Before you spend another 150 quid, 1920 x 1080 won't get the job done either.
I wasn't guna just grateful for the advice |

On the subject.
Anyone know of the cheapest name brand monitor that will support at least 1600 x 1200?

You might be best off with an old CRT screen, as many of them will support 1600x1200 (and better), although you might need a bigger desk and maybe an extension to fit the buggers in the room. I think you're talking substantial money (maybe £250+) for an LCD that does 1600x1200 or better. |

There was a thread on here about a really nice set-up with one 24" monitor, flanked by two 21" in portrait mode (so they are the same height as the 24"). Now that would be balla.

I'm toying with the idea of 9 x 19" monitors and having a different table taking up the whole of each monitor.
With wee lightbulbs round the rim of each monitor that light up when it's your turn to act on that table.

How much would something like that set you back? |

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.

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. |
