thx for the other links.. http://www.panoramtech.com/ looks cool too (thinking Quake deatchmatch here lol) a note, I've heard the flat panels have a shorter life /buggy compared to the crts.. anyone know about this? probably a good idea to make sure that $800-$3K+ monitor has at least a 3yr warranty etc.. I'll probably end up with a couple of the sony/viewsonic 18" viewable ones..
Wow!, I love the quad 18" setup on www.massedi.com Actually, 5 grand is not a bad price if they're good screens. I love how they mention that they're also for gaming. 5-10 grand screens for gaming! Those are some hardcore gamers Snake
Anyone who trades on Both TFT and CRT next to each other? Any problems with this set-up? Thinking about using 17" TFT next to 19" CRT...
Yeah, for PC it is the Silicon Graphics 1600sw. No longer being made, but ebay has them all the time (get one which is a factory refurb with warranty). Go to Ebay and enter '1600sw' in the search. The run around $1200 w/ (required) multilink adapter. For specs, see: http://www.sgi.com/products/legacy/displays.html So far, it is finest flat panel.
Thanks Eddie! As the 19" CRT monitor has about the same viewable size of the screen as a 17" TFT monitor, I assume they will look good next to each other, using the same chart program on both! If different sizes, I would think it would look strange. Question: Does anyone have a link for how to set up two monitors in the best, and, easiest way? Would appreciate it.
Thanks - looks nice - that's what I'm after... it would be much better to have 3 of these, than 6 regular monitors.. more streamlined.. do you (or anyone) have experience as an owner of one of these -- eg is the reliability, lifetime of the monitor, good ? appreciate the reference, I had not been aware of these likely a better alternative than the sony 18" type flat panel
Hi Bootsie- my 2 cents. . . Definitely the best Flat Panels on the market currently for a Daytrader would be either; Samsung 191T or the EIZO L685 http://www.samsungelectronics.com/monitor/lcd/191t.html http://www.eizo.com/products/lcd/index.html Either of these have the industries highest standard Contrast Ratios(500:1). However, perhaps even more beneficial and functional for a trader is the fact that these Panels are designed with a very thin bezel. When stacking them in a side-to-side or over-and-under configuration it gives the appearance of working on one contiguous trading screen. This cannot be beat in my opinion. If you get really serious about having the best possible viewable trading panel array and money is of NO concern then check out MASS Multiple Screen arrays. http://www.imaginegraphics.co.uk/products/mass/mass.htm Even when your're losing money your're having fun watching it!!! happy trading, momo
After something like 7 months I have nothing but praise. I have it mated to a Matrox G550 digital. My eyes have never seen a finer display. jf
