I've got 2 AGM CW 19" wide screen monitors that I use for online stock and currencty trading. They're OK except I think small type faces aren't that clear sometimes. I don't know if that matters for what I do most of the time.
Most wide screen resolution is 1440 X 990. For regular 19" it's 1280 X 1024. Will the 1280 X 1024 seem sharper for small type faces?
I'm thinking of getting 2 more 19" LCD's for a total of 4 monitors (very common in stock trading for multiple charts, etc.).
Should I buy the same brand and WS resolution or will it matter to my set up and graphics card which is a PNY Quadro 440 NVS PCIEX 16. It can run 4 monitors from one PCIEX 16 slot, that's why I bought it even though it was pricy. Do all the monitors have to have the same refresh rate, etc.?
Thanks for your time and input.
I'm running this:
Asus A8N 5X
AMD X2 3800
Corsair XMS2048 3200
PNY Quadro NVS 440 PCIEX 16
WD Caviar SE16 2500KS
Samsung 16X DVD+R DVD
Sony IDE DVD-ROM
Samsung 1.44 3.5 floppy
Cooler Master RS 450
Cooler Master Centurion 5CAC-T05
Logitech X-230 32 Watts RMS 2.1 Speakers-OEM
2 AGM CW 19" wide screen monitors
MS XP Pro
NOD 32
I run 4 monitors @ 1280x1024... 2 of them off of a Quadro NVS 280.
1. Your text should be clear. Maybe it's the widescreen thingy. You might try increasing the font size by one point and see if it clears up. (I presume 1440x990 is a resolution supported by the card and you have the monitor resolution set to that?)
2. You can use any monitor you want where your video card supports the native resolution. None of them have to "be the same" as others. Each monitor can be set to its own resolution and refresh rate.
