Showsite/Travel Monitor

02/11/12 | by Troy Chollar [mail] | Categories: Personal

I work in a lot of locations that are not my office - where I have dual 23" monitors, my favorite keyboard-mouse-and trackpad, and really great speakers. What do I miss the most when I setup a temporary work station at a show? The extra monitor.

On the second monitor, for PPT I run the slide show and edit the slides on primary monitor or if editing a highly animated section I have a very large animation pane on it. I also use it for email, Windows Explorer windows and Lync.

For a few years I have traveled with a small 7" USB monitor, which was nice, but not really fully functional. Enter my newest "toy" - the Toshiba PA3923U-2LC3, a 14" USB monitor that is automatically recognized by Windows 7 and Mac OS Lion. And it more portable than the smaller monitor by folding into a thin portfolio case.

Here is my production computer at my temporary, backstage "office" on showsite this week in Puerto Rico.

I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. ThePowerPointBlog focuses on PowerPoint and multimedia development, all of which is hopefully helpful, fun, and at times entertaining. Enjoy!
