Title: Computer question
Post by: FuglyBaz on August 30, 2008, 02:24:38 PM
I'm buyin a laptop soon with a 17" screen. I was wondering if there is any way to run more than 4 tables at once on pokerstars, but with the ability to see more than 4 tables at once?

Without overlap do you mean?

I use a 17" lappie screen and find the limit is 4 tables without overlap. Fitting in some more would mean having them so small that you risk damaging your eyes.


With overlap, run as many as you like.

Yeah without overlap. Thinking about it I'd need a ridiculously huge screen, which defeats the object of buying a lappy in first place lol.

I think LeKnave/Horneris and co use the big mionitored laptops and may be able to tell you what size screen you need for 6/9/12 tables.

Also remember that bigger screens does not necessarily mean better resolution.

You can plug your lappy into a normal desk top monitor if you dont mind buying both.

Get a 1920x1200 laptop and depending on the site, you can play up to 12 tables at once without overlap.
