We will also give you tips on how to set up dual monitors in case you need it.

How to set up dual screen monitors

The first thing to consider when you plan on having two screen monitors is to know how to set them up. In general, there are 4 simple step to follow including:

• Step 1: Connect your second screen monitor to both the power source and your computer.
• Step 2: Open computer Display Setting on the computer, then select “Extend these displays” in the Multiple Displays feature.
• Step 3: Select the order of your two monitors and the primary display.
• Step 4: Check if the order of the display screen is right and adjust them accordingly.

And voila! You are now having a working space on screen that is double in size for a more productive day.

How do dual screen monitors work?

The benefit of dual monitors from the same CPU/computer is that you can control two screens with just one mouse/touchpad and of course, with one keyboard as well. It is like a computer has literally twice the screen space.

You can move the mouse and drag/drop windows or applications from one monitor to the other. Or look up information on this screen, while continuing to complete your work on the other screen. You don't have to switch from window to window, or snooze one task to open another as before.

Dual screen monitors work just fine as a single monitor with a double in size screen.

4 Benefits of dual monitor setup

1. Optimize productivity and work progress

One of the benefits of dual monitor setup is that you will have a second screen connected to your first one, meaning a second working space that is 2 times larger than your original setup that operated from the same computer.

Having two screens at the same time means you have more flexibility to work with many tasks as well as multiple applications all at once, but we actually don’t recommend that in your working time since it will distract you from perfecting each task. Not to mention, if anything happens with one screen, you still have the other to continue your work.

The benefits of having dual monitors are to optimize both your productivity and work progress.

2. Help you rearrange your tasks better

Moreover, you can also display even more content in front of your eyes. Everytime you want to check out something on another task, instead of rummaging it from those hidden tabs, you always have a second screen to put it there to follow up everytime you want. Not to mention that, dual screen monitors will make it easier for you to navigate multiple windows, as well as drag and drop something from one screen to another.

One more thing on the list of benefits of dual monitors at work is you will get to have more space to better sort and arrange your applications, files, and folders right in front of your eyes instead of having to minimize or temporarily turn them off. Thereby, save your time and effort in finding and turn them on whenever you need. We bet that those who love multitasking also love these benefits as we do.

3. Great for gaming

What game doesn't want to play on a bigger screen? There are still a lot of dual screen benefits and one of them is that it gives gamers a larger screen display to optimize their gaming experience, something which only a single screen monitor cannot give them.

Not only that, having two monitors at the same time enables professional gamers to multitask and stream with ease. More importantly, a larger screen gives you wider and larger screens when playing strategy games, racing games, or RPGs.

Dual screen monitors offer gamers a better gaming experience.

4. Excellent for streamers

Actually, every streamer has one or more sets of dual screen monitors in their working space, and it is quite hard to find any streamer that has only one screen monitor at home. It is because of the speciality of the profession. A streamer will normally need two screens for an efficient live streaming. One screen is for the game they are playing, and one is for streaming, reading comments, interacting with followers, and many more activities.

Without the second screen, everything is like walking in the dark, like managing to do a radio show which they literally know nothing about the reaction of their followers, or if the live stream is working well for the audiences or not.

Conclusion

A single screen monitor is perfectly fine and enough to get your jobs perfectly done most of the time. However, using dual screen monitors is much easier and faster in performing and even multitasking.

By providing you an extra large working space, two screen monitors help users greatly in improving their productivity, organizing their tasks, optimizing their productivity, and fasting your work progress.

Moreover, dual screen monitors are easy to set up and simple to use. As long as you can take advantage of it for work and things you love, all the downsides and waste in resources cannot be compared to all the benefits that you have received.
