Your second monitor?

[cGev]

I would like to know what you guys use your second monitor for? Is it the same size/resolution as your main? Is it tilted? If you would prefer, provide an image with a typical look.

I use the exact same monitor. I've seen some vloggers go different even vertical, but to each their own. I know the guy Im thinking of Joker or whatever isnt into stocks, I think hes a programmer. I've seen some people do one but go like so wide like 55", which I dont like.

i just have like 3-4 laptops set up at once and some cheap acer 1080p 23" monitor thrown in there sometimes

Previously like pretty young times I was using two 4:3 monitors and it was very comfortable especially while working or just researching something. Then in a temporary work, I had to work with the computer provided by them, I was using the Windows 10 multi desk feature which I think nicely replaces dual monitors. Anyway, my upcoming 4 years are probably gonna be in a dorm, the problem is the desks are not big, like enough to fit a 4:3 monitor or standard ~23" vertically alongside with the 23" I have

I have 5 monitors, typically I'll have a video or something playing in the top left monitor, often a VN I'm playing on the bottom left. The central monitor for a web browser and main gaming monitor. Right portrait is often used for monitoring the system, though I'll have my music player on it fairly often. Left portrait is normally used for a web browser for text based pages or if I'm working on a text document. 

 

This is what I have open at the moment.

1080P as my main and WSXGA+ as secondary. Secondary is mostly used for notes when I'm working on assignments and generally where I'll put the applications for the host system when I'm running a remote desktop connection on the main. I would like to try to have one above my main, but I don't have the room for that.

As a full-time college student forced to use a tiny desk, nothing is too small. I usually use my second monitor to control Spotify, assist with coding, check Discord when playing games, and find sources for when writing papers. Both these monitors are slightly different sized (due to model) 1080p 24" Samsungs.

 

Excuse my grainy photo quality.

I can't stand it when they don't match, so when I was running dual monitors they were most definitely the same.

I game on one and have YouTube on the other, or a spreadsheet open on one and browsing on the other.

Or, most common, browsing on one with eBay open on the second.
