I got a 24 inch dell and it has no overlap for 12 tables. I figured no overlap would be great. The problem I ran into was since it has no overlap. The tables dont pop up or out as much. So I have a harder time seeing which table needs action. Where as if you have a slight amount of overlap the tables pop up and out and over the other ones making it easier to see. Wondering if others have that problem with no overlap. I think im going to adjust the res to 1600 ish.

Depending on what sites you play on, you can download some AHK scripts..and I'm pretty sure one of them will auto-move the mouse to whichever table needs your attention. Of if you need to, leave yourself a bit of an overlap.

You might want to look into table highlighters (AHK scripts) that will draw colored boxes or outlines around the table that needs your attention. (Software forum)

I have the same monitor (2 in fact) it's something you can get used to by pre -checking any boxes that show your cards. Find interest in good situations and check off on the ways that are bad spots.

I also play 1900x1200 for native res and it's a very good spot for 9 tables at good visual.

I'm on windows XP but what I simply do is change to classice theme and then in advanced options you can change the colours of inactive and active windows.

Change active windows title and border to something like red that standsout and change inactive windows to a dull colour like grey.... this works for me, without the need for any scripts...

interesting...never thought of that problem though I was tiling 12 on a 17" last night and was thinking to myself it's good how they pop up.....so I guess I have thought about it.

Add more tables?
