Earlier this week I implemented a flat panel HD monitor for my office setup. For the past 15 years, I have been a laptop addict and only splurged on the monitor since it will also double as my HD video conferencing monitor. As I reflect on the past few days of service from having two monitors, I remembered a suggestion that I had received a year ago from David Levy, the CEO of the Ottawa-area company, Objectworld.
David said:
The best way to improve software developer productivity – give them a dual monitor.
That's because the larger screen footprint is larger workspace and fewer instances of application search (find the right application).
