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?

    My left monitor is placed more directly in front, while my right monitor is more angled. I generally use the left as my “primary” and the right as the “secondary”, though they’re identical otherwise.

      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?

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Game on the left monitor. My left monitor is directly in front of my chair, though. Right monitor is portrait for browser, discord and whatever else I need at the time. The whole setup flipped (🔄) when I moved my desk last week, though.

    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.

    I use my two monitors in this configuration. (Not my image)

    It’s fantastic for reading documentation and manga.
