To view more data you would need a higher resolution on the monitor. I assume your 29" monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080, which is the most popular format today. You would need to have the monitor supporting resolution 2560 x 1440 or 2560 x 1600.

Apple makes a 27-inch monitor with resolution 2560 x 1440:

Dell make s a 30-inch monitor with resolution 2560 x 1600:

and also a 27-inch with 2560 x 1440:

Note that these monitors are much more expensive than most popular models. (upward of $1000 each)

Yes that is the idea. Let's compare 1920 x 1080 to 2560 x 1440.

2560 has 640 more vertical lines. About 33% more.

So if currently your chart shows 100 days of data on a 1920 x 1080 monitor. On the 2560 x 1440 monitor it should roughly display 133 days on the same chart.

The higher vertical resolution (1440 versus 1080) would let you display more indicators, or a higher magnification of the price scale.
