I just can't imagine using one PC monitor anymore and I mean on your personal desktop - not work. I guess I've become so adjusted to always having something running or playing on a second screen. Maybe this isn't as different as before, I used to have one monitor, but then a TV running next to me.
shareAS SOMEONE WHO USES ONE MONITOR AND WATCHS FILMS ON A TV...HOW DO YOU HOOK UP TWO MONITORS AND HAVE TWO THINGS ON TWO SCREENS AT THE SAME TIME?
shareLocate the display ports on your computer and just plug them in. Most computers nowadays have at least one HDMI port or if you using an older computer you probably have a VGA and you could also use adapters from the USB ports. Once they are hooked up just simply change your display setting in Windows to extend.
shareTHAT EASY,HUH?

I only use one. They gave me a second one at work. I tried it out and, no joking, I felt like I was getting seasick from the images going from one screen to the other. I gave the second one back.
shareI have four monitors but I only use one at a time.
I just use an Apple phone for fun stuff and a work issued laptop for the job. My techy skills are limited so this is a fair arrangement.

i just use multiple desktops. been using them in linux for years. i switch between desktops by pressing ctrl-alt left or right. its quicker than opening and closing windows after its setup how you like.

That's pretty cool
shareWith Apple you just press your 3rd mouse button and all your virtual screens like up at the top of your screen and you can choose one without the keyboard at all - but you can use the keyboard too if you wish. It's the best setup I've seen.
shareI'm happy with my iMac 27" 5K Retina display.
I don't like 2 monitors because of having to track the mouse between two monitors.
What I like about my Apple iMac is the virtual screens where I can have a whole bunch of different screens and switch through them by pressing the middle mouse button.
