    Hey P5's I am gonna be buyin a desktop and I was just wondering what sized screen I should get that would allow me to play between 6-9 tables at once while filling the screen with no overlap? If anyone can recommend any monitors in particular that would be great.

    Thx bigijmmylea1

    beh, I have a few 20"-24" monitors and regret not splurging for 30"

    Just get a massive 30" and eventually another smaller monitor if need be.

    since no-one has mentioned this - it is actually the resolution of the monitor that will dictate how many table you can play without overlap, etc, not the size of the screen itself.

    1920x1200 would be a good resolution for this many tables. Generally this resolution is available on 24-27" screens (although can be had on laptop screens down to 17").

    I have the Dell 2709w which I am very happy with. It was about AU$650, no idea on UK prices.
