Here is my current six monitor setup.

I am not real happy with it. It was inexpensive, but...

So I am probably going to just get six new U2412M monitors from Dell. I already have the HD 5870 Radeon.

It is very dark red, not at all what it looks like in the camera photo.

may i ask what you are displaying on that monster? i run 4x24" and for trading one product, it suffices for my needs.

on a side note: you might want to get ultramon, with it you can select different wallpapers for each screen (something windows still can't do natively)

I own UltraMon and Display Fusion. I prefer Display Fusion, but the wallpaper is not important to me because there are always apps open (except for when I took the camera photo).

Top left monitor is email primarily, I get a ton of email.

Bottom left monitor is web browser, mainly for futures.io (formerly BMT).

The other four monitors are six to eight charts and my DOM, trade position window.

thank you for answering. email and browser screens reduce actual charting space, makes sense now.
did not even know about DisplayFusion, will look into it.

The reviews pretty much put them equal, and the HP was less expensive at $290 shipped, but I felt the Dell was the way to go.

Review of the yet to be released Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) And X79 Platform:

(In comparison they still see a ton of value in the Core i7-2600K and others.)
