So which Monitor with 1600x1200 and Minimum 19 inch you can recommend? I can afford 700 US $.

Dell 2001FPs are frequently on sale for less than $500. Even if they're 30% higher where you are they'll be under $700. I'd recommend one, I got a couple and they're pretty cool and relatively inexpensive.

slim--I just purchased this exact monitor last week, for around $625 (after $100 rebate), and I'd def. recommend it. I don't have experience using any other large, flat-screen monitors for poker purposes, but I love it so far and it's perfectly adequate for four-tabling.

Oh, and you can't go wrong with Samsung stuff in general. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I recently bought a Samsung 997DF 19" 1600x1200 monitor at COMPUSA for $199.00 and it 4 tables without overlap.

Back in my day, we use to 8-table on 1024x768 on our laptops.

I really want a second monitor. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

The resolution is the main thing. You've got 1600x1200 there, so you're set because you can get four full tables onscreen that way. The actual screen size is much less important. 19 inches is great, though, and that's probably what almost every 4-tabler uses. You can be confident that 19 inches is a great monitor size.

By the way, you can get 19-inch CRT's for about a hundred dollars American, which is one fifth or less of the price you will typically pay for a LCD screen. I'm using two now that I got for that price. Some of these no-name monitors are better than others so you should always have a physical look at any monitor before you buy it, but I've been enjoying mine for years.

Don't be scared off of using regular CRT monitors for four-tabling. It's dirt cheap and works absolutely fine.
