Does anyone here use 2 monitors with 27/28 or 32' with 3840x2160 side by side? Because that would seem like the ideal setup especially if you want to play like 16 tables total at least without overlap and most importantly table size is good idea and not small?

Can someone tell me what is the size of each stars table when you tile 6 or 8/9 tables on their 27'/28' 4k monitor?


Currently im still using my two 24' 1920x1200 monitors and instead of having 4 tables on each monitor tiled and at regular size... i tried to tile 6 tables on each monitor. I noticed that the tables are a bit small but not that bad even with my hem2 hud. But on 888poker and party, its a havok on the screen.



On the 4k monitor, when you have 6 stars table and tile them, are they still the regular default stars size table or is it a bit smaller? How do i check what size my stars tables are when i 6 table them on each monitor? I want to compare the size because to me... the default stars table size is the best because its big. I know some ppl say they dont like that but when you have a hud, it blocks so much of a table when having 6 of them on a monitor. Anyone who plays 12+ tables, is the optimal setup 6 tables on each monitor? I know some ppl are different but previously i always had 4 tables on each monitor and if i have more than 8 tables playing, well it is going to be behind one of those 8 tables etc. But then i wanted to be able to see more action such as 12 tables total instead of 8... but i noticed the tables are smaller and blocks so many things on the table.

PaulyJames200x,

Your questions were answered in this post here:

Hi I took a look at that. On starscaption, i have the tables with width of 822 and 595 as the height. Thus with those dimensions, you can 4 table tile no overlap on a 24' monitor with 1920x1200 resolution.



When I tile 6 tables on my monitor without overlap... shows the width of 660 and 483 as the height. So you could get 12 tables on 2 monitors side by side... but the table is smaller and well the hud... it blocks lot of things because of smaller table size. Is that the width/height most people have on stars tables when they 6 table on one monitor? I could of course open 8 or 9 tables on my 24' 1920x1200 monitor, but that is ridiculous because tables are way too small. I find 6 table on one monitor is the absolute most before it gets way too small. And again, i always preferred regular sized stars tables.



Now with a 27 or 28' monitor with 3840x2140 resolution... I'm confused on how much full size stars tables you can put on the monitor tiled where it stays at the default stars table size. I thought its 6. Is that correct? Now what if the monitor is 32' as oppose to 27' or 28' for the 4k monitor... does that make a difference in how big the table is?



I saw a youtube video where someone shows their monitor setup and says its a 32' 4k monitor and he seems to have 12 tables opened. But those tables are not the 822x595 sizing like on stars right? What is the current default size of a stars table now? Heard it was 800x600? Is that still accurate?



I also saw another video on youtube where someone shows they have a 27' or 28' 4k monitor and talks about 12 tabling on it. But when you look at the table size on their monitor... the tables are definitely not 800x600 dimension right? Now if someone is using a 42' 4k monitor... would that mean they could get 12 full size stars tables default size? Yes i know... i like the default big tables and i know most people don't like it.



In the response you quoted, it is said 800x570 table on 23' monitor look real world size as 440x313 on 42' screen. How did they come up with this calculation? The thing is when you make table smaller, the bigger issue is if you hud fit correctly. Because when I tiled it 6 tables, i notice my HUD blocked a lot of things including other things i have on my screen.

Someone on another site mentioned that in my example, you could fit 12 stars tables on a 3840x2160 resolution monitor assuming the tables are 800x570 dimensions.


Now im not sure if they mean this on a 27'/28' or 32' or is that the same regardless?


The big issue issue though is it seems you have to fix your entire hud layout when you put that many tables on one monitor?

Okay so I don't know about you all but when I tile 6 tables on my 24' 1920x1200 monitors.... the stars/888/party tables just seems a bit too small. I mean doing it this way, i can get 12 tables shown on 2 monitors but does anyone here find it small and hard to look at? When I first tiled 6 tables on the monitor... i thought great... i can have an extra 2 tables on each monitor now... so instead of 8... i have 12 showing.


But what i notice was when im down to less than 10 tables, i just resize them back to my default of 4 tables on each monitor. For some reason, i just have a tough time playing with the tables smaller size. So no one else feels this way? Now when i watch youtube of those twitch streamers... sure they show 1 big table on the screen but also are playing many tables. I think most of those streamers seem to only have 4 table max on each monitor... did anyone notice that? I mean i could imagine 6 tables on a bigger monitor... but i really dont know how ppl can tile 6 tables or more on a 24' monitor with 1920x1200 resolution. Its way hard to read in my opinion. I mean i could read the hud still but its much tougher to look at.


