Gets better. * I find 30" simply too large. 20" makes a nie curve in front of me. * I like having more SCREENS. Windows window management (full size, smaller size, windows 7 auto sizing etc.) works around physical screens. Having more of those makes organizing the windows a tad easier Plus, as you said - the cost. One pays more for what I think is a lot less in utility.
well worth a day's pay: http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/29892/overview/syncmaster_305t_black_30.html after all, you'll be staring at this thing for many years to come ps narrow bezel allows for 3 or 4 side by side
Always look at newegg.com first when shopping for cpu stuff. Also Bing has a 6% cash back from newegg. I also like tigerdirect/compusa. Be wary of those i-inc monitors, I would not trust them...dead pixels etc. the i-7 920 should be all you need for 5 years. just make sure you have enough watts and cooling for the 1 or 2 graphics cards you will probably get.
You can can't you, maybe even bigger. Call up your local basket ball stadium and ask them where to buy one of the massive screens they have in the middle
the resolution isn't there. i want a screen sooo big i can see an entire month of unbroken 1 min prices/support/resistance
Yeah, but who cares? Seriously. I mean, I love them - for TV. I could see a 50" LCD somewhere in a conference room. Or the wall behind my trading desk. But... for trading I want something that I can overview with my eyes. My sweetspot is around 20". 24" MAY work. Anything larger - sorry.
One ET'er trades like he's on the Starship Enterprise... NC-1701D. Captains chair (favorite cold adult beverage in hand, no doubt) 8 feet away from 2, 42" LCDs. Big TVs would be OK for trading so long as viewed from far enough away.
Or call up Sony on their JumboTron products... such as the one used in Time Square above the Nasdaq headquarter... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Times_Square_Good_Morning_America_New_York_City_Flickr_Tjeerd.jpg
