The BVU160 permits even notebook users to add up to six additional monitors to their computers without having to add expensive internal components. Now higher productivity can be reached simply and affordably whether it's for a large business or the home office user. "Studies show that dual monitors can increase productivity anywhere from 20-50%, so imagine what adding up to six can do," added Zaman.
