I always thought it was a bit silly and unneeded.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

I can watch videos and play games at the same time, and is extremely handy for when I'm drawing so I can have the reference image and SAI open at the same time. No need to click back an forth.

Hmm...
It's super helpful at work for web design. I code on one and have the browser in another. This other guy has 3 monitors.

So you can have multiple things open without having them share on screen.

This can be very useful for coding or if you live stream shit.

Supreme multitasking. I used to think like you did until I tried using a second one, now I can't imagine not using one.

I currently have 20 internet tabs, 2 pdfs, and 5 other programs open, and i'm not even close to being busy. A second or even third monitor would make handling all that information a lot easier.

also kool factor.

I think it's pretty silly, too. Even with the reasons listed--I still think you could survive with just one monitor. Meh.

Also, I totally thought you were talking about Kitsune and Kupo at first.

I'm guessing it's just another luxury, bit a necessity .

If that were the case I would have said "any monitors"

Well of course you could, but from a work standpoint it can make things more efficient.

It's about being able to organize things on your computer without having to divide up screen-space or navigate tabs.

When working, I can see results on one screen while writing code at the same time, without having to constantly cycle between programs or squish program windows to the point that they're not efficient to use.

Usually for coding and some editing. I mean, it's possible with just one big monitor, but having two seems like heaven

That new avatar is adorable.

OT: I use a laptop, no second monitor for me. I'd have to fix my desktop, but I don't see any reason to do that...

Makes GIS easier. Plus Arma on one, ts on the other. I can meta by seeing who has died because they get muted on ts when they bite one

Well you see the point of having multiple monitors is so that we can organise the bi-annual monitor deathmatch in the staff chat. We offer the promotion to moderator to the last lad standing, then watch the ensuing chaos.

We were getting ready for the final one of the year but then kupo had to leaf us and I'm left with an empty colliseum ;_;

It's amazing with graphics stuff. Having illudtrator and photoshop or two photoshop windows open at once is pretty useful.

If you know, you know.
I certainly benefited from it when programming my final year project. I could run my IDE on one screen and debug on the other. Convenience and efficiency. I bought a VGA cable and hooked up my Laptop to my TV and voila!
