Screen resolution help

Hey all,

I'm getting a new laptop to play poker on - it's a 17.3" screen with a resolution of 1600*900 - will this be enough to be able to fit four screens on without overlap?  I know places like stars have the size adjustment options but it annoys me when the cards and tables are really squished.  Plus if I play on other sites that dont have options like that (not sure if sportsbetonline does or not) then I still want to be able to fit four on

Many thanks for the help

In the control panel there should be option to change the screen resolution to whatever suits u best.

1600x900 should definitely do 4 tables fine. My 15" laptop with 1366x768 does it well enough.

I know how to change my screen resolution on my laptop - I was just wanting to know if my max resolution would fit 4 tables in on some pokersites.  Thanks for the help all

Well I can fit 4 tables on a netbook, I just have to squint to see what I have.

Depends on how comfortable you are and how good your vision is. But 4 tables on the dimensions you've laid out should be just fine.

I have a 24" screen running 1600 by 900   I can fit 12  screens from poker stars

i think 1600 x 900 would be wrong for a 17 inch screen

What dio you mean by "wrong"?  I used to have a sony vaio 17" laptop that ran 1600*1200 which worked great - you're just looking at £1800 for a laptop with that quality screen which i cant afford at the mo, I can get a laptop with 1600*900 for £500 which is much more my budget

1600 x 1200 would sound better to me for a 17 inch screen  
my 24 inch screen is 1600 by 900   in  a wide screen format  but if it correct that is fine just didnt sound correct to me
