[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5637801, member: 52734"] I tried to use a 19" LCD monitor for our game a couple years back, but there were several issues that made me stop. First was heat; I had built a display box to protect the monitor, but it also made it run hot as there was nowhere for the heat to go. Second, I nearly had a heart-attack when someone spilled their 32-ounce drink on the table. If I hadn't put it in a protective case, it would have been ruined. Third, the monitor had been set as a secondary display, so it was difficult to position (and scale) things. It would have been easier to manipulate if it was a mirror copy of my main display, but I also had init trackers, PDF of the module and other things up I didn't want the players to see. Also, I tried using my iPad as a game table for a Savage Worlds game once. If I wasn't also using the iPad as a rule book, it probably would have worked wondrously, though it was a little small. Still, for a group maneuvering through a dungeon by torchlight, it's just about the right size. [/QUOTE]
