the crt on the left is soon to be replaced by another 19" lcd. i'm not planning on keeping a quietly-buzzing cathode ray emitter that can only use analog i use it for my real-time scanning during the day. you have some good attention to detail... the mirror on the left is to reflect sunlight during the day and lighten the area behind the monitors, for eye comfort.
oh, the vga extension / gender conversion really does degrade quality... its even more obvious when i go to bestbuy and see the array of monitors EXTREMELY fuzzy... the difference u see in the lower left of the monitor might be due to interference... if u have a phone or speaker next to it, the magnetic field might distort it[?] ...
read slow, don't skip otherwise you will miss it , remember to turn down your speaker tho http://tradersparadise.blogspot.com/2005/10/steve-matroxanother-one-of-guru.html
That reminds me, here's a pic of the trading station in my Winter house: <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=913795> J/K of course.
I'm actually somewhat suprised to see the plasma screen as a centerpiece, wouldn't it make a great deal more sense to have a nice big LCD instead?
