Posted by blazingpf: lol i think theres no need for 2 monitors ? 1 monitor should be big enough to see.. unless it is 12inch or 14.. rather than 2 monitor why not get a tv with pc support input
hook mine up to the 61 inch tv..works great!
haha.. are you serious about that?
I've been thinking about using a second monitor, but after I stoped playing on over 20 tables at once, a few weeks ago, the plan just died.
I don't play to many tables right now ( 4 max), so multi monitors doesn't seem practical. If I move up to 8 tables or more, then I plan to hook up to my plasma.

I usually play 9 tables + watching poker lesson vids so dual moniter is great, laptop + main moniter. Useful since it stops everything being so cramped.

If you do more things then playing poker it could be usefull because it''s annoying sometimes when poker pop out. But in multi-tabling? When u have like 15 tables looking at other monitor... omg it won't good i think.
I have discovered that my ability to mulittabel is dependant on seeing nearly the whole tabel. Since I only use a lap-top I can max fit in 9 tabels on some sites, many I only can fit in 6 tabels.
So to have a splitt screen (as I have on my work) I thinkt I could multitabel more tables.
But since I mostly sit in my livingrom I don't think my wife woulde be happy if I installed a permanent screen there.
Mulittableing is great for clearing bonuses, but there are not room for any fancy play, must stick to ABC poker. So playing 6 tables should be enough for me.

4 me playing more then 4 tables isnt very good because u cant concentrate very well and u anyway loose and loose much more then u can win so i 2 times i try play with 2 monitors and 8 tables opened but 2 times i lose more then win so i decide 1 monitor 4 tables enough too get full concentration on playing and pot taking
Only one monitor here. Don't see a need for me to have to atm, but I think it would be kinda nice to be able to have one set up with tables and the other set up for the internet to do other stuff. I would prob just prefer a bigger monitor than two

I normally run 4 tables full size on my 24" and lobby on my laptop with resolution turned down to 800*600 so it's fullscreen for quick and easy table selection
Never thought it. But I thank you for your suggest; some months ago I had problems with my old laptop so I bought another one. I will try to connect them together and let you know

I dont play that much tables that would be usefull for me to have more than one monitor to play. Sometimes i have some dificulties arranging the best way to look at all the tables because of the format of some not resizeable windows from some rooms (Ex. Action Poker). When i play this and CollHand at the same time i have to open one or two at a time in order to watch it, cant have it opened at the same time.
