What do you use your second monitor for?

[middleclasspoor]

Primary monitor for gaming/browsing, secondary monitor for monitoring my system using the "Resource Monitor" and also to monitor my security system video feed.

[Guest]

I use my second monitor for precision X, my recording software, and browsing.

[Suspectmammal]

having multiple webpages open, gaming on one screen while having teampseak, spotify and dxtory on the other. just pretty much all around multitasking

[zeiferlance]

2nd Monitor (32" TV) - watching downloaded movies and tv series and local news while browsing/working on something on my main monitor.

Main Monitor (BenQ RL2450H) for games. 

[TechTheWorld]

I use it for internet browsing. And my main for editing and gaming. That way I can watch tutorials and not have to switch between stuff(duh).

[Carrionz]

Music production on one, internet on the other :)

 

Sometimes, music software frame on one monitor and mixer and sequencer on the other.

[bagahr7]

Outlook, iTunes, some research, during work for firefox and the main for visual studio, network folders .... nearly for everything other guys with one monitor have to minimize the windows. i just put it on my second monitor

[brownninja97]

Naughty things heheehhehe.

No i watched an 18 movie on it and im only 16

[WildTurtle]

Doing research on one and doing more research on the other.

[Hasufein]

Generally skype, media player, browser, messenger, etc :D

[Dudenstein]

My second monitor is for a secondary browser, spotify/iTunes, my instant messenger client, and generally any additional small programs I want running at the time

[unknowngamerfreak]

I usually use my 3 2560x1440 display for surround gaming but lately I have been using my Center display for gaming, my Left monitor for movies/ videos and the Right for browsing the internet or forums for games and what not.

[Torg73]

Use my 2nd monitor mostly for internet stuff like email, searching the internet, viewing youtube, watching TV.  I also use it when am monitoring my computer temps on CPU-Z/ Speccy.  Am on windows 8 so having a 2nd monitor is very useful and I think I use it more then when I had windows 7.

[FireFox]

I don't have a second monitor but if I did I'd use it to monitor resources and temperatures

[Blackterror25]

I use my main monitor for whatever I'm doing (gaming,...) and I have 2 browsers next to each other on my second monitor with 1 playing a youtube video from my subscriber box and the other window has facebook.

[vanwazltoff]

i typically have 2 or 3 internet pages up so i put 2 on my big screen then i use my other screen for folder browsing, mounting .isos to flash drives, utorrent etc. so main monitor gaming, movies or split screen web pages, second ary monitor for folders, programs, hardware monitoring when i am gaming, utorrent, air vpn, etc.

 

when i dont feel like i am being particularly productive i usually just turn off my secondary. i used to easily fill up 3 smaller monitors, now i have a 27" and 21.5", i find thats all i need though i do miss triple monitor gaming

[Human_Error()]

I mostly use 3 monitors for when I am coding. In the center monitor I have the actual page of code I am working on. On the left screen I have the manual or library for that particular IDE to actually help me know what I am doing :). On my right screen I have simulations running continuously of the code. I love it as in its super efficient! Other than that I just use only one monitor for gaming purposes.

[same472]

I use mine for YouTube full screen and pc projects on my first.

[Fonil]

Left : varies between Chrome and VLC for the most part

 

Center : Game / Chrome / Adobe product / 

 

Right : Utorrent / Aida 64 / Windows Explorer / chrome / Foobar2000 / Asus Xonar Audio Center

 

My Left and Center Tend to by more of my productivity monitors 

 

Something like this wouldn't be uncommon 

 

[Smeyer40]

Well I have a 23inch monitor 1920x1080 and a 1024x720 17 inch monitor. The 1080p is obviously for Gaming and such but the other is used for recording software when I am play PC games or using the Elgato game capture with my PS3

[deafboy]

Left monitor:  Videos

Center Monitor:  Whatever I am working on

Right Monitor:  Varies.  Generally a folder or a browser to use for research

[Nirmal]

When web browsing, I just split the tabs into two windows and have each one on one monitor. And when I learning stuff (programming, video editing, etc.) I have a guide open on one monitor and I do the work on the other.

[ProGearUk]

I usually use it for just facebook or system monitoring or reading the news while I have a game open on my main 24 inch monitor. I sometimes also use it when I am doing video editing or after effects as well as photoshop work.

[ShearMe]

I put Spotify on Fullscreen with Teamspeak and Skype 1/2 and 1/2 on top. If I'm doing anything whilst gaming it goes on the second screen.

 

27" main - 20" secondary