I dont know how ppl even 20 table tile on these monitors when you barely could see the numbers.

you could have tried, and returned, every option you've had by now

Or get a decent monitor with better resolution instead of moaning about your crappy one and making a few hundred posts about it.

Hi. Was this a 40' monitor or a tv? Yea makes sense when you say one large monitor is better for your neck. I didn't really think about that.

Okay I think I feel foolish now and did not read one of the posts fozzy71 read where he said he regretted not using a 43' 4k tv as a monitor sooner.



But would it be fine to use a 40'-43' tv as your monitor then when playing lot of tables? Do people even do this? The price for those monitors seem to be very good as well.
Because in videos i see online, seems like most ppl who play lot of tables always seem to have 27'/28 or 32' monitors and have 2 of them and rarely if ever I see a big 40'+. Is there a reason for that? I recently took a look at a 43' 4k tv in person and when I saw it, it definitely looks like you could fit 12 standard stars tables on it easily or even a bit more. But 43' would be the absolute biggest size monitor you want right and nothing bigger? I saw the 50' and 55'... and those look like you could fit 16 tables standard easily ... well on the 55'.


But aren't using tvs as monitors bad for the eyes though? I read about that a while back.


When i saw that 43' 4k monitor, it seems like it would be better to use than say 2 27/28' 4k monitors if you put 6 tables on each and the 43' you put 12?


I'm confused why people dont seem to do this since the cost would be much cheaper?

this is the long troll

Yes.
Some people do. However, the pixels on TV monitors are much bigger than the pixels on computer monitors, and you'll get a much better experience sitting up close to a computer monitor than sitting up close to a TV.
TV screens are different to computer monitors.
I'm not aware of any evidence of that.

I have been using a cheap chinese 40" 4k tv as my main monitor for more than a year now and perfectly happy with it for the money. just get an IPS or VA panel, not TN. was sub 200$ and it fits 20 stars tables big enough as to see bets/stack sizes, doesn't hurt my eyes, colors are fine.

left one is 24" for comparison

https://ibb.co/4F2dJHZ

only problem is you need to connect it via HDMI 2.0, which means your graphics card has to support that.

Hey, well im surprised that some people use tv as a monitor because in all the setups online i see in the computer tech/monitor thread, literally everyone posted monitors... i dont recall tv used as a monitor.

io, i took a look at that. First off, it does look like a good size table and im surprised you could put 20 tables where you could see bet and stack sizes. But what about using a hud and hud stats though? Have you tried that and if so... is it still readable?


I saw something like this where im located


https://www.amazon.com.mx/Samsung-Cl...9597839&sr=8-1


Basically around $410 or so USD... yes that is more than double what you paid for you 40' 4k cheap tv. Electronics here are much more expensive. Would you recommend the monitor above? I see there is also a 50' as well for not that much more... but that probably would be way too big for a monitor?


When I was looking at this 43' 4k tv up close, it looked like I could put 12 tables full size easily. But if you say your 40' could put 20 tables... well if i put 20 tables on this monitor... obviously the tables would be a bit bigger on the 43' vs your 40'. But would the hem2 hud stats look similar to like how i have it with my 24' 1920 x 1200 monitors now? I mean if i could put 20 tables on a 43' that would be great because if i could, i wouldn't need to use another monitor and thus would be looking at one screen only.


But for my 24' 1920x1200 monitors now, even when i tile 6 tables on each monitor... its just a bit too small for me. Im surprised because ppl say how they have a 24' 1080p monitor and say they 9 table on it. If they do, they going to have overlap because they don't have that 1200 vertical. For me, I can't have tables too small and especially overlapping.

I have hdmi and thunderbolt 3/usb-c on my dell xps 15 9550. At the moment i use hdmi to hdmi on one monitor... the other monitor i use the usb-c to hdmi on my 2nd monitor.


This is like what I have... the 2nd cable usb-c to hdmi


https://www.amazon.com/Thunderbolt-C...4-3e7a9c0027d0



Is this what you mean by hdmi 2.0? So if i get that samsung 43' 4k monitor... do i need to buy another wire? I have hdmi to hdmi cable and the usb-c to hdmi cable at the moment which i use for connecting 2 monitors.

