Yes, and most of the time I don't need it. But when I'm copying and pasting from one document to another, I love it.
I also like it when I'm sharing my screen in remote or hybrid meetings. |

Computer monitor? Omg yes. I held off for awhile because I thought I was pretty good at working with just one. But it's probably been 10 years since I went with 2 and let me tell you, it's SO MUCH BETTER.
Most people's work involves some amount of comparing documents, or writing an email while looking at something else. Even being able to have MS Teams open on one side while working on the other. |

| I use one external alongside the laptop monitor. That's technically two. However, I don't work with spreadsheets or PowerPoint. |

| I need 2 screens. For me they can be 1 laptop + 1 monitor, or 2 monitors. |

| I LOVED having to external monitors when I was in the office. Got no room at home for them, though. If you do, GET them! |

| I have 3 monitors and use all three every day. My husband insisted that his team each get an extra monitor when he started at his current job. The team doubled their productivity in the first month. They work with spreadsheets and construction drawings all day. Being able to see both documents at the same time made their tasks easier to do and they were able to work faster. |

How do you control what appears on each monitor?
Can you tell I have been out of the workforce for 10 years? |
