Monitor Question

[Bluff Daddy]

I have a laptop and I want to add a monitor so I can play 4 tables w/ no overlap what size monitor or max resolution do I need?

You want 1600x1200 resolution.

You probably won't have a problem, but check your video cards documentation to make sure your laptops video card supports 1600x1200.

Same type of monitor question, but different objective.
My desktop supposedly has a video card that supports two monitors. I presently have a 17" CRT. What I would like to do is get a new flat screen large enough to open just two poker sites "full screen" at once. I have some minor vision problems and with the CRT I cannot go to higher resolution w/o icons and print becoming so small I cannot read.
Question is what monitor would you recommend to have 2 games running at once? (should be simple if some can hold 4), and since I can support two monitors is there any reason I can't use the CRT and flat screen together?
I had been told that set up properly my mouse when moved would just "jump" to the other screen. Is that right?

Thanks for any help.

Anything less than 1600x1200 and there will be table overlap. I recommend running the highest resolution you can comfortably use, even if you play two tables, extra space for stuff like pokertracker, a web browser, the poker lobby etc. is always good.

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems with that.
