Tri Monitors



When my old monitor broke I ordered a new one straight away to avoid the 4-6 week for warranty replacement. The broken one was replaced just yesterday and I although I had planned on just re-selling it on ebay I decided to set it up and check it out anyway. I have two 7800 GTX in SLI so I had the extra DVI input anyway, it was a little bit fiddly with some trial and error in display panel but I got it all working relatively quickly.

Only problem I have is I don't need tri-monitors at all because I will never play more than 6 tables at once. However, if you are a lower limit player it might be a cool investment if you think you are capable of playin 12 tables at the same time. I advise you to get smaller screens though as mine are 21.3" and head movement required is a little too severe for 12 tabling. I think it would work well for 17" and 19" set-ups though! I'll just stick to watching a movie on one or something =)

I used to 3-monitor 20 tables on NL100 and I got burnout real quick.

Nowadays I discovered that playing 1 monitor is so much better (less headache), so I bought the 24-inch DELL LCD monitor. I assume it will fit 6 tables with minimal overlap.

Btw, nice setup amir.. what's the limit you're playing on those tables?

wow, nice setups there guys :) Isn't it hard to keep track of 8-16 tables at a time?

To me it just seems impossible..

Thanks r3v, mostly I play $15/30 limit, at least 10 tables, but I constantly find myself interested and curious about playing NL :)
