[ChuckTs]

Right-click desktop then Properites then Settings and use the slider if your not using your max res.

Try this vanquish

Edit: Sorry should say "To see your max res"

i have it dragged to the highest: 1280x800.

does this imply that no matter what kind of monitor i get for my laptop, that will always be its max resolution?

No, I have a few years old IBM and it can display at 1680*1050 through my 22". All newish laptops should be able to do the same.

Just a note, 22 inch monitors give you more bang for your $ than 24 inchers...

Expect to pay ~100$ more for the 24 inch ones. Or at least that's what I found the last time I was in the market for monitors.

Wouldn't the extra $100 be worth it for the extra resolution? Its not just the size that matters with monitors.

We're not talking about monitors anymore, are we...

They really kill you in the pocket book if you want those extra couple inches. I guess it all depends on how many tables you want to play at a time and if you're able to find out ahead of time how many fit on a certain monitor size and resolution. The extra couple inches for the price isn't worth it imo. Adding a second monitor is a more viable option.

i use a 24" and it tiles 6 and is still seasily readable, 9 starts to become a bit small. I suggest 30" or 24" and if youwnt 12+ tables the two of them.

I use two 22'' 1650x1080 monitors at work and one 24'' 1920x1200 monitor at home. I guess both configurations are about the same price, although you need a graphics card with dual outputs for the first 22'' solution.

It's pretty clear that you will fit in more tables on the two 22'', but your eyes will need to travel too much from one to the other and it will end up very tiring. I do prefer the 24'' solution.

Side note: I'm considering plugging in an old 17'' monitor next to the 24'' for pokertracker.

Then if you really want to be a pro, you need a 30'' 2560x1600 monitor. Dell has one for a meager $1200 right now. But you very likely also need to buy a new graphics card to handle it.

I use a Sony Bravia 40" HD TV monitor, big enuff for anything. Not sure of the resolution, but it is clean...

He he he. LCD, not plasma, full HD 1080d. Great for watching Rounders too.

I guess I can always just hook up my PC to my 42" LCD tv only about 4 feet away from the PC
