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

Large screens are counter productive. There are too many issues with ergonomics and workflow/task-switching efficiency. We have been at this problem for decades.

Just say no to 4K/large monitor threads. People at ET make me want to kill and kill again.

There is no such thing as having too many pixels, virtual desktops or memory. Only prob is how to organize it and find swr to use it.

You can make your charts bigger. I like big charts for index futures.

My charting display is 6480x3840. It's about the same size as a 50" TV.

I have a similar setup composed of 2 rows of 4 monitors. Am thinking of an eventual upgrade, mainly to remove the gaps between mons. Currently use 1920x1280s. What do you suggest; what’s on your wish list?

I don't think you can remove the gaps between monitors. You can put monitors next to each other with their bezels touching and after a short time you won't notice them any more.

I use 27" UHD monitors (3840x2160). The text is very small but you can usually adjust the fonts until large enough to read comfortably. I presume you'll want to use monitors in portrait mode. For that and to be able to butt the edges together, you'll want to be sure the base is narrower than the height of the monitor. If not, you won't be able to get the monitors as close together as you'd like.

Thank you for the reply and info. Hoping for significantly higher resolutions later.

I have that with my simple little 2-monitor set-up, and the exterior bezels are invisible. The monitor hardware is overlapped a bit, and I see no interruption in the desktop.

Your eyes really do adapt to it, because you are not focused on the external monitor, but the screen display itself.

It is seamless to me, no worries.

For the OP, David Donner? It is time to write up your wish-list for X-Mas! It's almost August!

Not in for 4k. I have just booked an 8k one. I don’t want to magnify anything.

LOL! You say you don't want to "magnify anything", but you're going to need a magnifying glass (maybe even a microscope) to be able to read 8k text.
