Just added a second monitor to my setup and I’m curious…what do you guys use it for? So far I’ve just been keeping my Apple Music playlists pulled up for easy song skipping without exiting my game.

Discord, OBS, Visual Studio Code, or reading documents. That’s also where Microsoft Teams goes for work. Sometimes a browser if I’m browsing at the same time as gaming.
Porn.
I don’t have a second monitor. Just one big Ultrawide. I don’t like distractions while I’m playing games.
hentai while playing summer time saga on main monitor
I’m pretty cautious about making sure my computer temps are not too high when gamin, so i keep adrenaline software open on second monitor to monitor temps/fps. It also helps me see when frame time spikes occur so i can fiddle with settings until they stop. Nothing particularly interesting tbh
Whatever I want usually
Liveleaks so i can feel something
My second monitor is usually connected to my work laptop.
Got rid of it because I don’t need a second monitor to just look at Discord.
Don’t have one.
Discord and internet mostly
Running Inara and other useful websites for planning routes and finding things when playing Elite Dangerous.
To play youtube and twitch that I don’t pay any actual attention to while I play games on my main monitor.
Discord and YouTube while playing games the don’t require full attention. And monitoring software like hardware info 64.
Basketball clips while gaming
Had two monitors for 3 years added a third about a month ago, yesterday I got rid of the 2nd and 3rd, so much more space on my desk and I realized I almost never have a reason for more than one
Nothing. Second monitors are played out.
Anime, shows or movies, when the main game has no story.
Teams / discord or sports on in the background while working/gaming

i switched to a vertical setup with a widescreen because i previously had 2 adjacent screens and began getting neck pain over the years. neck pain was completely gone in 2 days.
I leave rule 34 up as the desktop background to see how long it takes to burn in.
Nice setup this
Typically, YouTube or other background tasks, if I’m not gaming. Sometimes, I even have the TV connected, as the third screen, just for fun.

Right screen is game, left screen is documentary, laptop shows current space and sun weather while the little pc screen shows current Schuhmann frequency.
Currently? A thousand Elden Ring wiki and youtube tabs while playing.. I’m a completionist.
Twitch and discord mainly
Browser, video player, etc
2nd? I dont have a 2nd one
Porn
The more on the screens, the less I have to think about my problems!
just something I’m thinking about
cases with vertical GPUs should be the norm
GPU sag is getting scarier and scarier each day, clearly the ATX layout isn’t good anymore
we need to evolve!
Bro how do you have such a massive gaming rig but a 10 cm2 mouse pad
That setup is really pretty, what’s your case?
In my 30s my setup looked like this but matrix green with the scrolling text, i miss the 00s. Im old.
Hwinfo
I like to see my laptop’s complete situations.
What case is that OP?
OMG I love this setup, colours and all.
Hate to be that guy but PSA: be careful how you view your 2nd monitor. It can put a strain on your back very subtly over time and you may end up with back pain and a muscular imbalance. Very common in my clients and it took me years to fix mine.
