    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?

      When not playing on it, it's usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.

          I do that with non first person games but I do like the immersive experience of having such a wide perspective especially as my screens are curvy

            Before I went ultrawide, I used to have my better monitor center, and my extra monitor to the left.

              Game on left, Wiki if need on right, drawing tablet on far right playing music or dialog heavy content.

              I'm left handed so that's the main reason for gaming on that side.

                The side doesn't matter to me. I have one screen in front and one to the side. The one in front is straight ahead just like a setup with only one monitor. My second monitor is some Dell 1280x1024 monitor from 2004 or something. It fits stuff like Mumble, Spotify, or documentation for something I might be working on.

                    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.

                      I use my two monitors in this configuration. (Not my image)

                      It's fantastic for reading documentation and manga.

                          Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn't... hehe.

                            Bought three monitors so I don't have to think about this (also the side ones are portrait)

                                One game client on each ... or what is the point of playing with 2 monitors?

                                    When I used to have two monitors, it was never right and left; it was always center and side.
