Anyone Using 30" Monitors?

Recommended Posts

Hi Tams

 

I'm using 24 inch too and have also considered going to a bigger size. I think its really a matter of the resolution you are going to use. There is an issue of both the monitor resolution capability and your graphics card resolution capability.

I've got a few 22" monitors here and they are good. I was thinking of going bigger as well, but have been told there could be graphic card issues and might be easier/better to add another monitor if need be.

 

I think it will depend on the graphics cards you have and whether they can handle it or not.

Since I revamped my studio, so far 22 are doing a good job... I still think that having bigger size would probably represent a fisical problem to stack them and not getting a neck pain eventually... cheers the chimp.

Macbook pro with 17" screen here. Gave up on the Cape Canaveral setup ages ago. I'd be interested how many instruments people follow with the extra real estate?

 

So many possible markets to watch BF. Guess it depends on the user. Personally, I am usually watching:

3 bond markets

3 indexes

3 currencies

oil

 

and maybe a few misc contracts. Is it overkill? Sure. At the least, I need my 3 bond markets and while could be manageable on 1 screen, I really prefer at least 2 screens, if not 3.

I currently use a 30" monitor for my charting platform and three 19" monitors for order execution and some other charts. I really like the clean look of the 30" monitor which has no bezel in the middle of it like a multiple monitor setup and that I can stack decent-sized charts one on top of the other. I also like the high resolution, but this could be a negative for some people because the text is quite small.

 

The 30" monitor provides a native resolution of 2560x1600. But if you already have two 24" monitors, I wouldn't upgrade to 30" monitor because two 24" monitors provides more screen real estate and I couldn't really justify the expense. However, at some point, I will consider replacing my three 19" monitors with another 30" monitor.

There are lots of variables if you are trading hourly bars or even dailies (not that I do) it's not so much trouble to 'flip'. I bought a new desktop setup about I dunno 6 months ago....as yet no trading software just games <blush>.

personally, not sure what people are talking about when talk about resolution etc... we are not doing PC gaming here, just charts --- I have never had a problem with any monitor I have ever had -- perhaps that is luck but I have also never bought a high-end monitor. what a waste of money to stay on cutting-edge.....

If you are into high definition charting...

i.e. charts with lots of indicators, trendlines, arrows, stars, circles, text reminders, etc.,

then a higher resolution monitor helps.

Otherwise any monitor would do.

I do all this stuff and can see it all perfectly with a DVI connection and cheap but powerful monitors that I upgrade every few years --- generally buying one new monitor a year and kicking the bottom one out of the rotation...

 

just got back from Best Buy and really liked this Gateway --

I pretty much take the stance that when it's time to upgrade, I upgrade everything - computer and monitors. When it's time, everything is done at once. I guess I just prefer to have all of it done at once and then not have to worry about it for awhile.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
