I am looking at getting a 2nd monitor for poker and streaming.
I have a 23" BenQ gaming monitor as my main right now. What shoudl I be looking for in a 2nd monitor? I see lots of monitors int he 23-27" range from new egg fro 100-$150. Should i be looking for certain features in particular? Do I care more about certain features than others because this is being used for poker and streaming?

Thanks in advance.

the streaming aspect is irrelevant. the poker aspect might be, as you're basically just wanting real estate to mass hudbot tables

Huds are currently illegal in my area. So just 4 to 8 tables + streaming/interacting with the chat. So are u saying look for highest resolution in my budget? Response time is only pertinent to gaming to my knowledge.

If you're only playing 4-8 tables, then those should fit on your current monitor, and you can use the other for OBS/chat/porn etc, pretty much anything will do

I can do about 6 with minimal overlapping right now...
10 table cash limit on the site... no limit in tourneys/sngs
so usually i play every plo8 cash game there is, and as many sngs that run.

So any 23-27" will do u r saying... new egg always has monitors for like 100-150 i think thatwill fit that bill. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips, looks like 1440p is the way to go.

I need a new desk as well... any features/sizes or anything else i should be concerned with?

Superwide?

Friend has one for multitabling tiled, helps with tables visually!

Something like this

i have a gaming monitor, ill be using this one for poker and twitch streaming... most tables ever run at a time is like 8 (10 table cap anyway). I don t need this monitor to have low response time that is for gaming, that much i know.
