Or I suppose you could be some kind of crazy person who switches it up per game.

I assume you three-monitor people use the middle one, but I’d be interested to hear if that’s the case?

    My left monitor is placed more directly in front, while my right monitor is more angled. I generally use the left as my “primary” and the right as the “secondary”, though they’re identical otherwise.

    I play in the screen centered in front of me, the second screen is off to the side. I’ve changed the second screen side over the years.

    So the middle of the two screens!

    4-6 screens… EvE Online player who has a different account on each screen. Primary is lower left, the alts all get scattered on the others. And screens 5/6 are technically a seperate PC, but I use Synergy to share a mouse and keyboard.

    Most games live on screen 1, which is also routed through a capture card. (I need to fix the audio passthrough, project for future me)

    3 - 4

    1 - 2 = 5 - 6

    Some people here must have really stiff necks. I’ve got 2 screens and play on my gaming screen, which is right in front of me. The secondary screen is to the right.

    Game right screen, left screen is vertical since it’s mostly for text based things.

    Game on the left monitor. My left monitor is directly in front of my chair, though. Right monitor is portrait for browser, discord and whatever else I need at the time. The whole setup flipped (🔄) when I moved my desk last week, though.

    Yes.

    (I have 3 identical 1440p monitors.)

    Although if I decided I wanted to play a racing or flight sim game, I might try to set it up to use all three (total 7680x1440). I’d also consider playing something like a FPS or strategy game on all three screens turned 90 degrees (total 4320x2560), but the last time I tried doing that was a long time ago (back then I had 1080p screens) and I don’t think I ever managed to get the configuration to work because most games aren’t designed to span across monitors.

    Depends… my left monitor is an utlra-widescreen. Some games look/play great on that one. Other games feel/look better on the other monitor which isn’t quite as wide, but physically has more vertical height.
