A dual monitor setup is something which I have considered for a long time. I am yet to go for it because, honestly, I think it could distract me instead of enhancing my productivity.
Having said that, a lot of people seem to work better with two monitors. Even with a laptop, some people prefer to add another screen on one side. This setup does have its advantages. For example, you could assign one monitor for native applications and the other for browsing and web research. That’s just one example – there are many other merits.
Some people prefer to go for a big 30 inch screen instead of dual monitors because it offers bigger screen real estate that eliminates the need to scroll down often.
So, what do you prefer? A single or dual monitor setup? Have you tried using two monitors? How has it affected your work?
