      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.

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

        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.

          Why am I comparing moitors to virtual desktops?

          I don’t know


          Does it make sense?

          No


          Do i use my 2nd virtual desktop more than my 2nd monitor?

          Yes


          Am I lost in what I am trying to prove?

          Absolutely.

      Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor.

      Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.
