I guess you will be using 4K resolution monitors, and 2 monitors go to a computer and graphic card.
what graphic card are you using.
I was considering this arrangement and I scrapped the idea as the graphic card can't support the two
4K resolution monitors.
Even integrated graphics supports 4k these days . You dont need killer frame rates for static images . You should be able to pick up a 4k GPU suitable for trading for around 100 bucks

I got an MSI GE73VR Raider https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE73VR-Raider.html about a month ago...love it! Stupid sick for a thin and light laptop. After looking at monitors for a long time I finally decided on and ordered 2 MSI Optix AG32C https://us.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-AG32C 32 inch monitors. These are not 4K...but after looking at so many monitors in this size range 4K was not something that mattered to me. I was more concerned with viewing quality and to add refresh rate and response time....plus I like the curved : )
Anyway, I'll post some pics of my rig when my monitors are delivered.
It is my pleasure to announce a new challenge event for August 2018: Battlestations!

Ten years in the making, one-year love affair.
Wouldn't you like to know the details? The attached monthly journals reveal it all.
In summary, I am happily trading in a paperless environment that I never thought it's possible.
Everything I need is in front of me, 15 Multiview Screen Workspace--thanks to UltraView Desktop Manager from Digital Tigers.
I do not trade intraday during summer because of slow moving market; otherwise, every day is a Groundhog Day: Eat, Sleep, Homework, Trade.
Just love being with "iLoveStation" in my new home office.
What’s next??? I would love to buy a new toy using Amazon gift card: RAZER NAGA CHROMA--Mouse That Changes How You Trade.
Let's vote by pushing "Thanks" button, huh? Thanks a million!
I have a suggestion, why not have a wall of fame for different categories of desks. Not necessarily money but more about bragging rights/recognition. I've been through this thread and some desks make my eyes water, others make me lol, some are like wtf, some make me jealous...
I think at minimum we should celebrate the most over the top setup. I don't mean it in a disrespectful way but as recognition of the pioneers out there that are prepared to display their unique style through the awesomeness and artistic expression of their setups.
