In the latest Weekend Question, we asked our staff and forums whether they dual-wield monitors for more attacks per round, or opt for a single monitor for a higher attack bonus.

I remember the days of CRT monitors—beefy, chunky behemoths that made it so all but the most dedicated of warrior monks were one and done when it came to computer monitors. Now though, I feel like you're hard pressed to find a PC gamer who isn't operating offtwo screens, while the new work from home paradigm means that a laptop on one of those lifted stands paired with an external monitor is a common sight even on non-gamer desks.

Recently I bought a 1440p, 31.5 inch MSI 1:1000 curved monitor which is fantastic as a primary monitor as it's much more immersive.I don't game on multiple monitors but for work, having two monitors is more than 2x better. Also I can have WhatsApp and Halo running at the same time which is very handy.Definitely better. I have two ultrawides.

I also like my little always-visible panel of gadgets on the 2nd monitor, like those we had on Windows 7—I'm on Win10. With main monitor on right, I have the Windows Taskbar vertical on its left side, so it's in between the 2 monitors. Little QoL thingsI don't have space for 2 monitors. It took me long enough to adjust from a 28inch to 32inch screen, for a while my top left corner was ignored... I still mostly use the right side of screen. Never run browsers in full screen.

As for me? No, 1 ultrawide monitor is all I need for what I do, If I were to get into streaming I might run a second monitor, but right now my"second monitor" is my tv in which if I want to play from the couch, or watch a movie from the pc for family movie night etc. I'll plug it in and use it, but other than that I have no need for a 2nd monitor.: I've never used more than one monitor with my home PC, as I like a large, detailed screen, even if I have to sacrifice speed.
