    I'm gonna buy a new computer and I'm unsure on which monitor setup to get. I know shit all about computers and shit but my options are 22" widescreen LCD, 24" widescreen LCD, or some kinda dual monitor set. $$ is a factor and I don't want to spend too much but I do want to be able to play 12+ (looking to 20 tables?) tables reasonably comfortably. At the moment I've just got a 17" CRT which I've outgrown, I can play a maximum of 9 tables on it and they're quite small.

    Anyone who plays 12+, 20+? tables what is your setup? Is a dual monitor set up the way to go? Or is a single 22" large enough? Cheers.

    Dual 24s is for sure your best bet....

    Im running on a 32" samsung which is nice if you wanna play from 25 ft away but its not very good for multi-tabling

    i have 2 dell 20.1 inch monitors with 1600x1200 resolution, so 4 tables at default size fit on each screen with no overlap, which is perfect because i rarely play more than 4-6 tables. they were like $500 each around 2 years ago, so im sure u can get them or a different brand for cheaper now.

    with 24" you can fit 4 windows on one screen without having to minimize at all, so if you're squeezing 9 into a 17 inch monitor 24" should be heavenly for you.
