Depends how old the GPU is in your laptop. Find out the exact make/model of the GPU and post it here, or you can just do a google search for the specifications and see if it supports 3840x2160.

OK. But as a trader, 4K isn't useful unless the size is 40", so that there is no DPI scaling. At 27" you'll have massive scaling, it's a waste of money and depending on your charting platform you...

The difference is negligible. Less than one inch. Probably less than half an inch. And due to how it mounts on the stand, if you use a stand, I don't think it makes any difference at all in depth...

Yes. Angling them solves it, just keep in mind you need to have a deep desk. 30" is absolute minimum if you want to put three 40's "side-by-side" (angled). Personally, in the new house, I am wall...

No scaling. Scaling is bad. But if you put them side-by-side without angling the outside monitors inward, you cannot see the edges of the screens on the outside.

Both.

You cannot put them side-by-side. Not even two. It isn't usable, for the same reason that a single 50" isn't usable as a monitor.

BTW, if I take your example literally it would never work. The monitors on the outside must be angled inward pretty substantially, and you must have a very deep desk to make it all work.

The curve is subtle. I would say there is an advantage with the curve, whether it's one or three. But it's not going to make a big difference either way.

I would discourage anything over 42" for use as a monitor. With the 40", you already have to move your head side-to-side. With three of them, the far left and far right are titled inward so it's...

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I think that's a terrible decision. 4K is worthless for trading on a display any smaller than 40", because of the DPI scaling required.

Assuming your current 40 inch monitors are not 4K but instead 1920x1080, then your horizontal width is 1920x4 = 7680. Your height remains 1080.

With 4K, it would be 3840x2160.

So, with a...

No, the office and my workspace in this rent house are no good. I'll post plenty of pictures once the new house is completed, I post pictures there almost every day of the construction.

27" monitor is too small to be useful for trading, and 4K is a waste at that size because you'll have to scale everything so large to be able to read it. 40" is the sweet spot, not less.
