Benefits of Using Dual Monitors

January 28, 2019 by Hector

Home » Blog » Benefits of Using Dual Monitors

Dual MonitorsHave you ever witnessed your coworkers crazily straddle two computer monitors like madmen? Many find that working multiple monitors in this way is either intimidating or just plain weird, so it’s no surprise that such a setup is unpopular. But even if you look like you’re preparing to launch rockets into outer space, that shouldn’t dissuade you from working with dual monitors altogether. Here are five reasons why working with two is better than one:

Enhanced Productivity

Published studies conclude that by working with dual monitors, overall productivity increases by 20-50%. Computer programmers, for example, can use one screen for source coding and the other for programming; by using dual monitors, they no longer need to toggle back and forth between tabs. This reduces errors and frees up time to complete more projects.

Better Multitasking

Efficient multitasking requires adequate screen space to keep multiple applications simultaneously visible — a view that single monitors alone simply cannot accommodate. Workers who require computers, like customer service reps and web designers, would no longer waste time switching between tabs and resizing windows to fit the limited space; they could now focus on completing their tasks accurately and efficiently.

Easier Cutting and Pasting

This reason resonates with jobs that call for creating newsletters or PowerPoint presentations. Dual monitors would eliminate the need for alternating between tabs and scrolling up and down as you work. Also, the enhanced visibility reduces chances of making mistakes and thus losing more time fixing them.

Image and Video Editing

With dual monitors, the days of stacking numerous editing tools on top of the image or video you’re working on are long gone. Instead of your screen looking like a game of Mahjong, you can put the editing tools on one screen and leave the image on the other. With better visibility, you’re less likely to commit errors, and you’re not sacrificing valuable working time in the process.

Product Comparison

You want to buy a camera, and you have two models in mind. It’s time to make a decision, so you have to compare their specs. With a single monitor, you need to go back and forth from one tab to another. However, two monitors let you view the models side by side, helping you clearly see their differences and make an informed purchase.

Broaden your horizons by getting in touch with us about dual monitors. We’ll answer any questions you have.
