Check out this "over-under" design! The RFT-2L19 is made by [Neuro Logic Systems, Inc](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodbe-app). This beauty was originally made for the [U.S. Navy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undersea-vehicle), but can now spend some peacetime in the comfort of your own home.

The NLS site describes, "NLS has released the world's first [dual 19-inch LCD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lc-m49qck) in a vertical format. The RFT-2L19 is the world's first dual 19-inch flat panel that fits into 2U of rackspace in a RETMA rack or transport case. When pulled out for use, the 2 LCDs open in a vertical format reducing the amount of space traditional side-by-side units require. The pitch of the displays take into account the optimum viewing angles for the operator and reduces the amount of "up-time" involved in using two separate monitors."
