Why you (probably) need two screens on your computer
Do you spend a lot of time on social media sites, reading blogs or news websites, or performing most any other text-based activity?
If so, you could probably benefit from adding a second screen to your computer.
You can leave the first screen oriented horizontally in “landscape” mode for watching videos and performing other tasks that simply work better that way, and rotate the second screen into a vertical “portrait” orientation for reading long blocks of text, Facebooking and doing other things that work better with a vertical screen.
Trust me, once you give portrait mode a try you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
