    Lightweight LCD display device as second monitor

    Here is my concept. It is not rocket science. All technologies exist. I have a dv8t 1100 laptop, 18.4 inch LCD screen, resolution 1920 x 1080, 9 lb, about $1000. So give me the LCD screen, and the video controller. Strip off everything else. Make the controller work with a USB...

    Lightweight LCD display device as second monitor

    Yes Lee. Thanks for your comment. I think I am spoiled by the HP dv8t 1100 laptop. It has a 18.4 inch screen, and a 1920 x 1080 resolution. A pleasant surprise. I have looked at the Samsang LD220G too. It seems that it is not that different from the Samsang 22" monitors that I already...

    Lightweight LCD display device as second monitor

    I am looking for some lightweight USB-port LCD display device as a second monitor to my laptop when I go on a trip. I have been bringing my regular 22" LCD monitors but they are a bit heavy (>10 lb). So far I have only found this: MMT Monitor2Go 15.4-inch USB secondary display...

    How much faster is an SSD vs. platter drive, really?

    Was she under your hypnosis when she said that? :D I have an Intel 40GB SSD on my desktop and I didn't observe much advantage for my application. I have been thinking of pulling it out and put it on my HP laptop, which as an extra drive bay. But because HP has their OEM Win7 Home Premium...

    Daily volume on ES for last Friday?

    ES (March 2011) for Friday was around 3.2 million per TradeStation, which was in line with the daily volume (around 1.5 to 2.5 mil). So far for Monday (Asian's day), or since Sunday 6pm EST the ES volume is about 106,000 per RealTick. Your "pre market" of 3mil may be actually Friday's.

    Thoughts on LED/LCD/Plasma/3D monitor technologies

    In the TV world, the LED monitors are graduately overtaking the LCD monitors. They are brighter for sure. Most with fluid refreshes. The slow pixel updates issue with the earlier LCD screens in motion pictures is gone. Looks like they are selling more LED computer monitors now. Do you...

    Quadro versus GeForce graphics card in trading

    ATI is AMD's brand. Quadro NVS is NVidia's chip. Two different chipsets. I would avoid mixing them. I am not saying it won't work. Just I would not attempt it.

    Need your help - Open position on statement

    Don't give up too easily. Most platforms create a log file. They may not tell you where but you should try to find it. The most likely place (from my experience with the platforms I used) is under C:\Programs\your_platforms_folder, under a "log" subfolder or something. See if you can pin...

    Quadro versus GeForce graphics card in trading

    From reading NVidia's website, learned that Quadro NVS graphics chips are designed for "professionals" and the GeForce chips are for gamers and home use (general purpose). Further found some comments like these: = = = = = A quadro card is used for graphics design and CAD processing. It...

    What service you use to connect to the Internet?

    Was there a typo here? 1.90 kbps, this is a very slow modem speed. About 2000 times slower than a DSL.

    applying for a mortgage as a pro trader

    Tell the loan officer that you can buy the house with cash if you need to... just that you would like to use the money as capital for trading, and would give him some business. :) I agree with upthread... that best is to qualify for the loan in conjunction with a second income (spouse)...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    I haven't seen such a dud after the FOMC meeting announcement. I used to see it causing S&P to jerk up and down at least 10 points in just a few minutes. I guess we are all numb to the "business as usual" announcement. We are going to keep interest rate unchanged. At zero.

    Fed Announcement is non-event now?

    Hopefully tomorrow will bring in some volatilities. We are at Double Top, ES 1294 or so. Hope to reject to go down, or break to surge up.
