How to Harness the Potential of 2 Screens on a Windows 10 Computer
Unlocking the Potential of Multiple Screens on a Computer
Preparation
Expand your workspace: A spacious desk will help you arrange two screens simultaneously.
Consider buying two identical models at the same time because the chosen model may be out of stock later, and if you buy it later, you might have to choose a different type.
Connecting two different types of screens can lead to various complications, causing misalignment of displayed content and impacting the overall experience.
Arrangement
Arrange for comfortable viewing angles. Use an Ergotron or VESA standard monitor stand. Position the screens optimally for visibility. Opt for models with external mounts.
Vertical alignment of screens allows for more efficient space utilization. In limited spaces, consider adding an external stand to stack screens vertically for additional room below.
Note: Organize your cable mess strategically to save space.
Maximize Input Ports
Despite having multiple input ports, use them judiciously to avoid purchasing additional converters that not only occupy space but also incur additional costs. For example, use one port for the main PC and another for external connections.
Utilize Shortcuts and Software
If you're using Windows, try using the combination of Windows key + left or right arrow keys to snap the active window to the edge of the screen.
Optimize Mouse Settings
Increase mouse speed for easy high-speed navigation and swift movement across screens.
Customize the size and color of the mouse for better visibility: Go to Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key under Pointer Options in the Mouse Properties section.
