It's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd mention a thing or two before busy season hits. We've always had some pain points when it comes to working in the field. All of our uses have at least two monitors in the office (some have three). One of the consistent comments from the users is that they would like a very portable second monitor for them to take to a client's office. We've tried the Porter Case route for the full size desktop monitors but no one really used it (too bulky and hard to transport for our standard one week or less trips). We've also tried having our clients provide additional monitors but the small clients don't always have extras to share.
Our next option is the Samsung 21.5" Notebook LCD Display. I'm going to a client with a team on Monday and we'll be taking two with us for testing. It will especially interesting to see how the monitors hold up on the train (3-4 hrs). I'll post about our experience.
One thing to note about this monitor is that we tried to use the USB connection but the drivers didn't work on Windows 7 Professional x64 so we're using an analog monitor cable.
How do you deal with multiple displays in the field? Please post responses in the comments.
