As you may have read here I've been pondering how to clean up my desk with regards to screens and using the available space in the best way.
Now I actually own one of those quad monitor stands and must say I'm quite pleased. It's really easy to assemble and 3/4 monitors (I had four different models, 3 brands) were easily mountable except for one old one.
Considering you can get good 22" monitors on ebay etc for USD 100 (used) and the stand costs less than USD 450 - you can get a pro trader desk for USD 1000.
Considering I almost lost USD 9000 last week (last 10 days) that's an investment that will please me on a daily basis for years to come.
I use it this way: On one screen I have the FX open, with margin, open positions, charts, on another I have 4-5 market depths of stocks I'm active in, on the third I have general news and index charts. The forth slot on the Quad Stand is currently empty. My old 19" BenQ screen had this strange stand I couldn't unscrew.
But especially when you lean back in your chair (40") the upper two screens are really easy on the eyes. However when I sit 25" close to the monitor stand I do have to tilt my head slightly backward. Maybe I need a chair that can swivel higher... Not a construction fault of the stand, more a issue of my table being to narrow, me sitting to close.
Bottom line: If you're risking thousands of USD a week, this will be one investment that will give you a nice return and make all PC-related activities more comfortable.
