RE: heat, multiple displays Only if you use the CRT (hello) or LCD technologies. I advise to use the LEDs. e.g. Acer S211HL (21.5") monitors. Those critters are bright, light, and generate very little heat.
Hey easymon. Happy New Year to you too! And hello Scataphagos and all familiar faces. 29 total in a bullet shape around me. About 4 stacks high. (I started with 3 CRTs... those are long gone, of course)... Some 24", 23" and 22". I bought a 26" once. Immediately regretted and returned. The latest Acer 21.5" is good. I wish to find something smaller still but they don't seem to make them.
I hope you make a ton of money trading every market out there lol that is insane. I would probably focus on a few and completely forget the other 26
I kind of strategically place my charts and info windows where on the 2 sides (the 2 walls), those are background info only or stocks that I have an interest to keep an eye on. The active war zone (15 mons) are in front of me to the max of my peripheral vision. I tried the minimize the need for rotating my neck like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.
Size of screens and resolution are all functions of your eyesight, age, distance from screens, etc. Older with poor eyesight needs larger font = larger screen for the same amount of data. Younger people can have smaller, higher res monitors and I agree, it's faster if it's closer together.
