Reworked monitor set-up
I had to rework my tri-monitor set-up due to the fact that head movement was indeed a nightmare and I wasn't even using the 3rd one for poker. It was subtely annoying so I disconnected it yesterday all ready to package and sell on ebay as superfluous. However, I thought of the above set-up a few hours ago and it works great. The top monitor is a couple of inches behind the other two and is held in place and tilted with wires that you can't see; it is quite stable. In fact I had it set-up so it was perfectly in line with the two below but this is for some reason actually worse than being placed a little further back.
And with windows display handling, the mouse cursor only goes to the top monitor if you go into it via the top right hand side of the left hand monitor or the top left hand side of the bottom right hand monitor which is super =)
Btw, these monitors look quite small in the photo, I don't know why this is but they are in fact much bigger(21.3") in real life which is why the other set-up didn't work at all for me.

looks great. hpw much did you pay for them? sry if u posted before but i don't remember you doing so.
They look like Viewsonic's VP201,
probably about 450 USD right now, maybe slightly more expensive when he bought them.
Very cool, Tiller, so what exactyl do you need 3 for? ;)
They look pretty big to me haha
Uh. Where can you get a VP201b for $450 (seriously I'd quite like to know)? I know someone who bought 2 for $600 a piece.
Tiller's monitor is a VP211b that costs around $1000. Quite a high premium for that extra inch.
Yes they are VP211B Viewsonics.
So which monitor do you use when youre playing a game like war3?
Do the other monitors annoy you then?
he is playing 6-8 Tables POker at the 2 monitors and games at the third at the same time:)
600 sounds right
I got a VP201s for $450 CAD at Best Buy, they had a deal
don't think colour is a price difference o_O
I notice Tiller has an extra button next to the minimize in his windows. Anyone know what program that is?
How did you get your taskbar across the bottom 2 monitors? Also, how do you spread your windows across the taskbar(s). I see you have 4 PS windows on your left taskbar, and the 4 on your right monitor on your right taskbar. How is this done??
I use a program called Ultramon to spread the taskbar across multiple monitors, search in google for it. The extra button on the windows is also from Ultramon and when you click it it will switch the window to another monitor.
he tiller what do you think of the Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP?
Dell has a new offer running its 547 € with tax
I have a Dell 2001fp and I think its great. Tiller, what is holding up the 3rd monitor?
ultramon rox
till what u think of aoe3?
Tiller which one of these monitors do you have/show in the picture?

One is $4,000 the other is around $1,000. I think you have the one that says 4 screen. Am I correct in assuming that the $1,000 monitor cannot show 4 poker tables on one screen as seen in your picture?

how did you do this? I cant find it...
I wanna see ur DH one more time :) Get back to w3 comunity, pls :)
I love you Iain Girdwood

Nice screen setup you got there. Hey Tiller, whats your World of warcraft character name/server and what do u think of it?
I'm hooked on the damn thing.
hey tiller, is the next episode of the WSOP released on the internet already? :)
Its very clear he uses Viewsonic to win at poker. You cant win at poker unless you have at least 2 of them. Also for Wc3 he uses 3 monitors to play special "3D" mode thus gaining advantage over opponents. So get saving now...
