I've been considering doing a very similar setup - possibly with curved monitors - what kind of stand(s) did you decide on?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

I saw some traders used multiple monitors for trading and I never do this .So I am wondering why these people use multiple monitors. Anyone can share your experience on this ? What advantages ? How can we use multiple monitors for trading ?
Thanks.

I have many things running. They don't need constant eye balling, but they need to run and put them on my desktop that spans over 6 monitors. Once you get used to that, it's difficult to work on a smaller space.

For this case ,If we are travelling then we may face some problems when trading on a smaller screen e.g. laptop.

I don’t have any knowledge of computers and the configurations which are needed for buying/building a good “trading machine”. Could you share your specified configuration with us and the rough budget (without the price of the screens)? I am thinking of buying a new computer.
Thank you very much in advance.
