Tv's just dont look right and i get eye problems from them although expensive TVs are likely better. Quality screens are a must if you in front of them 6-7 hours a day imo . Dont skimp in office if you spend 30% of the week in there . Quality screens and chairs are neccessities . Ive spent 20k on office hardware . Another handy hint if you have screens 2 high make the gap between bottom and top screen at exactly eye height , minimizes neck tilt from vertical as much as possible .
yeah thankfully I got a great desk ( sit/stand) and an extremely comfortable chair.. I think for me I'm going to have the bite the bullet and try something and hopefully be able to return it if I don't like it.
right now 2 screens are okay but it would really be nice to not have to switch between tabs

I also watch the NYSE Tick along with separate AD Line feeds.
Trading the YM, NQ, & ES
my monitor (laptop screen is) 13'.5"" width (15.25 diagonal) and distance to eye is
30" -so if 24:30 is a ratio (0.8) then at 30 Is should be good to go.
I have a standing workstation (bookshelf with box on top).

This is the room with my Battle Station. Hope you enjoy it. I have been renovating my office over the last year and I custom built my Battle Station (trading computer) last month when everything was on sale. Previously, I had Six 23”monitors and used an ASUS Gaming Laptop. Now, I LOVE THE DELL 49” Curve Monitors !!!! Each Dell 49”Curve Monitor replaces 3 of my previous monitors and got rid of A LOT of cords. Also, NO SPACES between charts and Awesome resolution. The Lower Dell 49" Curve monitor is my main screen so I that neck and eyes are in comfortable positions. I use the Razer Obweaver for Hotkeys and Macros for speedy execution so that I don’t have to take my hand off the mouse and reduces clicks for commands.
Volume / TPO profiles and Orderflow including Bookmap are the main tools I use for trading.

I am a Batman Fan and this is my “Bat Cave” so I bought a light that shines the “Bat Signal” on the ceiling automatically when it gets dark (smile).
Damn , that is one kick ass setup, all the bells and whistles with great attention to detail. Those monitors... where's the drool emoji LOL... very nice man. :thumb:
I am looking to build a new beast this year some time. I just have my heart set on RTX 2080 Ti but probably need to get over it.
As if 2300 cuda cores are not enough and I need 4000. I really do not.
Here is the Performance Monitoring Stats for my Custom Built Battlestation. I keep this displayed up at all times on the top Dell 49" monitor above the list of News events. This helps me to stay tuned to what's going on. I thought about getting better Graphics card, but the RTX2070 is sufficient. I use Bookmap and it is a Resource HOG so a Dedicated Graphics card is a MUST. Hope this helps.
