1600 x 1200 is a necessity.

A 2001fp is a luxury.

You can get a nice 19" or larger flatscreen CRT that will do the job just fine. The only problem is it takes up more space. But if space is not a problem just go with the CRT for now until you build a bigger bankroll. Under a $150 can get you a 19" cRT that will be just fine for poker. Look for sales at best buy or circuit city.

Agreed. Once you use 1600x1200, you won't want to use smaller monitors anymore. In addition to Best Buy and Circuit City, you could check out Overstock.com. They usually have good deals on refurbished monitors. And they frequently run $1 flat shipping rate specials. I got two refurbished 21" Dell flat screen CRTs for a total of $300 shipped.

Another "me too." I don't know how i lived without 1600x1200. Hell I can barely make it on my 1920x1200 laptop now, without the 2nd monitor.
I have a 1600x1200 for 4 tabling, then a 17" CRT (1280x1024) beside it for all the ancillary stuff and/or a 5th table. Sure, I survived before with just the CRT... but now I wonder how.
