Your Online Setup?

    Hey Guys,

    So what setup do you use for online play?

    I currently have dual 17" Monitors. If i'm playing cash i'll have probably 4/5 tables per screen. However if i'm playing medium to big tourneys i'll have 5 on the one screen and then browse the net on the other haha!

    Ive seen some sick setups online! Just be interested to know how many tables/screens u use? Whether u cram as many into the one screen as possible?

    Thanks

    Tom

    I've got one 30" monitor(no I'm not kidding :p) and one 20.1"(or something like that), both Dells. I can fit 6 tables from any site without overlap on the 30" one and can get 4 on the 20.1" one with a little overlap on some sites. I rarely play more than 6 at any one time though. I can manage it but I find it too mentally taxing. So normally just use the bigger screen for playing and the smaller one for browsing etc etc.

    Awesome! If u can get a pic up? wud be awesome! Yeah the overlap is annoying! Would love to see a pic! haha! u have over 50" of screen lol awesome!

    Mine isn't so great.

    It's 4 minitables on iPoker taking up my entire screen. It suits me at the moment anyway!

    I'm the same. Though I stick an extra 2 in the middle. The overlap sucks, I'll get a new monitor soon I think.

    I have a 15 inch laptop and thats it. It's a bit painful and I would invest in a super 3 screen type setup but literally nowhere to put it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭The Al Lad

    A
    2nd monitor is easy. just hook it up to the 2nd slot on your graphics card.
    for a 3rd or 4th you need a 2nd graphics card or 1 that supports more than 2 monitors

    The best setup I've come acrosss is the 17'' Apple MacBook Pro with the high resolution screen (1920x1200) - same desktop space as a 24'' screen / 12 ipoker minitables in clear view / Its quite mobile also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭tacker
