Alex, How could game developers use multiple monitors? Let me count the ways! Seriously, you can always use more visual information in the game than can clearly be presented in a single monitor space. For example in a flight sim or mech game, you could have your field (or fields) of view on 1 or more monitors which eliminates the need for POV or paddlock view confusion in the midst of ACM. Also you could have a monitor or two dedicated to cockpit instrumentation. No more look down/look up button or keyboard manipulation. First rule of dogfighting is never take your eyes of the enemy once you have him spotted. Or how about in a game like Tribes, field of view on one monitor and the battle map on the other. That would help your navigation a lot in the larger landscape levels. PT
