Or I suppose you could be some kind of crazy person who switches it up per game.
I assume you three-monitor people use the middle one, but I’d be interested to hear if that’s the case?
Main game on my center screen. RuneScape and/or Discord/web browser on my side screen.
Game right screen, left screen is vertical since it’s mostly for text based things.
I have this except it’s mirrored.
At work I have two landscape screens with right one being primary. This way I stretch my neck both sides a bit.
This is the way.
Game on the left, everything else on the right
4-6 screens… EvE Online player who has a different account on each screen. Primary is lower left, the alts all get scattered on the others. And screens 5/6 are technically a seperate PC, but I use Synergy to share a mouse and keyboard.
Most games live on screen 1, which is also routed through a capture card. (I need to fix the audio passthrough, project for future me)
3 - 4
1 - 2 = 5 - 6

Sanity is overrated.
Plus most of it is old office equipment saved from the trash. Only stuff that I purchased is the gaming PC when thats due for a rebuild and all the wires…

When I used to have two monitors, it was never right and left; it was always center and side.
Which was the center, and which was the side? Like, I’m assuming most/a large portion of people with 2 monitors have one straight on and the secondary monitor offset, but is the secondary monitor offset to the left, or offset to the right?
Eh, I switched it up, but mostly to the right.
One game client on each … or what is the point of playing with 2 monitors?
Bought three monitors so I don’t have to think about this (also the side ones are portrait)
One potrait for chats, other landacape for web browser.
Mostly for work so a chat, code, documentation
my primary monitor is my right screen, so I put all my stuff i need to focus on on my right screen, so right is my answer.
I use my two monitors in this configuration. (Not my image)
It’s fantastic for reading documentation and manga.
I assume you three-monitor people use the middle one
Yes.
(I have 3 identical 1440p monitors.)
Although if I decided I wanted to play a racing or flight sim game, I might try to set it up to use all three (total 7680x1440). I’d also consider playing something like a FPS or strategy game on all three screens turned 90 degrees (total 4320x2560), but the last time I tried doing that was a long time ago (back then I had 1080p screens) and I don’t think I ever managed to get the configuration to work because most games aren’t designed to span across monitors.
The side doesn’t matter to me. I have one screen in front and one to the side. The one in front is straight ahead just like a setup with only one monitor. My second monitor is some Dell 1280x1024 monitor from 2004 or something. It fits stuff like Mumble, Spotify, or documentation for something I might be working on.
Game on left, Wiki if need on right, drawing tablet on far right playing music or dialog heavy content.
I’m left handed so that’s the main reason for gaming on that side.
Amateurs u should have 4 screens. 3 for game and 4th for wiki
One for the game, one for the official wiki, some for the unofficial wiki, and one for discord.
Some people here must have really stiff necks. I’ve got 2 screens and play on my gaming screen, which is right in front of me. The secondary screen is to the right.
I play in the screen centered in front of me, the second screen is off to the side. I’ve changed the second screen side over the years.
So the middle of the two screens!
