I disagree.
I was actually looking at & considering purchasing the DELL 43in. 4k flat monitor but after mocking up a piece of cardboard of same size & placing it on my desk, it's just way too big for poker (imo).
I think there's a sweet spot but I'm not sure what that is (32in. maybe... curved... or maybe 34-35in curved?)
I'm not sure if this thread relates to what monitor size is going to help me to win at the pokerzz. I was thinking it was geared more towards 'what size is optimal for viewing experience' while playing online poker. BUT at the same time, I think if we can use a display that is optimal for us, it could also relate to us winning more in the longrun (ie. I use 2x 24in monitors on a stand that allow me to have a decent view of them but even still, tables on the outer edge of my monitor are not in full view for me and I can miss a good deal of the action on them). Perhaps just 1x 32in. screen, with a 24in. mounted vertically to the side (or one on each side) to display poker site lobby(s) and maybe our list of MTT's we're entering for the day, etc.It is not the monitor that wins at poker, it is the brain. You can't change the size or the power of that.
I was checking out a guy using 2x 27in yesterday. It looked pretty good.
I'm wondering though, wouldn't 2x 32in be a bit too much screen space ??
I'm looking to make a purchase for my Christmas present this year and the more research I'm doing, the more complicated it is getting. A week ago I was absolutely sure I was getting a Dell 34in. Ultrasharp curved screen... a couple days later it was the 38in... then considered the 43in. flat screen (24in. screens mounted vertically on either side fit nicely) it was back to the 34in. no matter what!!! lol And now I'm pretty sure that I'm not even going to opt for the Dell ultrasharps and instead am looking at the BenQ32 or BenQ35... sigh

I really don't understand why you need better monitor to play poker, but if you like to play poker and do something else and you have only laptop i can suggest you to buy 2x 24/27 ips monitors and hanging arm to them (something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable...907284?hash=item445bfa5014:g:RiwAAOSwU0Be1v41). It will be really convenient to you to play poker on one monitor and do something else on the other ones and you will be able to move monitors like you want to. I almost forgot you probably won't be able to connect two monitors to laptop, but you can do it using hdmi adapter (but remember you have to connect it to usb 3.0 to have quality like on the monitor connected directly to laptop hdmi) or you can use docker.

I have a 3 monitor setup. Nothing special, just used monitors. Monitors are more than 7 yrs old.
I am using:
Two 23 inch
One 24 inch.
I like how it works for me. Especially for gaming too. For free, I can't complain either.
Eventually I plan to upgrade my PC, just not sure when yet.
I also thought about purchasing another Alienware, but I keep thinking of building one instead.
Have fun shopping around for a some nice monitors, or one 49 inch curved monitor would do great.
That's what I have my eye's on lolHappy Hunting!

I have two 27" 2560 x 1440 HP Pavilion 27q's side by side. I have had them a few years and I am very happy with them but I may get a DEll or Samsung 49" Ultrawide which is pretty much like having two 27" monitors side by side without the split in the middle.

Playing on my humble 24" LG monitor, of course alt tabbing if i get to play more than 1 tournament at a time. Can't afford a second one since we live in a country where the government likes to apply multiple taxes to imported products (especially techonolgic ones) and they end up being not affordable for the average population.

I have a Samsung 32" tv. How can I get 4 sng tables to fit onto it? Can't really handle a larger number.

For my part, I have a Toshiba with the screen without image which I use by connecting it to a television, but when there are power failures it is sad because the regulator to which they are connected does its job and it takes a few minutes to turn on the devices, imagine when I'm on crucial plays and that happens.
