I love my dual displays. I’ll warn you in advance, if you ever go dual display, you will have a very difficult time going back to just one display. If you have just a laptop computer, an extra display is a must.
As a lawyer, I’m often working with two or more documents. I may be writing a response to a motion and have the original motion, similar documents, pdf versions of cases, and exhibits open as well. On a single monitor, you will be lucky to have two documents in view at the same time. With a dual display, I can almost have everything on the screen, in view, and usable simultaneously.
The ability to do so is a huge timesaver. If you like tabbing back and forth between multiple documents, continue wasting your time and make sure your mouse and keyboard are ergonomically friendly.
