While countless articles try to give the rundown on how to use so much extra real estate to do more in less time, there’s not much help in the communication department.
Allow us to change that.
Read on for a comprehensive road warrior’s guide to efficient communication and seamless workflows in your triple monitor setup.
Start By Setting It Up Right
This triple monitor setup is widely compatible, and it works on macOS, Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Samsung Dex with a USB C or USB A port. It comes in two 1080p full HD display size options: 13.3” and 14.1”; simply choose one closest to your laptop’s specifications for color accuracy and attention to detail in visuals. Consider checking out Black Friday laptop deals and Black Friday monitor deals to get the best prices on your setup. You need two HDMI cables and one DisplayPort for plug-and-play. But, if your setup doesn’t support it, you might need to invest in an HDMI splitter adapter to multiply available screen space by two. Always read the manufacturer’s label before purchase to avoid costly compromises. Also, check all cable connections before every meeting to avoid faulty connections, flickering screens, or worse, a complete loss of signal.Pay Attention to Your Graphics Card
If you do graphic-intensive work, consider boosting your laptop’s performance with an external graphics card for high-speed and high-resolution data transfers. Note that it might not allow you to use all ports simultaneously. Should that happen, you can invest in a USB-to-HDMI converter. It will take video data from the USB cable and convert it into a High-Definition Multimedia Interface. If you want to transmit uncompressed data, you’ll need to download the adapter driver from the manufacturer’s website to tackle the finer details. If you have it already, update it regularly to keep performance issues at bay.
Set Projection Mode and Alignment
Depending on the scope of the meeting, you can press Ctrl + P to open a window and choose to display your setup as PC screen only, mirror or extend, and second screen only. You can even rearrange your displays and keep them in your chosen setting even if you use only two screens instead of all three—just use the NVIDIA Control Panel.Start the Presentation
This triple monitor for laptops has a second-stage sliding mechanism and an eye-care mode that facilitates a better work experience. It does so in two ways:- Through adjustable brightness (up to 250 nits) to prevent eye strain.
- Through its freestanding functionality and a built-in kickstand, it will keep your head and neck in a neutral position and prevent musculoskeletal issues.
