Quote from Bolimomo:
Take it from me... You can never, ever, have too many monitors!
(Evil laugh)...
For 27-inch monitors... I think without adding resolution (like 2560 x 1600)... a little too coarse when looking at the images close-up. If you use them as a TV, you would typically sit 3 to 4 feet back. But as computer monitor, where you sit 1-2 feet away...
I left a computer store earlier, and put several different 1920x1080 27" monitors in port mode, pulled up freestockcharts.com, and looked at the differences. I could do what I need to do at home with what newegg sells for $299 with a 4-5 egg rating.
And, LOL great minds think alike I guess when it comes to multi monitors.

Yes, having eight 24"s at the office on two quad Ergotrons is nice. BUT, I have to literally roll my chair over to end monitors (on the right if that matters lol) at times which is a pain in the ass, but not something I have to do all day so no worries.

Since I was able to buy four Quad Ergotron stands at a DEEP discount with the Firm offering to pay for a large portion of my office setup with nsa, I coulldn't turn that down. My home system I funded myself, but the two quad Ergotrons I got really cheap, and thought like a dumba** that I needed to buy eight monitors to mount on the high quality stands I basically have nothing in.
It really all gets down to the FACT that trading is a minus sum game. What does that mean? Most think trading is a zero sum same game. Someone wins, the other side of the trade loses. FAR from the truth! EVERYONE loses, but one side has gains... Exchange fees, slippage, your discount broker comissions, software, computers, high speed connection plus the backup, etc., I could go on...
Guess my Saturday afternoon commentary gets down to the idea that if you can spend less money on your hardware, and do what you need to do while making gains, you are a step ahead in the minus sum business of trading for a living...
