Trips.

An old piece from slashgear that I came across some time ago. Needless to say, if I had 3 monitors on my desk right now I wouldn't be resting my arms on a sea of paper (most of which are one time print jobs for reference against work on my PC).

Triple-LCD setup boosts performance by over 35% claim researchers

While many people are still struggling to find the desk space (and money) for a dual-monitor setup, according to Fujitsu and the Fraunhofer IAO laboratory we should actually be squeezing three displays into our workspace if we want real performance improvements. Compared to users completing tasks on a single 19-inch LCD, those with three such screens linked together saw a 35.5-percent jump in efficiency.

A third group of testers had a 22-inch widescreen monitor, which increased their productivity over the single 19-inch group by 8.4-percent. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the users themselves were reportedly more happy with their bigger, multi-screen setups.

Fujitsu are now looking to use the research in their product development. However, unless they’re planning a dual-sliding version of the Lenovo W700ds (now that we’d like to see) we’re not sure how that would differ from them saying “go on, buy another few monitors, please?”
