My buddy suggested that...two monitors, but I thought it might make me lose track of one screen(I don't want to know if I have ADD). So, I devised another solution. I borrowed a 21" Sony trinitron Multiscan 300sf monitor from my buddy(which he wasn't using...lucky me!) and bought a graphics card(Nvidia GEForce FX 5500...online for about $50), and now I can adjust my screen when I want to play 3 or four tables w/o any overlap. The monitor I am using is a CRV, not a plasma or flatscreen, or the price for this method would definitely skyrocket. But, it only cost me $50 and, even though I am complete cheapass, it was a good deal to me!
You can find 21" CRV monitors online now for maybe $100 or less. Six months ago I saw some for $70-90...
