Does this poll want to measure if people use many monitors or if they need many charts to search for an opportunity? To me, it's two different things.

i have 6 monitors (1440 X 2560) connected to my machine, turned vertical
i use an AMD firepro W600 special graphics accelerator card
with an intel i7 4960 CPU (6 cores) running windows 8.1 64 bit
with 32 Gb, corsar DDR3,
samsung 256 GB SSD 840 Pro, and 2 X 2 TB hard disks

running ninjatrader in 64 bit mode
the machine is laser beam fast

i rarely see the cpu going over 15%
before i had 3 screens on my laptop, and it was swapping like hell, took 2,3,4 seconds to take an order



it allows me to follow easily 3 instruments simultaneously
i don't trade simultaneously,
but i look for entries simultaneously

i use audible alerts (synthetic spoken message, to warn me of setup coming near)

Nice shirt!

There are always two camps on the monitor thing.

I think it comes down to personality.

I am simply the type of person where I feel restricted/limited/inefficient if I have just one monitor, it dramatically reduces the multitasking I can do.

I've had multi-monitors for about 15 years now, ever since Windows 98.

For the people that choose to have just a single monitor, I wonder if they've ever used a system with multi-monitors before and truly understand what they are missing?
