Best ~$150 Monitor for IB?

Hey all,

I have an approximate $300 budget to buy two monitors, so looking at ~$150 for each. Starting at an EB in IB soon. What are the best monitors you could recommend in this range?

Thanks!

I got the following ultrawide monitor with internship stipend for technology expenses:

It’s essentially two continuous monitors, and I have a vertical monitor as well, meaning I have two screens wide plus a tall display for code / long documents. It’s a killer setup and works on a graphics card having only two outputs.

Never had a problem with the monitor as Samsung is pretty reputable while coming in at more affordable price points. It’s nothing crazy, certainly not gaming-oriented, but gets the job done for work. It’s given me a pretty significant advantage over others working on half the screen real estate.

Interested in code, market mechanics, and trading strategies!
