thanks for the info. So in your opinion one of the lower power consumption cards would be ok for the 43 inch monitor. I am not interested in gaming at all .

Yes it will work.
Just remember to check your PCI version on motherboard

I don't think i would like 4K trading. Your eyes would be getting tired too quickly

I was just in the Apple store yesterday and I saw this beautiful monitor:

LG UltraFine 5K Display - Apple

The images were unbelievably crisp. Nice, super bright, glossy monitor that I've been looking for, but it uses Thunderbolt 3.

Is there a way to run those on a PC? Someone knows? Any limitations? I did some quick search for Thunderbolt 3 graphics card, but couldn't find any good info.

I have a 28" 4K monitor. I think it's too small for text.
32" at 2560x1440 is okay.
40" for 4K or greater
5K around 50"+
8K 60"+

With picture and video is another case with high resolution.

I beg to disagree, I use LG Digital Cinema 31" monitors (4096 x 2160), you can always adjust the fonts. I like the LG but it runs hot and the colors look washed out because of the matte screen.
I'm looking for nice 'retina type' and glossy displays. Again, a personal preference. I still love my old 1080p HP monitor that is glossy. I found that with the brightness of modern monitors, glossy reflections are not as bad, and the sharpness of the images are great.

Thunderbolt was planned to come to PC as well.

Check the thunderbolttechnology blog for what motherboards support it or peripherals.

I think a card like this will work for you, costs around $60. : https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard-Accessory/ThunderboltEX-3/

With the caveats that I merely googled around a bit, and as others have said it may or may not be good for trading.

I'd check with Apple to see if they support such a configuration, or at least what their return policy is!

@bob7123

I saw that, not sure if that would work. You would still need a graphics card, no? I think that's just like a USB (a pipe for data in/out).

Will wait until I see someone trying this.

Just some more research and I think they are not ready for prime time...

People are finding some issues with this display:

Maybe by the end of the year we will have more options... will stick with my monitors for now...
