Newbie looking for advice on setup - use a TV?
pommyg posted a topic in Bear Bull Traders - Members Only!
Hi - I'm a new member going through the educational stuff - amazing! I've been interested in finance since I was 12 and am now mid-late 40s. Not much in the way of day trading experience though and I have already had improvements. My current setup is an all in one on my right and a horizontal screen/vertical screen in front of me - something like below. The monitor on the right is my all in one and angled somewhat on a perpendicular desk. I dont want my neck turned to the right for prolonged positions so just use it to glance every now and then at things. Anyway, I saw using multiple monitors in the educational materials https://bearbulltraders.com/lessons/part-3-multiple-monitors-watchlist/. Is there a suggested 4 monitor setup like that? I dont play games, I use my setup to watch youtube, read documents, email, use IB TWS and now DAStrader Pro. I would like to move away from my current collection of misfitted monitors and something more organised. Not immediately, but over a 1-2 month period. Could I use a large 4k TV like the one below to divide one screen in front of me into four areas, using 2-3 for DAS and 1-2 for other things. https://www.amazon.ca/TCL-50S425-CA-Ultra-Smart-Television/dp/B07KG318MQ/ Yes, I'm cheap! I'd rather not spend alot of money on monitors when I do not game. What do you all think? Would it be suitable for what I want to do and is there a better way that I have not considered. Thanks in advance and for such a great community. Pommy -
Using GPU and Onboard Video Together
Abiel posted a topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
It is possible to use both a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) AND onboard video together? - Yes. When you install a graphics card, the integrated GPU is automatically disabled to avoid resource conflicts. In this case, if your CPU has 2 outputs and your GPU has 2 outputs, you could use all 4 outups. However, the BIOS on some motherboards does support simultaneous use of both GPUs, so you''ll have to check what graphics options are available in the BIOS configuration. Be aware that this is only supported on some motherboards. If that option is not supported then you must connect monitor(s) to your graphics card. Thx to @Carlos M. & @Robert H for their help in this topic.
