hello,

I have seen a very nice Monitor that has 1920x1200 pixels. It has good reviews from what I have seen and I can get at a good price.

My question is Can I fit 9 pokerstars tables onto this Monitor at the same time?

Thanks

Yes, in fact you can fit 12.

According to my highly unscientific experiment of screenshotting a pokerstars table at the smallest it will go, it is approximately 480 x 360 pixels.

1920/480 = 4
1200/360 = 3.333

So without overlap you can fit 12.

Which monitor is it and for how much? I'm thinking of doing something similar in the not too distant future.

Make sure your video card can support 1920 x 1200 - that is effectively HD video. A 22 or 24 inch widescreen monitor works best at that res. I had to buy a new laptop to run the 24" at 1920 x 1200 - otherwise it only went 1600 x 1200.

Thanks Guys. your help is much appreciated.

I had not considered the impact to the Laptop. I now need to investigate this.

here is the monitor I am interested in Zachvac. Samsung SM245B 24" Its £295 on Amazon and I can use my Pokerstars FPP to buy it.