Also, im shocked... that the laptop on your left is 24' and the tv in the middle is 40'? I would have guessed that monitor was 20' and the one in the middle was 27'28 or 32'. I know you took the picture from a distance, but that tv doesn't look that big. Im guessing it must be your desk?

sadly, no

the port coming out of your laptop has to be version 2.0 and it seems this is not the case, I briefly checked
4k will work via the old hdmi 1.4 protocol, but instead of a "normal" refresh rate of 60Hz, you get half that. don't even try it, everything including mouse movements is laggy, guaranteed headaches and eye soreness

4k monitors ,on the other hand, will have multiple connectivity options, like display port or usb-c, which your laptop does have. more expensive to buy a monitor than a tv but oh well.. these can carry a 4k 60hz signal no problem

the 40" is roughly 2.5 times more physical screen real estate than the 24"
4k is 4 times the amount of pixels compared to 1080p
so naturally you can fit more stuff on your screen

if you have good eye sight you can see hud info too, as long as it's not super cluttered and if you either reduce the number of tables and scale them more so they're larger or you get more than 40", you can see any hud just fine

don't get a 4k tv tho unless it specifically says it has display port, like I said, your laptop cannot power it properly via hdmi

Okay so what year did laptops start having hdmi 2.0 and up? I got this laptop in late 2016 though this laptop was definitely out earlier. I mean i would still consider this laptop to be well modern?



So if i buy the samsung 43' 4k tv... can i buy a cable/adapter with my hdmi 1.4 to make it 2.0? So any 4k monitor i buy now whether tv or laptop will have the mouse movement and all those issues if i use the current cables i have?



Yea i know the 4k you can fit more on the screen. But i just meant looking at that picture, even though you took it from a distance, it looked pretty small for a 40' tv... like it looked like a 32' if i had to guess.



Well with my current setup with 2 24' and 1920x1200... and having 4 tables on each monitor... tables are default size and big enough to read the hud. The moment i tiled 6 tables on each monitor... its much harder to read the hud and the betting display and everything is just much smaller where i don't feel comfortable using it.


From looking at that samsung 43' 4k monitor I saw up close, I could tell 12 tables would easily work where its big enough table wise and hud wise. I think i might be able to do 16 tables as well. 20 tables... I think it would be a bit hard to see the hud stats etc.


I just checked on amazon. So I would absolutely need to buy a thunderbolt 3 dock if I decide to get a 4k tv/monitor?

Wait, so I would need to a buy a thunderbolt 3 dock which seem to be pretty expensive when checking on amazon or would i just need a 4k hdmi cable which is obviously a much more reasonable price?


I would need something like this cable if i want to use it on a 4k tv/monitor without lagging/mouse movement issues?


https://www.amazon.com/Speed-Cable-i...44&sr=8-3&th=1




When i check thunderbolt 3 dock... those seem to cost 100-250 dollars each.

if that dock says hdmi 2.0, then I guess you're good to go. if it's not specified, it's prob the old 1.4a or b. and yes, you would also need a higher quality cable that can move data faster. the one you linked seems fine.

idk if all newer laptops support the better hdmi protocol, it's not even an issue with hardware specs because 2.0 is not hard to power, they just choose not to add it because it's a bit more expensive and saving a couple of bucks is a thing when you manufacture hundreds of thousands of units. here's a list I found with a quick google search, it's prob not complete or updated regularly https://www.gentechpc.com/Laptops-wi...tput-s/155.htm

if you can do it via dock and you already own it or it's not expensive, should go that route. can find these used/refurb on ebay.
or with a 4k monitor, those have display ports. the advantage of the tv is that you get 40"+ for the same price as a 27" monitor.

I see them cables that are 20 dollars and less and are usb-c to hdmi adapter and say 4k... so that would work right on amazon? Well dock seem very expensive... i just want a basic cable.


Yea i know advantage of tv is you get a big one for same price as a 27' monitor... thats why i am considering it.

it was brought to my attention that these adaptors existed
https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-QGeeM...NsaWNrPXRydWU=
this should let you power a 4k tv properly via the thunderbolt port on your laptop

Hi guys,
What do you think about 49" curved monitors? Are they overpriced? Anyone her using those? For example this
