Finally -- a Solution for Multiple Monitors on a Laptop for Traders

By Larry Jacobs, Editor of Traders World magazine

As you know, there are many advantages to using a laptop over a desktop computer for the trader. The primary advantage is portability. The laptop can go with the trader. Trading tools and data can also go with the trader.

But, to be successful at trading, it is necessary to view many charts, quotes, chat rooms and so on, on multiple monitors. And, the one really big disadvantage of a laptop is the lack of accessibility to multiple monitors. This has changed. A trader can now have a laptop that can connect to up to 3 external monitors to give him or her the screen real-estate needed to trade successfully. Plus, the trader can still disconnect the laptop from the multiple monitors for full portability.

So, the trader can now take his or her trading from the office to the home or even on vacations. How is this done? This is done with a new external graphics box called ViDock.

It is the ultimate graphic expansion for laptop computers. It takes advantage of the powerful Express Card expansion slot of modern systems, enabling additional displays to connect to the portable computer. It brings uncompromised desktop class, speed and quality video to laptop computers for the trader. This has never been possible before.

Now, with the ViDock, the trader can have one computer instead of two. Having a desktop computer in the office and a laptop to take home is no longer necessary. It is just necessary to have a powerful laptop. This is a big advantage.

The laptop connects to multiple monitors at the office and can be disconnected for a convenient mobile system out of the office. It is not necessary to sync data between different systems and keep both up and running.

The ViDock can output to up to 2 monitors with a resolution of up to 2560 x 16000 for each screen. There is a port on the back of most laptops that gives access to a third monitor. So, using the ViDock, a trader can actually use 4 screens to trade, 3 external monitors along with the laptop screen.

Now, with the ViDock, the trader has full portability. He or she is no longer tied to the office for trading. This gives the trader more freedom and, therefore, should make the trader happy and possibly more successful.
