Amazing technology! Earlier, software depended on hardware. Now, we can make the hardware behave as per the software. A full circle, wow..
I use a 3x3 setup; 8-24" LCDs /w room for one more. I found that the "ergo" type stands were too flimsy to support 3 high so I built a free-standing bilboard and used wall-mounts for each monitor.
top monitors don't bother your neck ? well... trading from a big leather lazy boy recliner is the way to go...thats chillin
My office chair kept cutting off the circulation in my legs and became very uncomfortable after a few hrs. The recliner has wooden arms where I can operate my mouse from, and the top monitors display my higher time-frames, which only require a glance. As a day-trader, most of my time is spent analyzing the lower time-frames. Yes, it's all very comfortable. I can read or watch TV and just wait for my alerts to signal.
Comfort is everything when seated at a desk. I know the feeling of an office chair that gets uncomfortable after a few hours. I take breaks from sitting and get up and do squats and lunges at my desk just to keep the blood circulating. I am going to bring in a stability ball to switch on and off from the chair. Had one years ago and gave it away, now I wished I had kept it. Time to purchase another and keep the back happy.
Thanks for info on stands was thinking of extending with a collar - maybe now will look at wall mounted as 3rd level will be 'daily' alerts rather than the tape. I think LT I will gravitate to the lazyboy and wall setup now that screens are big enough for my shortsight. I will note the need for a flat wooden maouse pad on the chair arm! Same style it seems - crocodile trading - sit back and wait for the market to come to you.
