I am using an "EasyMountLCD" or "Tyke Supply" hex stand. It is two rows, so 3 wide, 2 high.

But the stand is less than ideal, simply due to geometry. The upper row is tilted downward, and the outer columns are tilted both downward and inward. This means the edges do not align at all, which leaves big gaps between the borders.

For a single row of monitors, this is not a problem because they would be angled similarly. So I can't fault the manufacturer.

Mike, I have 10 monitors using three stands (2 no. 4-monitor stands and 1 no. 2-monitor stand) that you can see in my trading desk post to this thread. It is two rows of 5 screens and in a curved configuration. To deal with the geometry and gaps due to the screen bezels, after some searching and testing, I settled on using Displayfusion software. This is far and away the best solution out there for multiple monitors and has many features, the best of which is dealing with the gaps between screens. My cursor never gets stuck or "lost" so problem solved. Good value for money and depending on the license, it can be used across multiple computers. Google it and I'm sure you will be surprised by the features.

4) I run Sierra Charts on the bottom left screen for one account (with Interactive Brokers as a backend) with 9 windows for the main futures instruments that I trade.

Nice setup. Just wondering how you find the Sierra/IB combination? Do you have any problems with that?
I frequently 'lost' my mouse pointer which wsa damned frustrating until I discovered a Win10 feature where you press the CTRL button and it zooms into the location allowing you to spot it quite easily.

Hi Grantx, thanks for your comment. I found the Sierra / IB combo flawless and very easy to set up and configure. Never had a blip once. I leave IB running in the background and hardly look at it, except at the end of the day to check my P&L.

Regarding the mouse, I find the Displayfusion software looks after the cursor better than Windows does and if I can't see the cursor or remember where it was if I leave the desk, since it may be anywhere on 1 of the 10 screens I just move the mouse far left or far right to find it on one of the leftmost or rightmost screens. Thanks for that Win10 tip as I wasn't aware of that feature.

Cheers and good luck.

Sorry Mike, I just realised from one of your earlier postings in this thread that you already use Displayfusion so no need to preach to the converted.
