Help with monitor(s) please ?

Samsung here for £204 does 1920x1200. Cheapest I could find.

If you seriously want 9 monitors, you'll need some seriously balla graphics cards. Most you can get out of a single card is 4 (AFAIK).

I play poker on a 50" plasma myself (although it's only 1920x1080), sat in a sik Stressless chair. Very comfy.

Good find with the Samsung.  That is the resolution of my laptop and is great for poker.  Will have to invest in a second monitor with that resolution as well sometime soon.

Samsungs are great, I have the 24" HD something or other with the snazzy dark red surround.  It's a lovely screen

Let's see, 9 of them that's £1,800
A system with the graphics card and everything to run it, about £2k

Mounting them against the wall will probably be another few £100. Oh, and a table top fridge imo, why not.


If my horse binks the GUKPT this weekend, that's looking good.

To extend your desktop (I guess that's what you mean) you need to right click on your desktop select properties/personalise.  Then select display settings.

You'll see two monitors on that screen.  You need to select the 2nd one and click the check box to "extend the desktop on this monitor".

I've done this and am now using my LCD TV as a 2nd monitor but how do i get things to appear on it? I've just got my desktop showing (with no icons) but i can still use my laptop albeit with a dodgy resolution

i use a laptop and 22" monitor with ipoker software and have played up to 12 tables with it. get used to overlap?

what might be more cost effective is badgering ipoker to design some resizable tables

Ideally we want 9 monitors attached against the wall, no desk whatsoever, just me facing them in a sik fucking chair with a gamepad.

Trying to cost it for under £2.5k. Do you reckon I've got a chance? Can always add the sik fucking chair later I suppose.

I was messing about with a system from this company the other week. May be a bit more than 2.5K but f**k me it was awesome.

We had it connected to via 8 DVI ports feeding onto to 2 x 50" Panasonic plasma screens.

Go to control panel,personalization,display settings then set that as your main monitor
