Product Tip of
the Month |
Dual Monitors |
|
|
Do you switch between multiple programs
routinely? Example - Do you copy data from your
main program to or from Word or Excel?
Do you need to watch multiple
applications simultaneously? Example - Do you need to
watch email for customer service requests or sales which
need to be handled very quickly? |

If you answered yes to any of these
questions, then dual monitors would be a productivity
enhancement for you. With dual monitors, a user is
able to open multiple applications and view them amongst
screens. |

different program displayed. Your mouse moves from
either screen and using the copy/paste functions you can
easily copy data from one program to another.

Shown to the right is a
dispatchers position at the Whitley County Sheriff's

capabilities, especially with laptops, but those that
are not can easily be upgraded with a new video card.
Monitors are much less expensive now than in the past so
this solution which used to be only available on high
end solutions is now readily available for everyone.
Enhanced Productivity is surely a
positive outcome when implementing this solution.
Ball State even has produced an article about
implementing this at their Library.
