When I started at UC Denver, I was given a laptop and a 19 inch widescreen monitor so that I could set up dual screens. Dual screens are so much more productive (especially if you split the screens so that you have two work surfaces). All of the imaging workstations and scan stations have dual screens now. As a result, they are starting to roll out dual screens to all users in Financial Aid. It turns out that there was a mistake with ordering the screens and one of the scan stations didn't get matching screens. I decided to order a new screen for myself and put my old matching 19 inch widescreen on the scan station. I tried to order another 19 inch widescreen, but Dell kept telling me that it was back ordered. After a few months of waiting, I got frustrated and looked elsewhere. I found a great deal on a ViewSonic 22 inch widescreen HD LCD monitor. It was cheaper than the Dell 19 inch screen and I figured that the additional space wouldn't go to waste. I went ahead and ordered it. It just arrived today and I can hardly believe how large it is. Especially next to my 14 inch laptop screen. It's huge! I'm posting a picture of the dual screen set up so that you can see what I'm talking about. I am enjoying the new monitor and LOVE the extra space. This will make creating Singularity workflows so much easier.

Yay!!!
I have dual screens on my desk here at home, but one of them is a 19 flat screen TV, so I can work and listen to TV at the same time. Multi-task much? why yes! I also do my nails and read at the same time as the other two above things. LOL
