    4 screens how to fit new ones

    Wasn't referring to you. Referring to setup of 2x2 monitors, which unless the user has one pair of monitors directly in front of him, putting the other pair to the side, means his neutral line of sight is between the two pairs of screens.

    4 screens how to fit new ones

    I don't know, but I see a lot of curved monitors for sale relative to the number of similarly sized flat monitors. If his neutral line of sight is between the monitors, my condolences to his neck. And since the upper row isn't angled down, that's further stress on his neck or his eyes. But if...

    4 screens how to fit new ones

    Judging by the number of curved monitors I see on sale on CL and FB, I think some do go back. Also, I would speculate that curved monitors don't work well in portrait mode. Curved monitors could also be a bit tricky in multiple monitor setups where you have 2 rows of monitors, since you'd...

    Using Nvidia NVS450 need to Upgrade

    Do you know of 'prosumer' or workstation class prebuilts that use motherboards with 2 x16 slots, but use Intel Core processors? Asking because for my next PC I want 2 x16 slots for graphics cards to drive my 6 monitors, but it seems you get way more single thread performance for the buck from...

    Any reason why my monitors would cycle off and on again out of nowhere?

    OP, @Scataphagos is correct about this. When running 4 or more monitors, DisplayPort is the practical solution. And as others have noted, DP can be finicky about waking from either PC sleep or monitor sleep (with PC running). But a lot depends on your setup. I used to run multiple monitors...

    Thoughts/feedback on parts/cost of new custom build workstation

    How do Xeon processors compare to Intel's Core series? For example, I see a T5810 on ebay with the Xeon E5-1620 - which level and gen is this comparable to in the Core series? Looks like Xeon in general isn't great for single threaded apps. Do you have to use ECC memory with Xeon processors and...

    What do the tech savvy recommend for component parts of a new PC build or pre-built?

    Yes, you have 2 x 8GB. Doesn't need to be same manufacturer, but probably* should be same specs such as frequency. But if the same mfr, same brand is about the same price as everything else, then might as well go for that. *Someone more knowledgeable than me can let us know how closely specs...

    What do the tech savvy recommend for component parts of a new PC build or pre-built?

    Motherboards are designed for one type of RAM. Since your existing mobo uses DDR3, you'll have to stick with that. Upside is DDR3 should be cheap, downside is you won't be able to move it over to your next PC. Given what you're noticing, upgrade from 16gb to 32gb of RAM and see if that tides...

    What do the tech savvy recommend for component parts of a new PC build or pre-built?

    Nevermind. I misread. If you use 2 x NVS 510 (or similar), you can run all monitors off those cards and not need onboard graphics and avoid stability issues using onboard and discrete graphics together can cause. So if the prebuilt or custom PC's motherboard has a x16 slot and a x16 slot wired...

    What do the tech savvy recommend for component parts of a new PC build or pre-built?

    How are you connecting all those video cards to the motherboard? On newer systems, you'll find there are fewer PCIe x16 slots, usually only 1 on a prebuilt. Maybe you'll get a second x16 slot that is wired as x4 (good enough for a video card running monitors for trading). Fortunately, you won't...

    4k tv for chart watching in home gym

    Micro PCs are a good idea for this application. Besides, I just checked my old laptop's discrete graphics specs - it cannot do 4k, so I need to upgrade the PC anyway.

    4k tv for chart watching in home gym

    I'm considering getting a 4k TV for my home gym so I can try to get some workouts in during lunchtime and still watch most of the charts I watch at my desk. Thinking 4k TV only because they are a lot cheaper than 4k monitors. How do you connect to those? Most laptops I've owned in the last...

    Anyone using a 4K Monitor to trade without using Font Magnification?

    Thanks! I used the particular app's settings so I could selectively increase fonts only on my 4k monitor, and not on the 2k and 1k monitors.

    Anyone using a 4K Monitor to trade without using Font Magnification?

    Can you describe exactly how you are increasing font size? I have a 4k 27" monitor that I use in portrait mode for charts. I use Windows 10 Display settings to change "Scale and layout" to 125%. This makes everything larger, not just the fonts, so I do lose some screen real estate. I'd love to...

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    Yeah, saw that on CNBC. Apparently had surgery yesterday for pinched nerve. Still in hospital, but he sounds like his amped up self.

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    Cramer still hasn't tweeted since 1/26. He's not coming back today if he's not tweeting by 8:30am.

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    She said "but does plan to return as soon as possible". This is definitely an unscheduled absence. And they don't know when he's returning.

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    He also gets very little sleep. Also concerning were the extraordinary precautions he took related to covid. He's been living apart from his wife since last March due to covid. Not sure if they are living together now. But that seemed very strange.

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    This was an unplanned absence by Cramer, and CNBC isn't saying when he'll be back. He still hasn't tweeted which is very unusual for him. I wouldn't rule out medical emergency.
