So with the 43 inch Philips do you need to upgrade the graphic card? If so what do you need? Thanks

No, I run using the internal graphics on the Intel processor (i7-6700). You do not need a powerhouse to display charts.

I actually drive two 4K monitors from the processor, directly thru the motherboard with no graphics card.

I had problems with the i7-6700K driving the 4K monitor. Maybe they fixed the problems with the driver, but it wasn't compatible with my LG 31MU97-B.

I bought the NVIDIA Quadro K1200. Excellent product, good performance without requiring a new PSU (it drives only 45W max) and can run 4 x 4K monitors. It also comes with a monitor management software which I like.

What monitors are those? Are they turned sideways? If so, how do you rotate the your images?

They are philips, they can be turned with the standard feet.
In windows you then rotate and expand your desktop...

CTRL + ALT + Arrow Keys (up/dn/left/right)
