Can twin displays work for the latest Microsoft Teams Room’s new Front Row super-wide aspect ratio screens?
I don’t recommend it!
The new 21:9 Front Row display features a centred content window, meaning it’s split down the middle by the gap between the two displays.
If the viewers at the back need to read the content, then we use AVIXA’s DISCAS standard to drive the size of the content window NOT the overall display.
Increasing image size with twin screens is a double whammy. As both screens increase in size, the outside edges are blocked from view by other people down the side of the table.
Those red arrows below track the centreline of both displays.
Needing displays with image sizes of a scale not previously used - and with new aspect ratios too - Microsoft is using projection to deliver the best user experiences. Equity for everyone in the room.
