Scientific study reveals increase in productivity from using multiple monitors.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA — According to recent scientific study done by NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America, Inc., ATI Technologies and the University of Utah, using multiple (two or more) monitors contributes to increased productivity and enhanced employee satisfaction.

The study, entitled “Productivity and Multi-Screen Displays” examines how multiple monitor configurations increase user productivity and usability. Multi-monitor computing is becoming an affordable and effective solution. Providing users with the ability to access more information and images simultaneously, multiple monitor configurations allow for more efficient multi-tasking between applications.

“The study reveals multi-screen users get on task quicker, work faster and get more work done with fewer errors editing documents, spreadsheets, and graphic files in comparison with single screen users,” said Dr. James Anderson, professor at the University of Utah’s Department of Communication. “Multiple monitor configurations are poised to become the new standard in the workplace.”

By enabling users to work between multiple applications and resolving the need to view and process a multitude of information sources simultaneously, multiple monitor configurations allow users to move and size information and images on any or all screens to increase productivity. Overall respondents in the study were 10% more productive using multiple monitor set-ups. Also, the study results show that respondents increased their errorless production by 18% using multi-screen configurations.

Axiom’s multi-monitor solution
Further increasing user productivity when working with multiple monitors, Axiom offers Dual-screen Window Manager — the Windows-based utility that eliminates dialog boxes split across dual screens. Whenever a dialog box would be displayed in the “gutter” between two monitors, Dual-screen Window Manager automatically snaps the dialog box over to one monitor or the other. Since some Windows programs have problems if their dialog boxes are moved, Dual-screen Window Manager allows users to save a list of application windows which they do not want moved.
