Most games don't support having 2-3 monitors. Probably the best game I've found that makes perfect sense with multiple monitors is Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I'll play the scenery cockpit view on my large LCD 40"TV. I'll use peripheral 22" LCD monitors for the cockpit guages and controls. This is really the only game I've tried it on. For your overindulgent tech junkies, what games have you tried this on, and which ones seem to work best?

honestly i can't see any type of game whether it be it flight sims,fps, or rts that wouldn't benefit from a triple monitor setup with the large increase in FOV and the added immersion.

SupCom has built in multi-monitor support as well.

Bump.

I'm surprised more people don't play with multiple monitors.

The problem lies in that so few games natively support multiple monitors, and of those that do - many only take full advantage of a triple monitor setup (w/ triplehead 2 go or similar software). If more games supported dual monitors (probably the most common multi-monitor setup) then I am guessing more people would use them. I would love if more games supported dual monitors - RPG's would benefit w/ the ability to have map/inventory/character sheet/quest log open on one while playing on the other, RTS's would benefit w/ having tac maps or the like on the second monitor, etc. The only ones that have no real function on dual would be FPS, and that is because of the monitor split (Most FPS's don't have any sort of stat/information you would want displayed constantly on a separate monitor that I can think of)
