Anyone Using 30" Monitors?

Anyone using 30" monitors?

I am using 24" and thinking of upgrading.

Do you find them too large?

or, the bigger the better?

Hi Tams

I'm using 24 inch too and have also considered going to a bigger size. I think its really a matter of the resolution you are going to use. There is an issue of both the monitor resolution capability and your graphics card resolution capability.

I've got a few 22" monitors here and they are good. I was thinking of going bigger as well, but have been told there could be graphic card issues and might be easier/better to add another monitor if need be.

I think it will depend on the graphics cards you have and whether they can handle it or not.

Macbook pro with 17" screen here. Gave up on the Cape Canaveral setup ages ago. I'd be interested how many instruments people follow with the extra real estate?

For me its not the extra real estate. Its just i'm getting closer to oldfarthood and bigger is definitely better for me.

Since I revamped my studio, so far 22 are doing a good job... I still think that having bigger size would probably represent a fisical problem to stack them and not getting a neck pain eventually... cheers the chimp.

was thinking the same thing --- I am in slow upgrade cycle --- toss out worst/smallest monitor and replace it with bigger one that is good value.

here is a 28" monitor for $349.99

So many possible markets to watch BF. Guess it depends on the user. Personally, I am usually watching:
3 bond markets
3 indexes
3 currencies
oil

and maybe a few misc contracts. Is it overkill? Sure. At the least, I need my 3 bond markets and while could be manageable on 1 screen, I really prefer at least 2 screens, if not 3.

I currently use a 30" monitor for my charting platform and three 19" monitors for order execution and some other charts. I really like the clean look of the 30" monitor which has no bezel in the middle of it like a multiple monitor setup and that I can stack decent-sized charts one on top of the other. I also like the high resolution, but this could be a negative for some people because the text is quite small.

The 30" monitor provides a native resolution of 2560x1600. But if you already have two 24" monitors, I wouldn't upgrade to 30" monitor because two 24" monitors provides more screen real estate and I couldn't really justify the expense. However, at some point, I will consider replacing my three 19" monitors with another 30" monitor.
