The New Ultra-Wide – It’s Like 2 Monitors In One
Having had a dual monitor system for several years, I can say from experience that it’s more than what you see when you have all that extra monitor space to work with. Now there are some exciting new monitor options that provide the same work space (resolution) in a single monitor.
Real Advantages There are lots of ways that this extra desktop resolution can be helpful. As you get used to having the extra space, no doubt you will find lots of ways to utilize it. Here are some simple examples.
- Multiple Application Windows – Our INTERAC accounting applications allow users to open multiple windows in the software, so they can have more than one application open at a time. This makes it very easy to move between applications or functions without having to open and close screens.
- Going Paperless – With a Document Management System it is much easier to preview a document on one side while executing the data entry in the accounting application on the other. This eliminates the need to handle all that paper that has traditionally taken up so much space and time. (see the example picture)
- Keeping the Calendar and Email screens readily available – Most workers are tied to their electronic calendars and email systems and the extra resolution makes it easy to keep those screens open and available all the time.
- These ultra-wide monitors eliminate the complexity of configuring a dual-monitor system. With most current PC’s, it is a simple switch.
If you haven’t already, you should seriously consider this upgrade. Once you have, there will be no going back.
