Dell Dimension 4800 and I got I think the 2nd to worst video card they offered. 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X600 SE HyperMemory I believe. It does have both a VGA and a DVI port 2. How much is it going to hurt my eyes and neck to stare at a 30" ridiculously bright monitor for hours on end? Am I going to have to sit further away? Also, looking at the resolution, I'm thinking I will have to make it 4 tables tall by 2 tables wide (rotating the monitor 90 degrees) to fit 8 tables with no overlap. This sounds infeasible, so if I do it the regular way I will have a little overlap with 9 tables. Is it even feasible for me to play poker on this monitor? Also, in general, will it be difficult to use since it's so big? Looking at the ratio of prices from Dell:Apple, it appears that the 3007FPW will cost around $1500-$1800. I would be converting from 2 2001 FP's to the 3007FPW. I can sell the two combined for around $700. Is it worth spending $800-1100 for this upgrade? Is there any chance the price will be much higher. Am I better off waiting? http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna.../200-30408.jpg (!) |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
I spoke with Dell support about the 30 inch monitor and they said you needed atleast a 128 MB video card to support it. I personally went with the 256 MB geforce 6800.

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
I was constructing an Inspiron 9300 so I just upgraded to it. The upgrade cost me $200 so it's roughly worth the 200 plus how much the original card costed (no idea how much but it was a ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X300 64MB). I am buying this 30 inch monitor the day it comes out (you sure it comes out on the 22nd? Read somewhere it was the 21st).

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
you're right. comes out the 21st. and it's called the 3007WFP, as they're apparently changing the model name so they can change around the 2001 (now 2005) and 2405 as well. I wonder if they're doing away with 2001FP's. that would suck. that would mean the minimum for 4 tabling with no overlap would be 2405WFP (1920x1200). not sure if they'd actually do away with the 2001FP though. the poker world wouldn't allow it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
also, I've been reading and I'm not sure you'd be able to run it off a $200 video card. it needs dual-DVI support. seems like NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX is the card to run it and that goes for $570. another card can run it, you just won't be able to use it at 2560x1200. this sucks astro, do you know much about monitors? |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
$570 video card doesnt sound right. 128MB video card sounds right and thatll run you under $100. i cant see dell releasing a monitor like that that requires a $570 video card.
i dont know about brightness but screen wise looking at the 30" monitor is like looking at 2 2001fp's without the line in the middle. i dont see why youd have to move further back to see it. i currently have 2 2001fps and want to up it to 4. i was contemplating buying a 30" monitor instead of 2 more fps but i think saving a few dollars makes buying the smaller monitors better. the 30" monitor will be much nicer for watching tv and playing video games on though, so it has other practicalities to it. im waiting for the 60" monitor to come out!

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] well I have done a bit of research around the internet, and there are 2 things it needs to run 2560x1200 that most video cards don't have. one is the actual support of that resolution. even higher end models don't support that big. your $100 almost definitely doesn't. most of the sites I've been able to find information on are gamer sites, and they presumably have pretty good graphics cards. the other is it requires dual-DVI which is not supported on most cards, and not on older cards, even high end ones. I like your plan for 4 monitors though. I'm assuming you wouldn't play on the top 2 for the most part though, right? |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
When I actually spoke to Dell support and I verified the fact that the 2560 X 1200 resolution would definetly work with this video card. This video card is the highest upgrade possible for the laptop and I made sure before I ordered it like 4 days ago that the 30 inch monitor with the 2560X1200 resolution would be compatible with it. I actually saved my conversation with one of the support people for future reference, so here is the full convo (tried to clean it up and make it as readable as possible):

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
Very few video cards support 2560x1600, and at this point it is only the really high end (read: expensive) ones...
The amount of video RAM isn't particularly important if the video card and driver do not support the resolution. Perhaps existing cards can either use a driver upgrade or BIOS flash to support 2560x1600, but I'm not sure. |

I can't find it online. maybe there is no max? if I could get one for $200 that would be great |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
sorry for giving you misinformation. i hate it when i do that. im glad to see that you did research on this before a fool like me goes out and buys one not realizing he needs a $500 video card to compliment it:P guess i wont be getting those 2 2001fps off you after all >:(

