    Many gamers have setups with two or monitors. Oftentimes these differ in size, resolution, even aspect ratio. They can be very helpful in productivity tasks, but mid-gameplay they rarely serve as more than displays for external music or chat. Are there games that utilize this extra space in a unique way and are played better or exclusively with two or more monitors? Preferably something more than just extra FOV

      Back in the day Supreme Commander could utilize a second monitor for a dedicated map that you could zoom in and out of independently of the main game window. I don't remember if you could do other things with it, but I thought it was pretty sweet with just that.

                    Simulators, like x-plane or flightsim, and I think some driving sims can use lots of monitors. Like 4 monitors for the cockpit windows and another two for control panels etc. though you need a hench pc and graphics set up to do this at a decent frame rate

                        Probably not quite what you meant but two monitors for Dwarf Fortress is a god send. Game on one screen, the other for DFHack console, Announcements, SoundSense, Dward Therapist, and various other utils. Could probably use 3 actually...

                          I don't think any driving sim can use a smaller monitor as a dash/timer natively. Most people do this through third party software like SimHub

                            My first thought as well. Good old times of triple boxing spy alts and whatnot. I still miss it sometimes.

                                  Yeah, if you're not running (at least) two clients, you're playing eve wrong.

                                      Once you won EVE, try out Prosperous Universe. No combat. Just the economics/trading of EVE, no need to always be on. Plus, we have the best spreadsheets.

                                        I've heard rumours that Kitten Space Agency (the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program, considering KSP2 is dead on arrival) will support multiple monitors. I know it has multiplayer baked in at every step of the development (even if it won't be available on release). So maybe I'm getting my wires crossed between multimonitor and features of the multiplayer that sound like they would be great for multi monitor (IE, someone plays as ground control)

                                          There was a military tactic game or two from one dev that had dual monitor support. Where the second monitor became an overhead map that let you issues commands.
