How often do you use your second monitor
The Dell 2001FP is $426.85 right now (with coupons). I've got one 2001FP, and the low price is making me consider getting another one.
But I can't convince myself that I'd use it often enough for it to be worthwhile. Do I really want to 8-table? That sounds so boring. Right now, I typically 3- or 4-table when I play fixed-limit hold 'em (although I've been playing more no-limit lately, and I just single-table that game). I prefer playing just three tables so I can watch a movie or surf the net in the other quarter of the screen. Poker isn't my job, and I'm afraid that if I started playing more than four tables it would feel like work. I know everyone is different. How many of you have bought a second monitor, eight-tabled for a while, got bored with it, and went back to playing fewer tables more often? |

Re: How often do you use your second monitor
We've had 2 moniters for years, love it. If I only feel like 2 tabling, I can surf the net, work on e-mail, etc while the poker is on the other one. If I am 4-8 tabling, I keep half the tables on one monitor, half on the other, helps my brain keep things straight! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: How often do you use your second monitor
I hardly 8-table anymore, but the second monitor is great for porn.

Re: How often do you use your second monitor
You don't even really need to 8-table for full use of the 2nd monitor...I play anywhere from 3 to 6 tables and even when I'm playing 3 or 4, I use the 2nd monitor for the lobby screens, to make sure PT is importing ok, AIM, Firefox, or TV. If you like watching movies/reading websites while 3-tabling, it will be much better w/a 2nd monitor than just having it in one quarter of the screen, especially for surfing the web.

Re: Definition of a bargain
Bargain: Something you don't need at a price you can afford.
I have 2 monitors and use the second one much more than I thought I would. In fact I am looking to add a third monitor. In your case it doesn't sound like you need a second monitor, you just find the price attractive. It seems likely prices will continue to drop, why not wait until you say "at that price I can't pass it up"? |

Re: How often do you use your second monitor
I have three monitors. Two for poker and one for putting everything else on.
