  1. Recon if you have to turn your head, it's too many.

    To lean back a little & see them all is perfection in my world

    Those 14 monitors are going to feel like overkill once you graduate to trading forex from the beach on your ipad same as the rest of us on ET.


    On a serious note who makes the pole stands high enough for 3 monitors? I recognise the bases as the same as my Tyke Supply stands but have never seen tall enough for monitors 3 high

    Are that 22.5´´ LG Flatron, 16:10, 1680x1050 screens?
    I use 3 off them and one lg flatron 4:3 in my setup for a total of 4 screens. On my wish list is a quad monitor stand.
    Great screens.
    Very cheap from ebay!
    I have bought 3 of my screens new and one of them second hand (60 euro). I´am looking for another one to substitute my 4:3 screen.
    This screens are normally barley used, it was a screen that was launched for pc gaming use so most of the time this screens where sitting in ´´off´´ mode on the home desk.

    I think that 14 screens is just too much. It is over kill. 4-6 screens is the perfect spot.

    With that much screens you will miss most off the good opportunities, your brain cannot work and evaluate that much information at once. Just think it like in a circus where you have lights and bulbs all flashing just too distract you so you will not see how some tricks are made.

    most of them are 23" 1920x1080 screens, and a few are 21.5" 1920x1080 also.

    I don't know if it will be distracting, but it was cheap so I did it. :p

    I´m mostly wondering that you have only one keyboard & mouse visible.. do you have just one central unit (PC) or several PC´s with switch to one keyboard&mouse?

    They look nicer with charts on them. Had to get FirePro 2460's, in addition to my Radeon with a Displayport hub to run them.

    Sorry but are you really trading!
    You have 14 monitors, 12 of them showing the same chart and another chart on the other 2!
    You have no desk space, etc..

    If you are a beginner just keep it with 2 monitors, one market and then when all is going well just upgrade to 4 or 6 monitor and ad contracts and markets.
