Re: Computer Monitor Question?

I picked up a 22" Acer @ MicroCenter here recently. Was the best price after factoring in shipping costs on different websites. Being that I am about 20 min's away from one made it an easy decision.

Re: Computer Monitor Question?

If you need extra desktop space it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to buy a new monitor. I'm currently evaluation multiple virtual desktops. Imo there is no big difference if you either turn your head or push a hotkey and switch to another workspace. For multi instrument/divergence trading this might be less than ideal, but there are ways to make this work as well.

... just a suggestion. The program I linked to is not the only one out there.

Hi 404,

This is the graphic card company that I use when I need to build computers that have 2 - 10 monitors. The prices are reasonable but well worth it.
