Thank you to everyone who replied. Posting this problem publicly helped me think through and work out the issues. I solved the need to invert the upper monitors by buying monitors with a narrow bezel. Not slanting any of the monitors completely resolves the other issue between monitors which are side by side. The new 178 degree visibility standard enables stacking monitors in a 2nd row without slanting them downward, without loss of picture quality. Although mine are only 2 rows high 3 rows would be ok, again without slanting. One reason I procrastinated was my mb only had one pci_e slot. VisionTek 900614 rocks with 6 outputs and only requires approximately 55watts. It does 2560x1440 nicely. I love my new monitors.
Congrats on the new set-up. How do charts look on those 27" Acer's? Thats a lot of resolution so I would think the fonts, etc are pretty small? I've been debating whether to upgrade from my 24" (1920 x 1200) to some 27's.... -Guru
I adjusted the font size where I needed larger text. Pricebars are closer together but it's not noticeable. Distance between bars is determined by the barspacing so it can be adjusted if it was needed. I use candles that are 3 pixels wide. At barspace=4 that allows 1 p between bars which is the minimum separate to keep them from running together. That's same bs I used at 1920 (on 4 old 27" monitors) so at 2560 there's 640 extra p per monitor. I calculated it initially and it's near 1/3rd more bars per chart. And I have 6 leds now instead of 4. What I like most is I have all my charts visible all the time now instead of hidden behind some other window like this browser. For the record, I'm not trading because I'm not profitable. If anyone deserves to be profitable I do. I have all the technical stuff lined up, but my own personal whatever such as allowing myself to coverup my charts with windows that shouldn't have been there ......it's that type of personal stuff I needed to deal with and I have. Now I just need to develop a nitch and write the code and then that will be done. I'm ok with it not being done because I know if anyone can I can, and I enjoy it so for instance if someone gave me a profitable strategy I would of course take it but that would mean I will miss out on the fun part, that I'm looking forward to. btw, anyone thinking my wide eyes will eventually be awoken (sp) or that I'm newb I can assure you there's very little I don't know. Not bragging or trying to be a snoob, just saying, I've worked at this a long time. The important HW info is charts at 2560 use smaller pixels but still maintain 1 p btween bars and that works perfect with that many p crammed into 27"
I have seen a lot of setups like you describe and all modern stacks for that should really allow something like that anyway. How does all that matter ? All should be fine, I am more than sure it will not reflect anything which needs to be done on that matter. No air flow problem here will arise.
