Two monitors are stupid. Ultra wides are stupid. My 48" monitor has a ultra wide mode. and its stupid. no one's ultra wide has a 48" 16:9 mode. ... stupid.

Bad question?

If it’s not for gaming on your gaming PC then why is a second screen a must? Can’t you just alt tab to see whatever you need to see?

i cant do two things at the same time with alt tabbing no. Like playing civ while watching youtube.

Some of these responses are actually blowing my mind.

Do you all have such low attention spans that you need to actively be doing something else WHILE gaming? When I'm gaming, I consider it to be a dedicated task. In fact, I sometimes use it as an opportunity to block out other distractions. If you're splitting your focus in such a way, how are you paying any attention at all to the game you're playing? If you're not paying attention, what's the point?

It depends on the game. I dont watch youtube while playing some games, bzt in games like civ? Yeah i'm watching youtube.

Two monitors can be very useful for work or stuff that require multitasking, like game devving or 3d modeling, among many others.

 

[Mahavastu]

can't imaging having only one display, so a second screen is a must.
But then I do also work on those devices and need to see more

Never gave a crap about having more than one monitor so it'll be a super easy choice.

Ah okay, I generally don’t play strategy games so never even considered watching YouTube while gaming, would just mess up my gaming.

Best PC possible

I honestly don't get it.. "why not both" is the obvious response here.

Anyway, I use three screens at work, but never felt the need for more than one at home.

I think second monitor is dumb, I can only look at one, and like to concentrate on doing one thing at a time. Also alt-tab exists.

I don't want a high end PC because they use too much electricity and would be heating up the room. Probably louder with more fans and bleeding edge often has coil wine, and more "pioneer" issues than lower end. I guess I could undervolt though. So I'll choose that.

And rather one god-tier monitor, instead of multiple budget ones. Hope it doesn't have fans though.
