Hello,

So i wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience with 43`` monitors?

I have the options of 2 x 32 inch 2560x1440 which i had before and it was ok or 1 x 43 inch 3840x2160 which i never had but might be better and i think it provides enough space to comfortably grind say 14 tables?


I play 12-14 tables at same time on party.

Lol at playing more than 10 tables in 2018, and lol at thinking you need anywhere near that size a monitor for 14 tables, you can do that on a couple of 24's with no problem whatsoever. If you're playing from an adjacent country then you might need that big a screen, otherwise you don't, some of us had no issue playing a third of the tables you're suggesting on a monitor a tenth of the size

What's wrong with playing 10+ tables in 2018?

I was not asking advice about how many tables i should play.

I know you can play 18 tables on a 15 inch screen if you really want but maybe I prefer to have the tables at a larger size.

I was referring more to the difference between 2x30 inch and 1x40 inch monitor.

Curious if anybody made that change and care to share some opinions.

In general this is probably good advice, but some people might need a larger monitor to multitable, for example, if they have poor vision. Also, someone might want to have room for other things, such as a calculator, on the screen.

My vision without glasses is worse than 20/400, but I've done OK with glasses for 50 years. I have been making the tables big, especially for making sense of all of the HUD numbers on the screen. After doing that for several years, I just found out that I now need surgery on both eyes. My first surgery will be in 6 days and I was told that I will be amazed at how much I can see.

I had no idea that my vision was that bad, especially since I have never failed a vision test for driver's license renewal. My first surgery is six days from now. I don't know how this will affect my table sizing but it should be interesting.
