TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Why would a tech writer need two monitors, let alone three, which
sounds like an ergonomic nightmare?
I can only look in one place at a time and I can context-switch with
keyboard shortcuts and my KVM switch as fast as I could look at a
different screen. Large displays with 16:9 aspect ratios provide such
huge desktops that I can treat them like two displays anyway.
