External VGA Video Card
Hi
I use the Matrox Triple head to go to add an additional three screens to my Apple Imac..really pleased with ..
(Can see any issued running a laptop from it..you could just use one additional screen, but have the room to add more as and when you need them)
Can post a picture of the setup if you need it...
Thanks
Peter

Hi guys. I'm still agonizing over which monitors/set-up to go for myself.
I'm currently working with two 4:3 19" monitors and i'm wondering what size monitors, and how many, is considered most useful for scalping and swinging.
Do most people go with larger widescreen ones these days (in portrait mode - good for the ladder?) or multiple 4:3's, or a mixture of both?
I really would like to get this sorted out the first time around! So any hints or tips from you guys about what works for you would be super. Ta!

Hi
Here's my setup...
I have a few VPS's and I can keep them all isolated by the Imac "Spaces" function.....using the Shift and up arrow quickly move between them...
I tend to have the display from the VPS's on a fairly basic setting (number of colours, I would rather have speed that sharp images..as I am convinced that it can slow the remote system down)
Thanks
Peter
(PS I really had to think about spending my money on this setup..but in the end decided I was ether in or out of trading.. I was lucky in one particular race last year and decided to invest it in my new setup)
In retrospect I am so glad that i did it. It made a big difference to my trading). If nothing else it just makes it much easier in my opinion. Thanks

Nice setup - one suggestion if I may.
Invest £6 in some cable tidy, makes the whole thing look that bit neater - or it might just me being a bit to0 much of a perfectionist lol

I like the look of the ergotron stand. I will try and get a picture and post done on my setup now I have completed it all.
Bet Angel - what happened to adding a technology section to the forum where we can discuss such things?

This is a good point, I was waiting for this to see your monitor stand setup you had previously placed on youtube. Will be upgrading a few things in a couple of months, would be handy to see what others are doing.andyfuller wrote: Bet Angel - what happened to adding a technology section to the forum where we can discuss such things?
