Thinking Triple Monitor ! (plus my tablet !)

Was experimenting today with the large LCD turned sideways for .pdf viewing.

It was a WIN !

I essentially wanted to view scanned PDFs without using the mouse to use the scrollbar.

So the monitor had to be a certain size.

Widescreen LCDs ... by default ... are big IN THE WRONG DIRECTION .. for document viewing.

Solution: flip them sideways.

I am not sure I can afford the space in every exam room but for my "WORK POD" room (between patients) I think it will rock the house !

For the pods, I think I need 3 screens

(1) Synapse

(2) PDF viewing / document viewing.

(3) Internal Messaging and TODOs.

I might do 2 17 inch square LCD on top of each other and the sideways widescreen to the right.

woOT ! To view the setup it its own window: click here

No Smile The .pdf viewing is so large and readable that my 1.3 Megapixel camera was good enough to enable the .jpg to be readable !

here is side by side viewing, you can zoom in easily with control button + mouse wheel !

Re: Thinking Triple Monitor ! (plus my tablet !)

Most apps, including Synapse, popup their popups to the "Primary" monitor as defined by Windows. I originally thought this was a bad thing as I would want the popups to be on the monitor I was using Synapse. So if Synapse was running on the Secondary monitor the popups would go to the other (Primary) monitor ... I originally didnt like that idea. However, I really like it now Smile and I am going to switch all my monitors to this configuration !
