    Got a pair of them myself a couple of years now, and Loctek monitor arms. Never go back to flat.

    No black out issues of any kind ever.

  2. lol I know its trivial that's why I posted it on ET's hardware forum.

    Anyway, I got the monitor but now I can't seem to get it to receive a signal from my Macbook Air using a USB C to USB C cable. Should be plug and play. Maybe it's the cable I don't know.

    The irony of this is that, IIRC, it was Apple who came up with the USB spec in the first place so you could daisy-chain devices together. I remember the original Mac, where you plugged the KB into desktop, then mouse into keyboard. Multiple devices, one port! Wheee!

  6. Agree. I suggest traders try out a 43" UHD TV as monitor if they have the space. I have one and it's my favorite over my 5x, 27" UHD monitors.

    Bonus... 43" TV costs < than half that of a 43" monitor.

  7. A 43" monitor is Absurd. 5 27" monitors sounds even Crazier.

    I trade and watch movies and do everything on just a 13" notebook. Even when I had my 21" or 23" monitor....that felt really, really, large and overbearing to stare at and use.

    Tastes and preferences can vary -- But I prefer basic, practical, minimal, simplicity -- in all areas of my life.

  8. My 43" TV as monitor is in my game room which I view from across the room... 15' or so and operate the computer with wireless keyboard and mouse.

    3 of the 27" are in a portrait array for charts in my primary trading space. The resolution is 6480x3820. More pixels, more chart data displayed.

    I like big charts, so sue me. (Besides, you don't see pictures of pro traders staring at a 13" notebook screen, now do you?) :)
