dual monitors

Paired display setup

Dual monitors refers to a computer setup using two display screens connected to a single machine.

The arrangement expands workspace, allowing users to spread applications across screens—a document on one, reference material on the other: I can't go back to a single screen after working with dual monitors.

The setup is standard in offices, trading floors, and among programmers and gamers who benefit from the extra real estate.
