Your poker machine could be giving you this much working space*:
If you jumped on this deal:
Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1″ Digital LCD $487 at Dell Home
20.1″ Flat Panel, ± 88° H/V Viewing, Analog + DVI + S-Video + Composite
4-Port USB Hub, 400:1 Contrast, 250 cd/m2 Bright, 1600×1200 Native
This is about $20 cheaper than what I paid three weeks ago, but I think I more than made for the difference in price in multi-table profitability.

*The left half, by the way, is my notebook screen. Obviously if you’ve got a one monitor setup on your desktop, you won’t get the extra space on the side.
Stop!
I did jump on it. Almost did it for $507 earlier, but figured I’d wait until the 24″ one got released. Unfortunately, tax and the California
“environmental fee” bumped the total price up to $532, but it was well worth it. I’ve got my old 21″ CRT sitting next to it, so I’ve got a nice 3200×1200 of screen space.

The 2001fp is a sweet monitor.
Sweet!
The way I see it, other bloggers have gotten the blogosphere to start playing the Hammer, start playing O8, start playing at Full Tilt… my goal is to get everyone to start playing on a big ass monitor. It’s an uphill battle, but one I’m willing to take on.
