We knew from personal experience the cost to productivity ratio was definitely in our favor by embracing this setup. So why aren\u2019t dual monitors more popular?<\/p>\n<p>The first issue is productivity. Do dual monitors make you more productive? Study after study confirms that workers are definitely more productive, often to the order of 20-30 percent. From a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2008\/03\/13\/idUS123894+13-Mar-2008+BW20080313\">2008 NEC release<\/a>, Dr. James A. Anderson, Ph.D. said \u201cdual-monitor configurations are recommended for use in any situation where multiple documents of information are an ordinary part of work&#8221;. The study found that widescreen and dual monitors took an 8 hour task down to 5.5 hours. Over the course of a year, the study found a net savings of 76 days in production. So yes, dual monitors can easily make you more productive.<\/p>\n<p>The second issue is cost. A lot of companies consider dual monitors to be an extravagance that isn\u2019t necessary. A second monitor with a dual-monitor video card can add 20 percent or a few hundred dollars to the cost of the computer. Over the lifetime of that computer that\u2019s not a big increase, especially given how much more productive you will be.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you buy a new office computer, consider dual monitors. Nearly everyone who sees dual monitors will \u201cooh\u201d and \u201cahh\u201d. You\u2019ll appear ahead of the curve and very techno-savvy. That extra productivity can be our little secret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we first started Red Clay Interactive in 2000, we instantly embraced all of our employees having dual monitors.