I just want a new toy. maybe there is a workaround. Dell is all about affordability. they don't want to either deceive their customers (though they do that on a daily basis with some of their coupons and supposed deals) or make it so expensive that no one will buy it. also, the larger market will make this type of video card more highly desired and maybe that will lead to 2560x1600 being standard soon. and who knows. maybe Marquita isn't completely retarded. |

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
Looks cool, but remember how text and some graphics look funny when you rotate a display 90 degrees. That is because the RGB parts of a pixel is rotated. Things would look a little weird on the side monitors compared to the middle one.
|
You need a graphics card with dual-link DVI compatibility
You need a graphics card with dual-link dvi compatibility. This does NOT mean simply two dvi ports, but an actual dual-link feature on the card itself. There are very few cards with that feature out, and Apple sells 6800U and 7800GTX models specifically for that monitor. I bet Dell will do the same.

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
Josh,
I did a little searching on Newegg.com and found video cards that support 2560x1600 resolution starting at $95.00. Of course they up quite a bit higher than that, but there are several options under $200. Here is the NEWEGG link for the page I found. These are PCI Express X16 cards. There are 14 choices. You should be able to get an idea for here. |

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
Some of the cards which support 2560x1600 resolution are not listed in that link.
This is the cheapest one that I've found on Newegg's website: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814142053 It does have dual DVI but like the other guy said I dont believe you need dual DVI to hook up this monitor. This monitor is going to be a beauty. However I do have reservations about spending $1500+ on a monitor and then having to spend another several hundred on a video card just so I can utilize the max resolution. |

[/ QUOTE ] There seems to be a spot of confusion here with Dual DVI (two single-link DVI connectors - a lot of VGA cards have this), and Dual-link DVI, required to do a resolution of 2560x1600. Take a look at wikipedia on DVI here. Also on this wikipedia page, the awesome IBM 3820x2400 quad-dvi flat panel [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Only 22 inch, so probably a bit much for multi-tabling. Also quite expensive. There are not too many VGA cards supporting Dual-Link DVI right now, the ones I know of are the Nvidia 78xx series PCIe cards, and the top end Matrox cards. I think the new ATi 1xxx series PCIe cards do also, but I've not seen one of those yet. Whilst having Dual DVI ports, the Nvidia 7800GT/GTX only have one port that is capable of dual-link, therefore to run a pair of these new 30" Dells you will need two expensive VGA cards and an SLI motherboard to fit them. dave. |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
After doing so more research I believe this card will also support 2560x1600 resolution AND has the dual DVI feature if that is in fact required to run this monitor:

I do think some of the cheaper mentioned cards will work, but this is my suggestion.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130251 It's $175 bucks, and its a beast of a card. Runs Half Life 2 beautifully. Plus it's SLI supported, so you can plug two together, and really kick ass. |

Just add a 2405 FPW in the middle of your two 2001FP's. It looks awesome enough. You aren't really doing more than 12 tables anyways and the 2405FPW is amazing as a main monitor. Makes my 2001FP look small... 30" would seriously be overkill IMO. |
Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
Will the GeForce 7800 GTX DEFINETLY be able to run this 30 inch monitor with the 2560 X 1600 resolution? Pretty important because I am going to return the laptop I just bought (with the 6800 GTX) if it cant handle the Dell 30 and buy a laptop that does offer a 7800 GTX as a video card (this wasn't an option when I was trying to configure the Inspiron 9300).

I can 12 table with no overlap and have AIM/Skype running on the extra space in the 2405FPW. 24" is plenty big for TV/movies on something that is a foot away from your face. That's what my 42" Plasma is for anyways... my computer is for computer stuff. Edit: Also, the 2405FPW is the same pixel height at the 2001FP and only about 1/2 inch taller, so it looks perfectly fine in the middle of 2 2001FPs. |

I'd likely buy another 20" monitor for 350~$ depending on the shipping cost (im from the Netherlands).
