So I plan on selling my 19" CRT because it takes up too much space and I don't play mmorpgs anymore.. and want to invest in a 21" flat panel monitor. I would loooove to get duals, but that is above my price range atm.
To those who have good flat panels, any good recomendations? I really don't want to pay much more than around $500. I hear Dell has really good monitors, but the lower the price, the more Hero would be interested.
Anyone have any links/suggestions/recoemmendations? THANKS. |

Trickflow wins, thread over.
Yes, the 2001fp is the "default" poker player monitor, best bang for buck and runs @ 1600x1200 which is necessary for 4 tables with zero over lap.

Those are 2001FPs on his desk except the one on the far right which looks like a 2005sp (widescreen) |

dance dance-
i got a new dell system w/ dual dell 20" lcds and really like them. it really helped my pokering quite a bit to get two 1600x1200 lcds, well worth the investment. to give you an idea, i found this deal before i ordered, which is now expired, but you should be able to find it for around that price i'll bet (under $400 shipped):
http://dealnews.com/deals/Dell-Ultra-Sharp-2001-FP-20-LCD-Monitor-for-371-shipped/116995.html
others also like the samsung 20" as well. i think gabe has samsung lcds.
but if your main point of buying them is to multitable, which it should be, the quality of the monitor doesn't matter nearly as much as the native resolution. unless you care about the crappy animation that some avatars have on some poker sites. the site i play at has minimal animation which i could care less about anyway. fuck that crap. |

| Okay, preparing myself for a snarky response here...but if I were to get the Dell 2001fp, would I need to get anything extra to run it w/ my laptop? It's a Compaq Evo from a few years ago that seems to max out at 1024/768--would I also need a new video card to run that monitor? |

Ya the reason is purely for multi tabling/conserving space. I bought this CRT and new machine last year because I was hard into online video games. I don't really care about crisp graphics anymore. My number one priority is low price. I don't want to be buying some generic pos that comes with dead pixels though. Just want the one that's the best bang for my buck.
Also another question, you say you have duals.. that is out of my price range right now, but if I bought one of these Dells right now, could I buy another one later to dual link them? Do you have to purchase certain types to do this, or just buy two and get a cable/vid card that supports it? Hope you can understand my nub questions. |

you need a video card that can support running dual monitors, so it has to have at least 2 output channels. i have a mid range radeon card, and it has 3: S-video, DVI and standard VGA. i hookup one monitor to the DVI and the other to the VGA. just make sure you have 2 outputs on the card and that the card supports 1600x1200 and you'll be fine. |

| why can't the effin poker rooms just make scalable/resizable table window sizes anyway. they have to know that more people would play more tables more often. why is it so important to them that the empty chairs at the tables stay the same size. i don't get it, i can't think of how they benefit from maintaining a minimum window size of 800x600. a few sites do miniview options, but it's much harder to infer a sense of position so they're a bit harder to play for some. |

Isn't PokerStars working on this? In their test software you can make the tables as small or large as you want. |

I should be fine then.. I have a rockin' vid card from when I was a gaming nerd. |

the 20" that came w/ my system is the 2007fp. it's maybe slightly better than the 2001fp but then again, i haven't really calibrated display customization yet. meh. |
