What happens when that one screen craps out?

I see I am late to the party again.

Not sure about demotivational speakers but you can get your demotivational posters here. I own several of them and sometimes use this saying as my "status" in Skype for Business.

Tcoat is right, it's for redundancy. We have 2 batteries, 2 generators, 2 computers, 2 sets of controls, and we can switch them back and forth or condense them onto one screen as necessary. There is even a minimal 3rd backup system on a little tiny screen and it's own little battery. Also I think the price of a screen goes up exponentially with it's size sometimes. Maybe that's more for what they get at sale than cost but it seems how it is.

And it's interesting how dramatic the effect of turning one off is. Part of the old pre-takeoff check is to verify operation of both.
