How do you have your dual monitor set up?

They're touching so that they somewhat form the top sides of a triangle.

I have my main monitor in offset to the right, other one offset to the left.

Considering getting a third one since I have a cheap source.

At home, my main one is in front of me, and my second is to the right.

 

At my apartment at school, the main one is slightly to the left and the second one is slightly to the right due to space restrictions.

 

In both scenarios, the two monitors touch.

For example do you have one directly in front of you and the other on the righ/left of it or have your main in front of you once again and the other directly above it or do you have half of one monitor in the middle and the other half on the opposing side, 

 

I sit in the middle of the two approx and have the two monitors in a very shallow V shape so I can just turn my head or chair between the two easily with my left one being my main monitor in Windows.

do you game like this as in without having the gaming monitor not directly in front of  you

 

I game on the left monitor and have my stuff for monitor temps and etc on the other usually, but it's not that big of a difference for me since I just turn myself a little to the right or left especially since i have a fairly large area on the desk I can rotate my mouse and keyboard very easily if I wanted to.

Honestly, not really. I just like having my main monitor being directly in front of me, especially when I'm playing games on it. That way I don't have to angle my head slightly when doing stuff on the primary monitor.

 

If you're asking about the monitors touching for productivity purposes, then yeah I guess so. Plus I'm really anal about having that awkward gap in between multi monitor setups, so I make sure they always touch.

so no monitor is directly in front of you right?

Right. They're both offset slightly. The offset is very slight. It's more of a desk space issue than anything.

Main right in front (for games/work). The other is tilted in quite a bit on the left and my s340 tower is on the right.

Does anybody have them vertical? I am thinking about doing this. I don't see it done very much. I don't have the space to do them beside each other, and the monitor on the very top would be for skype calls, temps, netflix, etc.

Is that a triple monitor setup?
