Eighteen months ago I wrote about the efficiency benefits of using multiple monitors. That blog post caught the eye of the folks at Sewell Direct. They are looking for folks to participate in a short survey about the benefits of multiple monitors:
"Basically we’re investigating whether there is a correlation between the number and size of one’s monitors and how much they make. While there has been a lot of talk about how they increase your productivity, we’re aiming to find out if full-time workers using larger/more displays are actually paid more."
You can participate in the very short, anonymous 5-question survey here.
Just before I went out and bought a 27" iMac, an IT friend of mine suggested buying a second monitor instead. One of the best decisions I ever made. Especially for inputting corrections, I place my PDF on one screen, and InDesign doc on the other. Thinking about getting a third for email.
ReplyDeleteWe use dual monitors for our yearbook. We open the page we're working-on on one monitor and the photos on the other. Makes dragging and dropping quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteHi Keith,
ReplyDeleteWere the results of this survey published?
Bill Gates and Al Gore use 3 screen setups and they earn a pretty good income.
@Kevin, I've never seen the results of the survey, unfortunately.
