Hey guys, to get my dad into gaming, I decided that the PC would be his optimal choice.

His side of the argument is that he uses two monitors, so he wants to play games that have the capability to use two monitors simultaneously, in any way.

Would there be games like this that exist?

Any game that uses that resolution can be played on dual monitors (not sure what resolution it is). Anyways you don't have to use both monitors to game, you can use one monitor to game and the other can be on the internet or something. Anyways you need a powerfull gfx card to use that high resolution.

Dads love flight sims. Flight Sim X allows you to use multiple monitors.

I know GRID also has dual monitor support, as does one of the Need For Speed games, though I forget which.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but my husband plays Guild Wars and uses the second monitor for looking stuff up on the game's wiki, checking the forum and so on. He can't live without the second monitor : )

Games don't look very good on two monitors though, it's better to use one or three.

This unfortunately is true. Not many games really support just one extra monitor that well :( However as mentioned having a second monitor is so useful if you use it for other non gaming things at the same time as playing. I miss my two monitor setup.

You can display the map on the second monitor in World in Conflict, but only in DirectX10.
