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?
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.
I play strictly on my left screen, but I couldn’t actually tell you why. The monitors are identical, and it’s no more of a strain to look at one over the other for extended periods. Left just feels right to me.
It just feels left you mean. 😆
Game left, wiki on the right for help files.
This
Bottom (32") is games. Top (32") is for a browser. Top left (24") is for cameras. Bottom left (15") is touchscreen for music player. Right (same make/model as top) is portrait mode for discord, steam, and system monitor. The three 32" pull double duty as work monitors during work hours.
And even then, you’re still usually just scrolling on your phone.
I’ve got three monitors, but of the two 28s I use the right one, which is also the Center one. The third monitor is a little 22 that mostly gets used for Element and Discord
Like any good question: It depends (on the setup). I usually game(d) on the monitor closest to the PC because i would sit in the middle of the desk with the monitors offset to the opposite side of the PC—this obviously meant the monitor nearest the PC was in the middle and therefore my most natural primary monitor.
I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life, when I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I’m playing on currently at the bottom.
When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.
What do you use the virtual monitor for?
When not playing on it, it’s usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.
How would one access it? Is it like network streaming?
I never really thought about it as left and right monitors, but my main monitor (30" 16:10) is centered and my secondary monitor (27" 9:16 vertical) is off to the right.
Game on the right but that’s because my right monitor is the good monitor. The left one is a glorified TV.
Left. My left monitor is a 40" ultrawide, the right is a portrait-mode 27" for discord and such. I keep the big one on the left because I don’t have most of the field of vision in my left eye, so if the main one is centered and the second is on the right I can look over and see it more easily.
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.
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!
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.
