With the advent of multi-touch displays and related technologies, more businesses are turning to multi-monitor displays and technologies to improve efficiency and lower costs. Multi-display, also known as multi-view and multi-stick, is the usage of multiple display units, including monitors, laptops, and projectors, to increase the usable area available on a single machine.
The most common application of this technology is in the gaming industry, where several machines connected via a display port can display the game’s state at any given moment. In such cases, there may be two or more screens displayed on the same hardware. The advantages of using this technology includes:
Cost savings
By taking advantage of multi-monitor displays and technologies, businesses can save a great deal in the long run thanks to increased productivity. By using dual monitors and multiple monitors, tasks can be done faster and with more accuracy. Dual monitors can also reduce the need for purchasing additional hardware such as a video card and motherboard. With regard to the laptops, they have dual screens which give them an extra real-estate without having to sacrifice the visual quality. There are various types of monitors available, depending on the type of device. Laptops can have as high as four monitors to notebooks have as few as two.
Flexibility
By using dual monitor screens, the user is able to rotate the screen simultaneously, allowing him or her to see the screen of the previous display while using the other one. This is especially useful when multi-tasking. It can also save a great amount of space, as dual monitors take up little desk space. These are some of the reasons why more businesses are turning to monitors to increase productivity and cut costs.
Functionality
Having more than one screen can greatly improve functionality in a number of ways. For one, some applications have dashboards that are configured for multiple displays, so you need more than one screens to use it to its full potential. It offers much faster input and admin on CRM systems as well, and once the user has got used to dual screens they can become much more productive. If you work at a computer, the chances are that a second display will speed up your work output by at least 10-20%, which over time leads to a lot of time saved.
