Dual Monitor’s Increase Efficiency
Subscribe | 
21 Feb 2006 | 4 CommentsHave you ever tried dual monitors? I have for about 3 years now and I will never go back. The efficiency gained with a dual monitor setup is well worth the additional cost. I highly recommend it for all technical departments. I have also seen efficiencies gaining in call centers, accounting departments, and tech support departments. When you have dual monitors you can easily maximize multiple windows. Anyone that needs to read information from one application and type in another application will see a huge benefit. This helps reduce the need to print out the document from which you need to read from, can you say paperless office? Want help setting up your dual monitor? Freepctech.com shows you the basic setup procedures.
Forbes.com, an internationally acclaimed business Web site, noticed a 50 percent reduction in its editorial production times after deploying dual monitors on the desks of their copy editors. I have seen other stats that suggest a 30% – 50% productivity gain. Even at a 5% productivity gain you can easily justify the cost. If you do go the dual monitor route, check out UltraMon. It is a Windows application that will help you be even more efficient with a dual monitor setup.
Hello,
Is there any chance you could list your source for the Forbes.com argument please?
I would like to find an official something about it, to use in a discussion on the advantage of using dual monitors, a discussion on a management level
Thanks
I’ve been using a second monitor for the last 6 months – and I love it. Not sure of the exact % it has helped, but it makes coding *much* quicker having multiple editors visible at the same time.
I higly recomand that the person who has wrote this article should try the dual monitors. I use them on my company and its totally a head ake for my employees
multiple monitors definitely increase productivity, and they also decrease the amount of errors made when working in more than one window. Have you see the usb to dvi and usb to vga solutions they’ve got these days? they let you add another monitor through a USB port.
