Help with 4+ sng's

pokerheaven · #1 03-06-2005, 01:24 PM

Hi all I need help setting up my screen. I just got a 17" flat screen, so much better then the old 15" big computer monitor!!lol But anyways i would like to know what screen resolution i need to use to have 4tbl sng's and have them not overlap each other.
Also, i would like to use my old monitor to set up 2 screens and be able to 8tbl but don't have a clue of how to do that. So any input would be great!

Thx

To have 4 Party Poker skins up with no everlap you need 1600x1200 resolution.

To use multiple monitors, you will need two video cards.

I think the best you can get is 1280x1024 (maybe only 1024x768 but i'm not sure). With the former resolution you should get minimal overlap.

You're staggering the starting time so 2-3 SNG's aren't bubbling at the same time right?

Uh!? I am writing this message on a 3 year old laptop that has 1600x1200 resolution.

Your laptop is rare indeed, or it's a tank.

Unfortunately not, unlike CRTs I think LCDs are manufactured for pixel-to-pixel display, so there's no way to fit a higher resolution on that monitor. I found playing on 1280x1024 to not be too bad at all, overlap isn't too bad. I prefer 1600x1200 of course though.

You will need both a video card that supports it AND a monitor that supports it.

I think most of the new video cards do. Monitors are a different story though.
