Why do you use dual or multiple monitors?

Just wondering what people use their other monitors for.

Many reasons, when I'm doing homework, it helps to have research/Ebooks open on one screen and my work open on the other.  when I'm just doing daily tasks like browsing the internet I like to have my email or the forums open on the other screen. When I'm playing games, I get to have youtube/twitch/iTunes open on tbe other monitor. When I'm coding or using 3D modeling it helps to have tools or displays on the other monitor, I can go on and on, but the point is that there is always a way to multitask.

Four screens for gaming, veterinary work, studies, gaming, reading, gaming, and finally veterinary work.

 

Also, it looks like "you have too much time on your hands".

Being able to watch full screen video while still working on another page without compromising, one great thing is when gaming also when you can monitor your temps and settings.

Obviously a variety of uses, but what pushed me over the top to do a multi monitor setup in the first place was so I could play a game and watch a show/movie at the same time. One of the most relaxing/enjoyable things for me to do to unwind is play something casual like grinding in an RPG or playing an online shooter while watching a good TV show.
