Currently I have my MacBook 15 inch screen, 1x 27 inch ASUS monitor, 1 x 21.5 inch ASUS monitor. I was looking to buy 2 4K and then I read this great article which says that there is no point in investing in 4k monitors which made sense..

Dont invest in 4K monitors until you read this..

Buying a 4k monitor less than around 34" makes no sense as viewing the monitor at 3840X2160 is going to be hard unless you're using a magnifying glass. However buying bigger 4K screens above 40" does make sense.

I used to run three 24 inch and one 22 inch monitors. Now I use the three monitors at work when I am in the office and got rid of the one 22 inch monitors. Now I use one 40 inch 4K monitor for trading and when I work from home.

I have only one monitor.. so nothing to honk my horn about.

But I would still like to be helpful to the Futures.io members... Great Site... Great Content.

So.. In about December of last year... I bought a Ergonomic Vertical Mouse because I was getting wrist strain from the mouse because like most mice I was having to roll my wrist over to use it for 10 hours a day or more.

Yep... Trade Markets in the Morning and Coding in the Afternoon.

My wrist not only stop smarting after using it for a few days... but now does not bother me at ALL. It is a vertical mouse with your hand holding it naturally.

Here is the link for the mouse on Amazon

I highly recommend a mouse like this to cut your wrist strain while working with your Monitors... Try it for 3 weeks.. If no like then return to Amazon for free.

thanks to all the Futures.io members.

Do you use or know of a screen dividing software - that makes truly many screens out of the one screen?

Yes, I used one called divvy. Not sure if it's still around, I think I paid it less then 10 usd. I used it on a mac laptop but I think it exists for Windows as well.

As FuManChou I use a 4K 40" Tv/Monitor + Notebook's 15" screen extension.

Itīs better to fit any thing you need to display.
Several borderless windows or large Excel spreadsheet.
No matter size or format.
Arrange as you like most.
