with some laptops (I used to do this before buying a desktop) you can close the top on the laptop and then use two external monitors.  Might be an option for some people.  Worse case, get a cheap 28" monitor to attach to your laptop and then you have your laptop screen for lobby, chat, etc and the big screen for tables.

Here is a cheap monitor i found about a year ago.

I read the article on computer setup which is helpful but I still thought I'd post this topic. For people that multitable what is your monitor setup in terms of size and resolution?

I'm thinking to eventually multitable starting at 4 tables and probably never exceed 8. I have a laptop currently and the screen is definitely not big enough for multitabling.
