For me, this is scary. I trade stocks and options for my income in retirement. I have a tower with 4 monitors right now. I just can’t do what I do on a laptop or tablet. If I were trapped at a hospital and had to trade one option or a single stock, maybe I could get it done in an orderly manor, but to try and watch 7-10 stocks with options streaming and streaming charts to match, it just can’t be done on one screen. I guess I can collect trash from the dumpster to keep my system running, but I don’t want to. I do have many used parts in my system right now, but that was just to save money from buying new parts. If I can’t even get them, I will be stuck in the ‘80’s forever.

They make USB video cards. Just plug them in and hook an HDMI monitor to them.

I use a 42” VISIO HDMI screen for my monitor...they are cheap and it’s got a lot of space on it.
