1600x1200 novelty or necessity?
seems like now is the time to buy a 2001fp, but that would really be breaking the bank. Does everyone seem to think that they are a MUST or increase your hourly rate when 4 tabling since there is no overlap, or is it just nice to have?

The amount you will save in misclicks makes it worth it just by itself. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe if you're some kind of retard, but if you are then you shouldn't be playing to begin with. No its not necessary and adds nothing to your win rate. But it is VERY VERY cool.

Re: 1600x1200 novelty or necessity?
I have had just about every setup you can imagine. I started with a 21"CRT hooked to my laptop. Hurt my eyes. Had eye surgery and switched to 6 17" LCD's at 800x600 while my left eye healed. My eye healed and I ordered a 2001FP. I used it for two days and ebayed my 17's and ordered another right away.
A better question is how may 2001FP's are neccessary. Rob

I'm using 2 syncmaster 21.3Ts for the 8 tables, and a 19 flat for all my other software.
They are more expensive than the dells, but well worth it IMHO. Once you got 1600x1200 you won't ever go back. Makes multitabling much easier.

Mine is 17 inches and, when hooked to my laptop, can go to 1600, 1080 resolution which will four table without overlap. Actually, the bottom part of the table on a party skin is unable to be seen; however, all this does is block out the chat box on the bottom two tables.

Re: 1600x1200 novelty or necessity?
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.

Stare at them for a while at high resolutions and you go bazonkers. Stu

I can 8+ table just fine with 1200x960 res on my desktop. Those that call it a necessity just aren't trying hard enough =P [/ QUOTE ] If you ever tried 1600x1200 you would wonder how you got along without it. Sure, it's definitely possible, but 1600x1200 makes things sooo much easier.
