An Extra Monitor
Nowadays, I guess every graduate student has a laptop, whereas not everyone has an extra monitor connected to their computer. I used to see some of my colleagues purchase another bigger monitor to connect to their laptops, and I thought that was really redundant and I would never need to do that. However, when I am writing more and more papers, I know what I thought before is totally wrong. A small laptop monitor is not enough for me, because I find it very exhausting to switch desktop frequently. Thus, I changed my mind, I bought a new and big monitor to help me out.
With this extra monitor, I become more efficient and I really enjoy the convenience it brings to me. I am also happy about the price, which only cost me 90 dollars. Thanks to the advancement of technology, electronic equipment become cheaper so I can get such a good deal.
In the future, if other graduate students ask me for advice about whether to buy another monitor, I will definitely say yes!

An Extra Monitor
Nowadays, I guess every graduate student has a laptop, whereas but ("whereas" is ok, but "but" works better here) not everyone has an extra monitor connected to their computer. I used to see some of my colleagues purchase another bigger monitor to connect to their laptops, and I thought that was really redundant and I would never need to do that. However, when I am writing more and more papers the more papers I write (More concise to write it this way), I realize what I thought before is totally wrong. A small laptop monitor is not enough for me, because I find it very exhausting to switch the desktop frequently. Thus, I changed my mind and I bought a new and big monitor to help me out.With this extra monitor, I have become more efficient and I really enjoy the convenience it brings to ("to" is optional here. I would probably omit it) me. I am also happy with the price, which only cost me was only (More natural to say "was only", though what you wrote is ok) 90 dollars. Thanks to the advancement of technology, electronic equipment has become cheaper so I can which has enabled me to get such a good deal.
In the future, if other graduate students ask me for advice about whether to buy another monitor, I will definitely say yes!

Thank you, Andy! Hopping between windows definitely waste a lot of time and is annoying. Well, my roommate and I are going to buy a television, it's good to hear that it is so cheap!

Nice article. More monitor space can help productivity. I am lazy and don't plug in my TV to my laptop. I am fairly used to the laptop monitor by itself but more space could improve my time during one-on-one tutoring so I don't have to hop between windows. I'd say it would save 5 minutes per lesson but that adds up a lot over time, over many lessons. Large, off brand televisions can be quite inexpensive in the USA, less than $100 USD which for here is a steal.

Hhahaha in Mexico we have a phrase "Mas tarda en caer un hablador que un cojo" I guess in english is something like it is easier to talkative people felt down than a lame people. Never mind just that.

Thank you for your advice! You are right, the laptop always makes my neck and shoulder uncomfortable! Perhaps I will buy a keyboard and mouse in the near future!
