Is a monitor that does 1600x1200 really necessary for 4 tabling effecitvly? I am considering buying a new monitor and am a small stakes player (Currently 1024x768).

I have just linked up my VERY old 19"CRT to my laptop to try out 1280x1024 and you can fit 4 tables in comfortably if you hide the chat boxes and part of the edge players names?

I am building up the number of tables I play and think that buying a monitor with a high resolution purely for poker would be a waste when they are nearly 2x as expensive as 1280 monitors.

Does anyone 4table at 1280x1024 and how do you find it? Also anyone who have made the jump from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200, is the difference worth the extra price?
