Should come in around $2K, in landscape mode it could easily support eight tables. No?

Yer just a hair late, dooder.

[stinkypete]

if by "easily" you mean without overlap, then no.

I was under the impression that this monitor could handle 8 tables with no overlap (and 9 with little overlap)...is this not true? I was going to get it rather then 3 21 inch monitors specifically for this reason.

Thanks.

Let's try some simple math.
2560/800 is a little over 3
1600/600 is less than 3
This means you get (3*2)=6 tables without overlap.

unless you can put it in portrait mode, 2x800 = 1600, and 4x600 = 2400 so it would be fine. It would be really weird to use, but it would work, if it supports it.

I just hope it helps the price on the 2405 come down, I really want one but have not been able to justify the expense yet. If there is another dimension deal with one for less than 900 I will grab it, otherwise I wait.

I think in landscape you can get 8 tables without overlap. Think of it as 2 1600x1200 screens stacked on top of each other, with 160 extra pixels of height for a really big taskbar or something! Of course, if you can't do landscape on a $2000 monitor then somebody is fired.

With the new party software and this monitor you could do 9 party tables and have extra room for several other site's tables in the same screen.

I didn't think of that; that's prety smart.

But it would probably be pretty awkward and hard on the neck to play that way. You could probably keep it in standard widescreen orientation and deal with some overlap on the tops and bottoms. Three rows of tables would take ~1800 height and you have 1600, so it wouldn't be too bad.
