How to Work Effectively

This article will focus on the basic configurations of an office workstation with Two Monitors.

There are two basic settings for a dual monitor setup, “Mirrored” and “Extended.” Each one offers distinct advantages.

Both settings are better than a single monitor approach in the IMI oppinion. We ourselves wouldn’t work any other way.
