Pictures of your trading stations

Quote from usedtowork:

This is precisely the setup I would use if I were to build a trading desktop, albeit with 30" 2560x1600 monitors. I've tried over-under setups before but I like having my current positions and watchlist *directly* in front of my face , which is smack in the middle of the bezels in such a setup, so a portrait setup is perfect.

Unfortunately I like the mobility of my MacBook Pro a bit too much, and the quality of internet service from my regular haunts around the world is getting better and better all the time, so it's not likely to happen. If it ever does though maybe I'll go balls out on a 32 megapixel ZenView rig!

(Sorry I didn't include any pics of my setup but I'm sure you can envision a laptop with a BlackBerry on a stand beside it.)

Good post. I've always liked the 3 vertical big screens. But, my Dell screen manual, if I remember correctly, warns of image degradation in the vertical position. And the image was unsatisfactory when I tried it.

Now, I discover I can flip the image to vertical via an Nvidia setting. The image still seems to be degraded although less than my previous attempts with the vertical. Can anyone comment on a way to go vertical and retain the image at the highest quality? Is it possible?
 
With a digital input like DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort, there should be zero degradation of image when you rotate to portrait mode, assuming you've set the computer to run display the screen in its native portrait resolution (e.g. 1200x1920 for a 1920x1200 widescreen monitor on its side).
 
The image degradation may be because of the difference between the horizontal and vertical viewing angles of the panel. Particularly for the cheaper TN panels, the vertical viewing angle is much lower than the horizontal. Which usually isn't a problem in normal usage when your viewing angle usually varies more in the horizontal direction than the vertical (assuming you're sitting down).

However, when you rotate the panel the inferior vertical viewing angle is now the horizontal viewing angle and the picture won't be as clear except when you're viewing it straight on. The solution is to use more expensive panels with better viewing angles, such as IPS panels.

My trading desk: left is 19 inch LCD, right is 19 CRT. My rubiks cube is on top of it. (I had it long before Will Smith's movie, lol)

Been a long time since I've seen wood like that on a wall.
 
If you make money it's all good, I could not look at those screens all day.

You realize new no name LCD's are under $150 for a 20"?

Yeah, but I don't stare that CRT all day, my trading platform is hiding behind all those charts on different window workplace. Anyway, that picture didn't show my printer and UPS on another desk.
