"See what you're missing" with a dual monitors or an ultra-wide monitor. If you haven't tried it, you should.

1. It’s More Than
What You See
With Dual Monitors

2. Multiple Monitors
If you haven’t already, you should seriously consider adding a second
monitor to your workstation.
This is one of those cases where 1+1 = exponential value.
Once you have tried it, you won’t willingly go back to a single monitor.
It is easy to set up and there are lots of ways it can help.

3. Simple Setup
The requirements are minimal and
configuration is all done through the Display
controls in the Windows Control Panel.
It does require a display controller which is
capable of supporting dual monitors. This is
built-in on laptops, but it may require a
display adapter upgrade on a desktop PC.
• Windows display settings allow you to
customize the settings for the appropriate
resolution for each display so that the
desktop can be spread across the two
monitors.

4. Real Advantages
There are lots of ways that this extra
desktop resolution can be helpful. As you
get used to having the extra space, no
doubt you will find lots of ways to utilize it.
Here are some simple examples:
• Multiple Application Windows - Our INTERAC
accounting applications allow users to open
multiple windows in the software, so they can
have more than one application open at a
time. This makes it very easy to move
between applications or functions without
having to open and close screens.
• Presentations – PowerPoint is designed to
take advantage of multiple monitors, so one
monitor is the presentation display and the
other shows the controls and presenter notes.
• Going Paperless – With a Document
Management System it is much easier to
preview a document on one screen while
executing the data entry in the accounting
application on the other. This eliminates the
need to handle all that paper that has
traditionally taken up so much space and
time. (see the example picture)
• Keeping the Calendar and Email screens
readily available – Most workers are tied to
their electronic calendars and email systems
and the extra monitor makes it easy to keep
those screens open and available all the time.

5. Dual or Ultra-wide
The new ultra-wide monitor option
eliminates the complexity of dual monitors.
Utilize monitors you already have for a dual
monitor setup.
