i have one 13" laptop and one 27" monitor,
i plan to have additional two 24" monitor in the future but after i've achieved certain goals (one of it is consistent profit) in my trading journey
No problem. FWIW, I did my research 2-3 years ago and bought two Sony 55" TVs which I now use as 4K monitor each running 3840X2160. They have been running really well. I dont remember ever getting eye strain.
In contrast, about 8 months prior, before I bought the TVs, I had purchased two 43" Philips computer monitors from Amazon which both failed. The panels in both monitors started getting dead areas and about 8 months later, I had to return both to Amazon. Thankfully they took them back at the time!
I started working remotely last March and made it till Sept with 2 27" 2K monitors, before I decided I needed more real estate
I run my work VPN/RDP inside a VM on my home PC (this bypasses the 'no Split Tunneling' rule that Cisco implements), connecting to my day job workstation with dual 24" monitors. I also run my Sierra Chart with 4 charts, 2 of which are 10 second charts (1 ES and 1 MES). This is a decent 'load' on my i7 6700K with 32G Ram and RTX2060, but it (SC) typically runs less than 15% of my CPU.
I started wanting more space (for Slack, Discord, Zoom, etc) so I after some research I went with the TCL 50S425 (50" 4K TV) coupled with a 'better' cable. I too use DisplayFusion Pro (bought on sale on Steam, lol) and am pretty happy with it all.
I don't play shooters much anymore. When I play it's basically MMO's, so I can't attest to the FPS during a firefight, but it works fine for WoW, GW2, etc. SC has no issues keeping up during heavy market action.
I should have gone with the 55" to make my virtual dual 27's on the bottom of the screen closer to spec, and a curved screen would have made it MUCH better on the sides (I'm now planning for that for the next upgrade).
TL;DR: Happy with a 55" LED TV running DisplayFusion Pro for virtual monitors. Plus, this was a cheaper alternative to buying 2 more 27" 2K monitors.
I'm looking for something in the 50-55 inch range which seems to be the sweet spot for these things. Rting gave a pretty good review of a bargain 4k Hisense 50-Inch Class H8 Quantum Series (429 US). However I want to dig a bit deeper to determine if it would be wiser to spend more for better quality and not make a penny wise pound pound foolish type mistake. In any case you helped give me a good head start on the project and it's much appreciated ... thanks again.
Picked up a 42" LG 4k TV from Costco I think it was in the $250 price range works great for everything have to tweak the screen size little easy to do with NVidia game card I have. My card is not powerful enough to get 60 Frames per second at 4k so I run it at 1080P for games still looks great on a cheap 4k TV monitor. For trading at 4k I can put horizontal charts up and I have a 27" I turned vertical for a DOM window or I have a spread sheet on it. I have a 65" OLED I sometimes send the output to sit in my living room for trading, or on another game computer I setup in there games look amazing on OLED TV. I have never seen any LAG on OLED TV I have on the cheaper 42" 4k LCD LED backlit TV.
