The Benefits of Dual Screening at Work

The term dual screen means that there are two monitors connected to a single computer at the same time. The use of dual screens is increasing in organisations in all sectors.

It is common for the dual screen set up to involve the use of a laptop and a second monitor.

Setting up Dual Screens

As a word of caution it is very  important to set up your dual screens correctly as this helps avoid the health risks associated with using DSE. We have a separate article which covers how to set up you dual screens correctly. Our Sales Team can also advise on this matter.

What are the Benefits of Using Dual Screens at Work?

Using dual screens can offer a whole host of benefits to your workforce. The main advantages are as follows:

• Increased productivity – saving time and money
• Better display of multiple programs simultaneously
• Easier comparison of data means reduction in input errors
• Less document printing required – saving cost and the environment
• If a laptop is used you will also save energy as a desktop PC will normally cost more to run.

Many  studies have reported that the use of dual screens both increases productivity and reduces errors. Speeding up employees’ rate of work could save your  businesses a lot of money every year.

Setting up an additional monitor with a laptop has become very easy when using most laptops. This can be beneficial for workers who are only using a workstation for a short period of time. Workers could quickly disconnect the extra monitor and take their laptop with them to their next job. This facilitates flexible working and hot desking.

Easy comparison of data allows precise attention to detail which in turn results in a higher quality of work being produced. Instead of memorising information from one program to another, workers can have both running simultaneously, side by side, minimising the scope for mistakes.
