Widescreen Computer Monitor

Frankly, there's no better way to increase productivity on your computer than by getting a widescreen computer monitor. While a mini LCD monitor could serve the same purpose to increase your work screen it's just not as practical and convenient. Attaching a dual display to your existing monitor requires software to install and just doesn't look as impressive.

With a widescreen computer monitor, you don't have to worry about focusing on two different screens which can give you a bit of a headache. Instead, you can do everything on one screen. With more room on your screen, you can open more windows and work on several applications simultaneously. You can either divide the screen into two with two windows open side by side or even four, with one in each corner.

When you are busy working on several things at once, it can be incredibly annoying to have to close windows to view another. Sometimes you find that you have lots of applications open and it feels like a bit of a juggling act. This can seriously reduce your efficiency to work effectively and can waste considerable amount of time.

Widescreen computer screens are huge, with the standard size being around 21 inches. This gives you more space to get organized and do more. Not only do you have more space to work, but you can enjoy better clarity. Lots of widescreen monitors are HD and provide brilliant detail as well as color. For graphics designers this is very helpful since it helps provide a better idea of the finished product.

Commonly the widescreen computer monitor has a 16:9 display, which is the current standard for most digital TV programs. You'll find that most video sites online also offer the ability to view videos in widescreen. This means you get to enjoy movies and television as it's meant to be, without seeing the black bars.

You can easily turn your computer into a digital TV set by investing in a digital TV card. By doing this you can benefit from a dual purpose monitor and even save yourself from buying a new TV. Unlike analog, you can enjoy crystal clear digital broadcasts straight on your computer.

Since most computers have DVD drives you can also enjoy your movies in HD and widescreen format giving you an enhanced viewing experience.

That's not all, widescreen computer monitors are much more energy efficient compared to standard monitors as well as space saving. You will find new widescreen LCDs super compact as well as lightweight.
