Hiya,
What do you think to add a monitor with bigger screen to laptop? is 27" is enough or I should look for bigger one? one big monitor is better than two medium size ones? What specification in monitor shall I consider?
Thnx
Look for a 43" UHDTV (3840 x 2160 Resolution), I use a 49" and it gives you serious screen real estate.
They work fantastic and are half the price of dedicated PC Monitors.

Hiya,
These screens are wirdescreen 16:9/16:10. I’m looking for standard size. I have lots of indicators and need a standard size monitor 4:3 or 5:4 sizes mainly. Most TV are widescreen so Its good but not perfect as I can’t see properly all of my 7+ indicators diagrams and trend line. Any idea?
Thnx
Yes correct, mine is 16:9, also your Graphics Adapter has to be at least 2g and 4K compatible.
You can run 2 Broker Platforms side by side on 1 screen, great for watching the price and Indicator variation.

Hiya
Maybe 32, 34, 40, 43 can be good, Also the are wide, but they have enough height. I think I can connect by HDMI as my laptop have it. I think 32 and 32 is cheapest ones as 43 inch monitor is expensive £800+. I’m not sure about 49-inch how can be useful for me, as being very big cause that I should look at it from distance, but I should keep looking at monitor of laptop as well. I think maybe 32 or 34 can be good. Any idea?
@Trendswithbenefits can you look at screen of monitor with laptop from same distance for both?
Thnx
Usually you would have the Monitor behind the Laptop with the Laptop screen folded out flat. I don’t use a Laptop at all. When I’m not trading, I’m not trading period.
I’m on another continent but my 49" (LG Panel 60hz) cost ~ £260, the 43" (LG Panel 60hz) is ~ £200.
My point is 4K UHDTV’s are half the price of Computer Monitors ie: Dell 43" same res. is £800+
I’m guessing you’re in Europe, see below both. £350
I can have 16 charts open with crystal Indicators, candles and platform details.
I run Bots on a system with 32" Philips Monitor which is only 1900 x 1080p and looks like crap when compared with the 4K.
I sit about 1500mm (got to get a bigger desk) from the 49 with charts set to dark default.
If FX trading doesn’t send you insane, the 49 screen light default will send you blind.

At the end of the day, several screens or even a large screen is a ‘nice to have’. It’s not going to increase the potential to become profitable.
A second hand basic laptop will perform just as well. It all comes down to how much disposable income you have and what you place more value on.

Hiya, I’m in UK, London.
Thnx
Hiya, i look at Curry’s shop today in London. There was only cheapest option as LG 4k 49" 2016model for £400 and other TVs was higher in price. I couldn’t find LG for 260 pounds as you mentioned also in 4K specifications.
Hi Campione, I’m on another continent, the UK appears more expensive for household electronics. Online in the UK, I couldn’t find a comparable 49" 4K. The link was to the 43" 4k’s which are both under £350. Similar price to 27"- 29" - 32" dedicated computer monitors and less than half price than you estimated initial £800.

Hiya,
Thnx for reply. But monitor is made to look from close distance but TV is harmful to look from close. So looking so close to TV LED may cause blindness in the time but monitor not do the same. There is LG with specifications below is £400: but I don’t know its health to look at close distance or not:

Try looking for brands like HiSense, Sonic or any other cheaper brand that uses either a Samsung or LG Panel technology. These maybe a cheaper option in the UK, poorer TV menu systems but still a great picture.
When your in the shop stand at a distance that you will view it at home, this will give you the best representation.
Looks the same spec as mine, just need to check it’s 60hz so you don’t get jittery mouse movement (30hz or less)
Just make sure you set your chart software to a black/dark background, white /coloured text etc. Your eyes will thank you.
UHDTV’s have so many features it will take a bit to get your profiles setup, I find with the LG Panel that the -soft- profile is best for web browsing and -user defined- for nice dark black charts with visible grids. Make sure you Computer Graphics card can push a 4K screen and always use a HDMI 2.0 cable for 4K. (The LG also has a VGA Port as standard). Set it up 1500mm (min) - 2500mm away. You will be surprised how sharp the image is. Makes price action much easier to define across a larger time frame on a lot more charts, Or your can research/educate on a browser one side and have trade software running on the other.
The main thing is value for money in screen real estate. And if you ever get out of trading the investment is not wasted you score an extra UHDTV. win win.

I’m looking for 43" now, I have find some 4K Monitor/TV with 4k @60Htz with HDMI, but I heard some had screen burn in/ image burn in, ghost image, image retention that people complained about. But does this affect with FX trading as well?

Is this for real? You do realise the size of ones screen has absolutely no correlation to your success rate?
Unless your visually impaired

Do you mean is the monitor affected by your trading chart software and the charts sitting up there for hours? Or do you mean is your trading affected by being visually impaired, because your monitor has display issues?
I wouldn’t worry about your charts causing issues for your monitor.
Try Tesco, Asda, or Lidl. Some very good deals on TV’s if you don’t want a big brand name

most professional traders using 8 mid size monitor as perfection. so 40+ monitor is just covering half the requirements as professionals advised. My charts is very detailed so I need to see them properly. My vision is excellent!
