Usability in Multiple Monitor Displays

This study was designed to examine the impact of multiple monitor use on user performance. Additionally, multitasking was evaluated as a mediational factor in performance. Twenty four students were tasked to create a web page using Macromedia\u27s Dreamweaver, as well as several video tutorials, Microsoft Office applications, and a web browser. Twelve participants interacted with a four-monitor display, and twelve used a traditional single-monitor setup. Those who used the quad-panel display were more inclined to multitask, where multitasking was evaluated between application windows, not between monitors - i.e. not exclusive to the multiple monitor setup. Participants of the multiple monitor group also scored more favorably on performance measures than those using the single monitor. In addition, users who multitasked finished objectives more quickly than those who used a sequential approach. Qualitative analysis also revealed usability issues within each setup

The Effect of Multiple Monitor Display on User Performance and Multi-tasking

An experimental study was conducted to examine the impact of multiple monitors on user performance and multitasking. Forty-three participants were assigned to two groups: a multi-monitor group and a single-monitor group, to carry out a series of tasks. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. Results indicated that those who used the multi-monitor display were more inclined to multitask, and scored higher on performance measures than those using the single monitor. Interviews from the participants validated the quantitative results and provided additional insights on usability issues of multi-monitor displays
