Ladders & Screen Resolution

I’ve been generally not losing money now for a little while (£1, 2 & 4) stakes - maybe been at it for 1 month.

I’m confident enough to spend a little on more of a setup after being caught out a few times by the first or 2nd out of sight ladder - even with seeing 75-80% of the money on 4 ladders. I appreciate that I can get up other graphs - it just the time lost doing it. I also have to run the live pictures on my phone which would be nice on the screen.

Am using the BA VPS and a 15.4” 1440x900 2012 MacBook.

Am I right to think if I just bought a 3840x2160 gaming screen to plug in that I could get twice the ladders on it or does it not work like that?

As it is I can get 4 ladders and nothing else on the screen at the same time - am I missing something?

Any help gratefully received!

Hello mate.

I have a few monitors and a couple of laptops but my ladder screen is 27" and comfortably fit 6 ladders and the charts fit nicely too!

Thank you - is that because of the 27” or because it has a high resolution? Any idea what the resolution is?

That's how it works, Screen size is irrelevent it's the number of pixels that count. Although a high pixel count on a small screen will test your eyesight.

If you do use multiple plug in monitors there is a setting on the 'display' tab of RDP to enable multiple monitors (it might be slightly different on the Mac RDP), just remember to make sure thats ticked
