Screen Set-up Help?

PADDYPOKER

Have a Philips 17" TFT monitor and was trying to play 4 games on Pokerstars on the one monitor. I tried changing all the settings so that I could have them in each of the 4 corners but without luck.
My settings in control panel are (Windows XP)
1152 x 864
840 (think) x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 768
1280 x 1024

Anybody tell me is it possible or will I have to be content with overlaps?
Thought I'd ask on here as I assume people have had the same problem.

Not possible I believe on one monitor. PartyPoker now though has resizeable tables where it is easily possible to do this.

There is a thing on Mac computers called Exposé, it shrinks all the open windows and shows them on one screen... it looks like http://i.iinfo.cz/urs/expose-111945134269717.jpg

A quick search and i found something called iEx, which is the same thing for windows, you could search for "exposé for windows" and see if you find any more. It's really handy for loads of poker screens open, and you could have as many as you want, not just 4.

You need 1600x1200 resolution for 4 screens without overlap (or in primas case with just a tiny weeny bit of overlap). That's a 20" monitor.

Just buy a graphics card that supports the higher resolution.

I'm not sure how it works exactly but I think there's a max resolution that you can have with any monitor (based on the number of pixels in the monitor). My graphics card supports 1600x1200 but if I set my laptop screen to that it scrolls the bit it can't display. Anything smaller will work fine.

The 20" DELL LCD Flat Panel 20" monitor was the first to support 1200*1600 Resolution and at one point the only monitor you could use to do this.

My Acer AL2021 supports it and it's not a widescreen monitor like the one you linked to (just a normal 20" afaik).

My mate has a dell XPS laptop and that has a 19" screen that can easily 4-table. Six could be squeezed
