According to a study done by the University of Utah and ATI Technologies “multi-screen users get on task quicker, work faster and get more work done with fewer errors” said Dr. James Anderson, professor at the University of Utah. He even speculated that “…Multiple monitor configurations are poised to become the new standard in the workplace.”
Here’s some more information the study uncovered:
33% fewer errors
18% faster in error-less editing of multiple tasks
16% faster edits throughout the task
10% more error-less edits generated
6% quicker access to tasks (opening, sizing, aligning windows)
45% easier task tracking (finding windows, referencing text, etc.)
38% easier to move sources of information around
32% faster to perform tasks
29% more effective for tasks
24% more comfortable to use in tasks
19% easier to recover from mistakes
17% easier to learn how to accomplish the task
Making the change to multiple monitors is fairly easy. The main concern most people have is the amount of desk space 2 monitors require. ESI’s multi-monitor arm not only solves this problem but has numerous other benefits as well. First, it maximizes available space. It lifts the monitors off of the desk surface giving you more working space. Second, these mounts are adjustable so you can set the monitor to your specific needs. A well placed monitor can help alleviate neck, back and shoulder pain. And finally it’s good for the environment. They are made from a minimum of 99% post consumer recycled product (and is also recyclable.)
The ESI Dual-Monitor Multi-Mount Articulating Arms are very sturdy and can accommodate 1 to 6 monitors. For more information on this product and ESI’s fully line of ergonomical solutions visit EngineerSupply.com
