Hello everybody. It's been a while! :) I am contemplating to get an inexpensive 39-inch 4k monitor for trading during the day and other things at night. I can pick one up for less than $400 now. http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-Inch-Ultra/dp/B00DOPGO2G Does anyone know of an...

The old days - disk partitioning as a way for: - Putting multiple operating systems (e.g. unix and Windows) on different partitions, same physical disk (or different versions of an OS)... a way of multiple OS boots on the same hardware. - Put quotas on disk usage per group in a company, makes...

Eye sore / eye strain may not be the result of monitor technologies. If they are not, changing out the monitors would not resolve your issue. Some common poor practice that likely stress your eyes (thus your brain): #) Exposed to bright background for prolonged period. A lot of the...

Save yourself from the risk of carpal tunnel. Convert to trackballs. (No longer mouse)... I haven't had wrist pain for over 6+ years.

I echo that. Don't have a false sense of security. You think plugging your router/modem to a UPS and your internet connectivity can stay uninterrupted. It depends on how the electronic signals are transmitted from the ISP's office to you. Say the street power to your residence block is...

Yeah. That's a great advice. I do have a mix of PNY 8400 GS versus EVGA 8400 GS on the same box. They worked together okay. The driver is provided by NVidia just the same. I also have cards PNY 8500GT and PNY 8400 GS side by side. They worked together okay. (But they are within the...

I agree there... if one has a choice, go with DVI or HDMI. It can only be better than VGA. :)

I am glad that you got that that configuration. I think it depends on the motherboard - computer manufacturer. For many that I purchased, even though the motherboard supports dual monitors (Intel HD graphics chip onboard the MoBo)... as soon as I plug in an external video card in one of the...

Each video card needs the driver software from the manufacturer (e.g. Nvidia). Windows OS will go through the driver to manage the monitor position and display images across screens. No a problem.

Hi Tonkadad: DVI is digital, and is supposed to have a better quality video image. All my 8400 GS cards have 1 VGA out and 1 DVI out. I use DVI cables whenever I can (provided that the monitor has a DVI in, and the DVI cable is long enough). The rest, VGA (either from the VGA port out...

Thanks for the link, TJ. That's educational. I knew from doing it that I would need a longer VGA cable (male to male) without going through an extension cable. Just didn't think some vendors will plug the 4 "unused" holes on the VGA specs. :eek:

Well... I remember I bought my Apple II+ computer in college in the early 80's and it was over $2000, in 80's money. Today you can get an iphone for under $100, thousand times faster, a million times higher capacity, etc..

Dear monitor and video experts: I can't quite figure this out... From my 8400 GS video card (SVGA out) to my Samsung 23" SyncMaster monitor, using the vendor-provided 4' SVGA cable... no problem. Windows 7 recognized the monitor, plugged in the right driver, resolution 2048x1152 (the...

Do you have 2 available PCIe X16 slots? Is there any reason you lean towards 1 card 4 monitors? This subject has been debated over and over again. For me: get 2 EVGA 8400 GS cards. $33 each, bought new. They are inexpensive. And they work. It's been 3 to 4 years and I have not...

Don't back out now.... :) "high top notch" and "cheap" don't go well together. :) You don't walk into a Ferrari and say you want to find a cheap Volkswagen.

Sorry I have made a mistake on the information upthread. The mother board is actually: MSI X79A-GD45 Plus This is the one with the LGA 2011 socket for i7 4930K...

I guess you haven't tried some custom indicators on platforms like TradeStation and done any backtesting with optimization? Good for you. Try... say, apply the Squeeze indicator (based on Bollinger Bands), crank up the period to say 60 or 80, apply it to a 10-tick chart on AAPL, and say...

I recently have a CPU/motherboard upgrade. I wanted a faster CPU with more memory. Here is a partial build-list (just the major components): i7 4930K processor MSI Z87-G45 motherboard RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Patriot Viper DDR3 1866MHz PS: Antec, 700W I think Chasis: Antec 300 This process has...

3200x1800 resolution on a 15.6" screen? Gotta be kidding. Can't see that fine a resolution = money wasted. Especially with charting. And with order status and price quote... text too small = easy to misplace orders. (Did you have 120 shares or 428 shares partial filled?) I use a laptop...
