If you and your staff are not utilizing multiple monitors, you are losing 20-40% productivity.
According to a study done by the Jon Peddie Research, productivity increases an average of 42% when using multiple monitors. Likewise, a study conducted by the University of Utah and NEC found 20% reduction in errors (plus reduced stress) for test workers that were using multiple monitors.
More and more firms are implementing additional displays for their staff in an effort to increase productivity, keep pace with "paperless" initiatives, and allow for easy comparison of documents.
In a recent edition of "The Journal of Accountancy" an article discussed the productivity benefits of 2, 3 or even 4 monitors to display multiple applications. The article also elaborates on the “techie” process to getting these monitors up and running. It sounds easy, but it can be a hassle if you’re not familiar with computer hardware.

Ergotron, makers of Digital Display Mounts, have a great tool on their website that helps calculate “payback” for adding multiple screens into your workspace.
