blonde poker forum

Thinking about getting a new monitor and was wondering what size/resolution I need to 4 table with no overlap?  I know it's been asked before, but I can't find it.


Ta :kiss:

1600x1200

Thank you

Is the right answer.  The iPoker tables are actually slightly larger than 800x600 (IIRC), and so you do get a very small overlap.

Widescreen monitors (unless you get one with a whopping resolution) aren't actually well-suited for multi-tabling.  A 4:3 ratio monitor is often a better choice, unless of course you have other considerations that make the wide-screen more suitable for you.

Thank you too, I didn't know that about the widescreen.  I don't really use it for anything else these days so there's no real need to have the wider versions. 

Thank you, ChrisTennant.

 don't thank Kin for posting..please, it only encourages him.

Whereas you don't need any encouragement. 

No..I find my "annoying" gene makes sure I post.

Neil's brother?

What have I, what have I, what I done to deserve this?

whats the best 1600x1200 screen you can get?

sod that, i been up to 10 tabling mtt on a 15" laptop for years now. although if i played on ipoker with those silly size windows id prob get a bigger moniter too. Stars and Tilt ftw imo

You must squint a lot, cant be good for your eyes. You must have lost money a few times because of that (ie. folding a monster because you didnt get to the table in time)?

He can't see the screen anyway through his hair.

Shaun F Deeb styleeeeee.  Its defo possible to grind just on a lappers on Stars n Tilt, maybe prty too.  But iPokers imposs to.

Any recomendations for some 1600x1200 res monitors, i have a retro one atm that does the job but is absolutely massive lol.  So i'm looking for another.

am looking for a 2400 x 1600 + anyone got any good recommendation's?

This is a widescreen TFT monitor, but it's 1900 x 1200, so will do the job:

£215 - so it's at the budget end.

Acer  AL2416W      FTW

Have you got one of these?  The price looks good, and I'm sure they're more than sufficient for playing poker on and browsing the web.

Cheers Kin, thts the kind of thing im after.  Will have a browse around later.

yes m8  awesome bit of kit

Found a couple of Dells that are 2560x1600 was really hoping to find a 2400x1800 but cant find one anywhere.

Some SNG nerd must know surely?

you?

Want me to give Dale a ring ?

These are the 2 Dell ones, i cant actually see any difference??

£61.10 is the difference.  No need to thank me.

Buy two smaller monitors - you get more screen space for much less £££.

Not enough desk space, want 1 monitor only, deffo the better option though.

There's a cracking set up that uses one stand that holds three monitors.  Small footprint on the desk, and you cna even wall mount it.  I'll find a pic.

It's a 30" in the middle, and two 20" in portrait mode on each side.

Like this:

But best to have it wall mounted on a single bracket. That would be very cool.

Here's the same set up again:

Better desk FTW

no worries with this 1

How difficult is it to set up?

Piece of the proverbial.

Well i don't use a desk, that is the problem!!

No-one got a large res monitor then?

2 posts deleted in one day? WOW

Wall-mount FTW.

Yes ... I tell you what Paul, I will re post the one that was deleted off this thread as well

Or just badger ipoker for resizeable tables - or play somewhere else ?!?

(Couldnt resist ;) )

so now both your posts asking people not to play on blondes network have been re instated.

Happy now ?

Jesus Kev, chill man!

Defo time of the month! ;)

How chilled would you be if someone kept posting on your accountancy forum saying "dont use Paul Garnham as an accountant, try somewhere else" .. or "anywhere but Garnhams"

PS. I know you dont have an accountancy forum, but im sure you get the point I am trying to make here.

And there was me thinking this was a poker forum.



I have NEVER tried to persuade people not to play on Blonde - thats just not me.

Like I already said , strange when I decide to "have a laugh" that both posts are deleted - especially after what has happened recently.

Do you suppose no one will ever post having a joke at me again? Or have their post deleted if they do? Of course not.

BOTH of my posts were in jest - as I am sure most will know.

guys can you buy one of these moniters and put it thru your lappy instead of ure lappy screen? and can you use both at the same time or just use the lcd monitor

Virtually all laptops will allow you to extend your desktop to a second monitor.  It's a built-in functionality of windows and the computer's graphics card.

With the second screen attached, you simply have to do the following:

1.
Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

2.
In the DisplayProperties dialog box, click the Settings tab.

3.
Click the Display list and select your external monitor.

4.
Select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor option. Click Apply or OK.


There are other things you can do to use any networked computer as an additional monitor (so you can run three screens off the laptop).  With desktops you can add additional graphics cards to support 2 or more monitors.  It's all pretty simple.

ty for the response m8, does it matter if the screens are different sizes?

Not at all.

Shipped this one:

lmfao

sigh. Too much time on your hands...

I recently realised i can put my computer through my TV woot!

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=television&type=television&subtype=tftlcd&model_cd=LE32R88BDX/XEU

Fk monitors! I have two 22" monitors as new for sale if anyone would like them ! lol..

The res is only 1366 x 768 so u cnt 4tble ipoker with 0 overlap.

Monitors ftw.

Props for the balla tv tho.

Dont play on Ipoker so not fussed. Trying to find my monitors i have atm but cant find them online! grrr.

I have the 30" dell 3007WFP-HC. 2560x1600. Biggest resolution you can get ATM. You will need a desktop PC to run at that resolution and the graphics card needs to be dual link compatible - the new ones / reasonably expensive ones of a year ago all are.

You get 6 800x600 tables on it with no overlap. If you wanted to use it in portrait, you would get 8 tables.

For the best value, 2 widescreen monitors in portrait get you the best / cheapest screen real estate.

The 3008 is new and has more inputs HDMI etc. The 3007 only has a DVI input - fine if you only connect your PC.

Cheers m8, prices good?

Not really, I bought mine 9 months ago (off ebay) for less. There aren't any on dell's website ATM, a lot of the time they have promotions on them and can be had for £900 direct from dell, which put the prices down everywhere else. Wait a month if your not desperate for it and check prices again, otherwise http://www.pcbuyit.co.uk/product2.asp?sku=211&deptId=6 is a little cheaper. Also there is a 2nd hand one on ebay, which I'd personally go for.

It came yest, looks incred.  Pretty sure im just gonna 1 table on ftp with it, as one enormous screen looks amazing.

insta level

OK so i bought it and obv only have a Radeon X300, help me get my max res!!!

Seems max res of Radeon X300 is 2048 x 1536

http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonx300/specs.html

yeah that is the prob, can i buy an adapter or anthing for it or do i need a new video card? and if so anyone got a tip?

I assume you'll need a new card - I wouldn't have thought a driver upgrade could 'unlock' higher resolutions.

me neither but i am an optimist!!

This is a decent card http://www.saverstore.com/productinfo/Product.aspx?product_id=20020220&rstrat=1032

Cheers was about to post about 1 i just saw on novatech, same as that but 512 instead of 256 for £105

Is it worth the diffrence?
