Personally, I think unsing Multiple Monitors on your computer is one of the biggest advantages you can have as a Trader. Since you asked for discussion, I thought I would submit a post that helps someone get started with using multiple monitors! The Three main ways to Setup Multiple Monitors 1) You can buy a pre-manufactured multiple monitor computer. The best place to purchase a multiple monitor computer is at: multi-monitors.com They carry a multi-monitor computer line called SUPER PC that can support from 2 to 12 monitors (or more if you ask). Multiple Monitor Computers: multi-monitors.com Multiple Monitor Displays: multi-monitors.com 2) You can get a USB to VGA Adapter, or USB to DVI Adapter that will allow you to add an extra monitor to your computer via any USB2.0 Port. You can also add multiple extra monitors by using multiple adapters. This is a great option for viewing documents, surfing the web, using Microsoft Office and many other business tasks. This is not a good option for intense graphical situations such as HDTV, Blu-ray, Gaming and 3D / CAD Workstation applications. For those types of scenarios, it is highly recommended that you purchase a high-powered multi-monitor workstation or a Matrox Dual or Triple Head2Go. Multiple Monitor Adapters: multi-monitors.com 3) You can replace or add an extra video card to your existing computer, depending on how many monitors you wish to support. Although this sounds easy enough, this is a rather complex solution for a beginner, especially when trying to find a compatible graphics card. For this reason, I am going to write an entirely seperate post on that topic and will link to it here, very soon. Multiple Monitor Graphics Cards: multi-monitors.com Once you have your multiple monitor system set up and ready to use, you will need to enable all of your monitors in your “Display Properties” Control Panel. Here is a great link to a complete and animated walkthrough of how to enable your multiple monitors in Windows.
