How do you keep your concentration on two monitors?
When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me
I’m either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?
Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.
Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I’m not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.
Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn’t accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.
If you’re developing and want a live display of your program, nothing beats a second monitor to see your progress live if you want to see the progress on your computer.
Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.
Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can’t do that.

Picture in picture mode
Full screen
You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)

I don’t know
No
Yes
Absolutely.
No.
I have but it’s long past bedtime here and I’m starting to lose my ability to comprehend things in english. Sorry
Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.
Yeah I guess you could do something completely different than what I said.

Other cases %100 agree
A really large monitor?
A ultra wide monitor beats it imo
Yes, so much easier to switch between two desktops than having them actually visible at the same time.
