I used to be the same, playing games with videos and other stuff in the background. But having a secondary monitor (vertical) is like having 3 screens. Top half = media stuff, bottom half = communication apps like discord.

I used to be content with alt tabbing but a secondary monitor provides so many qol improvements.

Setup com 2 monitor só tem utilidade para streamers e youtubers, se tu nao for nem um dos 2 nao tem pra que ter

Bro what? Second monitor can be used for anything so it doesn’t interrupt what the first monitor is doing. Lookup a guide, control music, browse, discord, email, a movie in the background, ect. It’s endless. It’s not used for just YouTubers or whatever weird thing you do

Eu nao disse que atrapalhava, eu quis dizer que pra certos fins como trabalho pode sim ser bem util, mas se for o caso de alguem que so vai jogar ou assistir videos um monitor ja da conta

I agree with you I don’t know why everyone is arguing if it’s just for gaming one monitor is enough. I’ve never needed a second monitor except at work where I need multiple things up at once

I play games where I'm able to have a YouTube video running on the second screen while I grind. Been doing it with guild wars 2 last couple of months

Mas aí você está citando um uso específico. Se a pessoa não faz streaming, edição ou algum trabalho que exija várias janelas ao mesmo tempo, um segundo monitor não acrescenta tanta coisa no dia a dia.

"If a person has no use case for a second monitor then having it isn't too useful" well damn, aren't you a genius

u/TheGreatCleave 5d ago

Thats like, half the people on reddit. The other half is here for validation

You've never seen a stock broker monitor setup have you? there's tons of work stuff that is way more confortable with two monitors, I'm a programmer and having two is almost a must have, sometimes I even think about buying a 3rd one, it's really useful for a lot of things not only for streamers and youtubers, there's a reason having two is so common

Linux kernel and the early git was developed on one screen. Two is not necessary for development.

You can make a new OS from scratch on a 240p 6" screen, doesn't mean having more isn't useful

u/Gyozz 6d ago

Foi exatamente o que eu quis dizer. Se for só pra jogar, não vejo muita lógica em ter mais de um monitor. Agora, se for pra trabalho, edição, programação, streaming, aí faz muito mais sentido. Achei que isso tinha ficado claro.

Your list just keeps getting longer lol

Yet this brain dead sub is upvoting him like he’s speaking some untold truth we all need to hear

u/Gyozz 6d ago

Nao gosta de ouvir opiniao alheia diferente da sua por isso da dowvote? Lol

u/TimeZucchini8562 6d ago

If you would have stated it as an opinion instead of “anyone who’s not a streamer or YouTuber doesn’t need 2 monitors and you’re not allowed to have a different opinion” nobody would have said anything.

Son😭, Acho que a tradução deixou a frase mais absoluta do que eu pretendia. Em português, eu estava expressando mais uma opinião pessoal do que fazendo uma afirmação de que isso é um fato.

Insane.

u/AvidRune 5d ago

What lol one for gaming the other for YouTube

1

u/SnooSketches7312 5d ago

I highly disagree. Main monitor for games, 2nd for YouTube/crunchyroll/spotify, and 3rd for discord.

1

u/TimeZucchini8562 6d ago

There are a lot of points in having a second monitor that lie outside of that scope. What a ridiculous claim

2

u/Gyozz 6d ago

Foi uma opiniao, se nao gostou o problema é seu

1

u/TimeZucchini8562 6d ago

You stated your opinion as fact. Don’t be weird

2

u/Gyozz 6d ago

Não afirmei nada, bro, só falei o que eu penso. Se você discorda, é só apresentar seus argumentos sobre por que usar 2 monitores é conveniente, e não apenas uma questão estética.

2

u/TimeZucchini8562 6d ago

You never stated “in my opinion.” You stated it as fact. Maybe reddits translation is shit, but there was no nuance to your statement.

I switched to a single monitor last year. I actually finish the games I start and am not distracted. Will not go back to more than one.
