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?

    I play on the right. That is also where I tend to keep videos and music open. Left is for general web browsing and the terminal.

    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.

    I play strictly on my left screen, but I couldn’t actually tell you why. The monitors are identical, and it’s no more of a strain to look at one over the other for extended periods. Left just feels right to me.

    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.

      Are they different in some way, so certain games look better or are easier to play on one of them? I think I could understand that more than the pure chaos of mixing it up on identical monitors.

        Not really. Sometimes it’s also just what mood I’m in. The left monitor is actually a much bigger TV with higher resolution but lower refresh rate. The right one is on an arm, curved, 165hz and hdr always works instead of some of the time but only 30 inches or so

        I just… Change them whenever. No real reason

          Ok, I can kind of see that. A giant screen is going to have a much different vibe than a closer fancy curved monitor.

            Here’s the thing though. The monitor is only close if I want it. It’s in a heavy duty arm and gets moved around a lot. The TV is further away by a significant margin because I can’t afford a TV stand atm considering I also can’t afford food. But I will just switch between TV and monitor for no rhyme or reason. Sometimes during the same session. Start on one, end on another

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

    My main monitor is centered but it is technically on the right. It has a smaller portrait monitor off to the side.

    Left screen is for the chord (fucken noons won’t get off it), and browser. Right is for gaming because its actually center of the desk.

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

    It’s fantastic for reading documentation and manga.
