Right, for years I've been making do with a 1280 x 1024 TFT monitor complete with a muckle CRT next to it. However, we've just done the house up so the CRT has to go!
I play a lot of online poker and hope to go full-time in the next year or so. More poker sites are allowing re-sizing of tables but traditionally you need a resolution of 1600x1200 to achieve 4 tables per monitor with no overlap and so I'd planned to get rid of my existing set up and replace it with two identical ~20" TFT monitors of that resolution. Unfortunately, the world seems to have gone bloody widescreen daft and now the vast majority of monitors in that range are 1680x1050. In other words they have excess space in the horizontal but less in the vertical. There is a far more limited market for 4:3 (1600x1200) monitors now than a few years ago.
For the poker players out there has anyone got pics of 4 full size tables on a 1680x1050 monitor so I can gauge the level of overlap. For everyone else can you recommend me 1600x1200 monitors please. I'd prefer to keep the money tight if I can so I have no issue buying last years models to save money as they will still be better than my 3 year old 19" Neovo TFT.
I'd prefer to spend less than £500 delivered to my door if I can
