How this betters your life: They always say that two heads are better than one … now imagine your computer is a robot … or a really cool … nvm just trust me two monitors rocks so take one from NIKE
What you need: a desktop with two monitors or laptop and extra monitor
Honestly this post is being written for a few reasons outlined below:
- Everyone that uses the computer for doing more than one thing at a time should have multiple monitors.
- Multiple monitors increases the screen space you have for multitasking.
- Multiple monitors have also been found to cause an increase in productivity (boss … I need an extra monitor to make you more money … 65% of the time this works every time)
- The most important reason is I am writing an article about a solution that only applies if you have two monitors and it would be foolish of me to assume that most people have two monitors … soooooooo my plan is to convince everyone in the world that they should have two monitors so my article applies to more of the population. Good plan? I sure think so.
Check out this article on how to set up dual monitors in windows. This article shows you how to set up dual monitors on a mac.
Update (via Johnny G): Another cool solution would be to get a VGA cord and hook your computer up to your flat screen TV. I’ll be doing this soon when I decide which TV to get so i’ll outline my experience with that later on. Thanks for the comment!
You can also add that you don’t just need a monitor but a VGA hookup to a TV works too. I paid 10 bucks on Amazon and got a VGA cord and now watch TV from my comp on my flat screen.
True Story … I will have to add that
Thanks Johnny G
