Posted October 26, 2017 Hi guys, I'm planning on buying 3 more monitors to build a trading pc setup. This is my current pc built: Asrock B150M Pro4 Core i3 4160 8gb of RAM Inno3D GTX750ti 2GB 450W power supply Current monitor: Dell U2312HM I'm planning to buy 3 LG 23MP65 and create a 4 monitors setup. the 3 LGs will be lined up with each other at the bottom and the Dell will sit on top at the middle. both my VGA and MB has 3 display outputs. I'm planning to use both the VGA and the on-board graphic. it can be 2 on each or 1 on the on-board and 3 on the VGA. all of the 4 monitors will be running at 1080p. since i'm not gaming and focusing mainly on reading charts and some office work, will this system be able to run 4 monitors without any problems?

Posted October 26, 2017 Yes, it can. You also may look at 2 ultrawide, our video editor in office switched from 4 23" monitors to 2 ultrawide. But maybe for trading 4 would be better...

Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Assuming you have a DP connector it will carry support for 4 screens. You just need a splitter.

But maybe for trading 4 would be better... i've looked at that option but it would be too expensive. 2 LG 29" would cost me about $700 while I can buy 3 used 23" for about $300 total. and I also want to separate the contents between trading windows and other things on the top screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 27, 2017 with these connectors you will not be able to run 4 displays unless you GPU is specifically made for this as DVI and HDMI share the same clock signal which is typically not able to drive more than 2-3 screens at once. beside this you should know that looking at charts and stuff for stock trading has no real value as historical stock performance doesnt mean anything in terms of future stock performance. if you actually want to earn money while keeping the risk low just invest in ETFs and be done with it.
