    Want to let dad be able to look at a nice big image when he is at his desk. I think maybe there are some screen size/resolution things I need to look at right? Here are the specs on his model.....is there a minimum monitor spec I need to look at like 2560x1080? Thanks guys


    Was going through viewing distances/desk depth. His eyes will be approximately 40" from the monitor screen when typing. 29"? 34"? Seems like that is the sweet spot looking at a few viewing distance calculators. I was thinking split screen on a 34" would be nice so he can have his trading platforms open at the same time as maybe an email or web page?
