the apple display he has isnt 30", its only 24"... so i doubt that an extra 2" is worth the 6x increase in price.
No way the 30" is 10 times more usable than 4 X 22". I have one Dell 30" and 3 x 22". And the 30" is worth it for sure.
Just about to order another 30". $2000 bit of equipment is nothing as your main business tool.

I'm rather ignorant on Apples. What panel does the the Apple Cinema Display use? S-IPS?
Based on your experiences T/H .... would you recommend someone (whos looking for the ideal setup) starting with a single Dell 30" rather than having multiple smaller (e.g., 22") screens ....
... and only if/when absolutely necessary adding a 2nd/3rd 30".

But then again if its 1 month of profit its not the best use of capital. And your capital is the most important piece of equipment. Really depends on your type of trading but first would make sure I could get some return from trading.
The Dell 30" are $2200 each. I guess on one hand its a great bit of equipment for a biz that doesn't need much equipment to make good dollars.

I agree with the above comments. However, I probably should have said the ideal setup for an already profitable trader.

Do you actually NEED that many screens? Or don't you know you can drag the corner of each chart and make it smaller?
Probably need welding goggles to look at this all day ! is this many screens really necessary , probably not but doesnt it look impressive

Is anyone using 30" screens with resolutions of 2560 x 1440 (16:9) or 2560 x 1600 (16:10)?
If so how many DVI connections do you need to hook up from your video card(s) to the dvi inputs on the screen(s) to get the resolution above 1920 x 1080??
You can only hook up 1 DVI from the video adapter to the screen DVI port. Some newer screens are using Display Port which is faster and easier to hook up. Generally though if you use display port adapters (video cards) you need display port screens, avoiding cable adapters.
Most DVI video adapters are pretty cheap for our uses, so don't pay for a gaming card unless you are gaming.
Here's my five screen setup at the moment (2 Pcs)

Thanks CanOz, I'm currently running 3 Computers. One has 2 x 24" screens running 1920 x 1024 resolutions and the other 2 computers running one screen each at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Im looking to squeeze more data in without shrinking the various fonts. so I am looking for info on the 30" screens running 2560 x 1440 resolution.
Is the right hand screen in your setup 30"? If so what resolution have you set it too?
