Personally I would NEVER go for a 49" single monitor - if it fails you're busted, whereas with multiple monitors you're still in the game if one fails.

Secondly if using 4k ultra high resolution ultra high contrast for 12+ hours a day, you'll be as good as blind within a month.

I just use 4 x 24" ultra fast monitors and 4 x TV's.
how are you busted if a monitor fails? order a new one?
just set the contrast and resolution to what suits you/your eyes, how does it matter if its 4k or not, doesnt make sense

...if your sole monitor fails, how do you continue to trade until you manage to get a replacement which at the earliest would be the following day?

If it fails during an important event it could be very costly, but you carry on and get one if you like.

...not even once ;) (though I do change my monitors every 18-24 months or so)

I guess my computing background has taught me 'prevention is better than cure', so I have a lot of duplicity for such eventualities...most likely too much!

If I felt a 49" screen was worth the investment (as they're not cheap) and better than what I already have, I'd get three in a heartbeat - two to use and one as a spare ;)

I'm not so sure a gazillion monitors is a good idea or healthy...

I had 8 monitors at one stage. 3 x 1080p 24" and 5 x 14" lower res ones USB ones. After a year or so of that I started to realise they made me feel anxious, I had things open that I should have been finished with, but would revisit in my mind every time I saw it... Focus is pretty important IMO to let your subconscious/short term memory deal deal with things, and lots of screens doesn't really help with that...

Everyone is different, and doing different behaviours, but I have changed my habits to close down browser windows, tabs etc....read it, be done with it....

There's a book around called the Shallows, that talks about similar things and the problem with the internet changing your brain...it's interesting and IMO worth reading...probably lots of books around like that I guess...

my advice to you is to get 2 extra monitors and used them as a portrait mode on the left and right side of your main screen ,
if you want to go one step further you can get an extra 32 inch monitor on top of your main monitor if you already have a 32 inch 4k monitor as your main screen this will be an ideal set up

How do you do that?

I use Bet365 all the time for IP and have 4 screens myself, but have no idea how you layer markets on top of each other like that

If you look at the year on taskbar, it's says 2017 (05/13/2017?) , so it's 4 year old picture, bet365 doesn't look like that anymore, it's worse now. I don't think they still have option for favorite games ( yellow star)

Well spotted Bog
You're right, Bet365 removed the yellow star. I complained to them on Twitter, and all I got was some shit about passing my complaint on

Perhaps they thought too many people were starring markets, but weren't actually betting on them

Thanks for the response

I've been drooling over the Samsung 49" Oled -feel like you lot have been watching over my shoulder :P .
'Been trying to figure out how to stack it within my current 3 screen setup :? -which I couldn't figure out given the USB/HDMI/VGA port and space complexities of my man cave config :mrgreen: :ugeek: . Wifey offered to buy me a new grunty gaming system + independently cooled graphics card-which should solve the problem nicely :P

PS: Impressive rig there george
Well I have to say the Samsung 49 inch curved 4k running off a 12 core 5900 Ryzen with 32 GB RAM and a GeForce 3080 is the dogs bollocks :ugeek: :D Who needs the Queensland sun when you have this monitor :P The 6 neon coloured fans in the glass case of the huge PC appeals to my flashy lighty gene too. Its the simple things :mrgreen:

sounds good mcgoo :)

I personally switch off all of the coloured lights as I find they are an unnecessary drain on resources and nothing but a distraction, but each to their own
