Second set of photos, these two show the devices to the left of my chair.
The laptop was not in use today, the HDMi res monitor above the laptop is displaying the ForexFactory calendar for the day, That monitor, plus the one at the top of the column in yesterday's photo, are both connected to the pc on the floor to my left. I like to use a separate pc from my trading machine for the audio and screen feed from the Sharp Edge live trading room. That pc audio is fed to an over-the-ear earpiece in my left ear, while the trading pc is usually running a GoToMeeting with two or three trading colleagues, with audio through a headset with mic.
The lower of the two monitors above the pc is a 32" 4K, dedicated to NQ charts, and the monitor above it is a 28" 4K, also showing NQ charts.
The room temperature can be seen in the second photo. Our condo in Florida is of course running AC, usually set to 78, but as you can see that doesn't prevent my trading room from reaching 82 degrees. The speaker below the temperature display is attached to a stereo receiver on my desk behind the central monitor.

This is a sit/stand desk. The room is whisper quiet because the computer and audio receiver are rack mounted in the data closet downstairs. Pulled 6x100 feet runs of fiber optic cable to connect the displays. Pulled several ethernet cables for remote IR, headphone jack for audio, and USB over ethernet for keyboard/mouse and other USB devices. Also ran speaker wire for the in ceiling speakers. So far no issues in a year with this setup, crossing my fingers it continues to work well
The wires are nice and tidy at the desk, and in the closet, well, they're not as tidy but I don't venture there more than I have to anyway
