Ok so i'm about to shell out $1200 for two 2100FP's but my buddy tells me there are some new ones that are widescreen and do 6 w/ no overlap???

Anybody have these or tried them?????

Thanks

The Dell widescreens I know about are too short vertically. Unless they like just last week came out with a new model or something, but I think I would have heard about it if they did.

The thing is of course that you need the 1200 part of a 1600x1200 resolution if you want no overlap. And the Dell widescreens don't have it.

Last I heard they can't even do 4. Zoo is a better place for this q.

To do 6 with no overlap, it would need to do 2400 x 1350 (assuming 16:9), which I don't think Dell is doing yet.

Might be the new Dell 2405FPW.

Well they lists its max resolution at 1920x1200, so it should handle the vertical portion of the equation just fine. The problem is with the 1920 you won't be able to fit three tables across without any overlap. You'd probably end up with in total half a table of overlap per set of three. Now I don't think this would be much of a problem as you should easily be able to choose seats such that your cards are always visible and the location where the action buttons are are always visible.

Hardly looks like a deal to me, unless you can get it for half price.

I got two 2001fp's for $400 each.

Regardless, even if it could fit 6 tables, for the same price, actually less, why not get two monitors that can manage 8 tables?

1920 won't do six.

I'd use this thing for watching DVD's in bed.
