It means you can play a game on one, and do work on the other.

The Safety Dance.

Yay!

We can dance if we want to.
We can leave our friends behind.

I love that song.

It does have minimal use for general desktop stuff, but for graphics work it is absolutely essential. I have 2 monitors, I just neglected to show my second (the desktop is blank save for CPU usage and sticky notes gadgets) - having all your photoshop tools on the second monitor freeing up work space on your main monitor is brilliant. As is doing widescreen video production work or being able to produce 2 things side by side (a 3d application in one, and a texture application on the other, for instance).

Also while playing games I can see who's online on my MSN list.

I used two for a while, there are next to no benefits really.

Truth.

It depends how you feel about maximised windows. Personally I am all about maximising my windows, and so it's nice to be able to maximise the program you're working in at the moment (Photoshop, UnrealEd, Xed, Word, Powerpoint, Firefox, WinSCP, etc. etc.) while having Tweetdeck and Messenger (and sometimes Skype and/or netradio) open on the other monitor for communication.

I believe this is because you are a newb.

How can you not see the endless benefits of MORE SCREEN REAL ESTATE? It's not like you don't have another monitor lying around somewhere, or are you some sort of strange person who only upgrades when the old stuff is broken?

Because I don't need it, or be precise, I needed the desk space more than screen space(my secondary screen was an old, bulky variant) Also; I found it very annoying to have to move my head
Plus, most games are incompatible with dualscreening as well, meaning that 90% of the time, the second screen was dead weight.

No, you play games on your nice 24 incher and then you can still see what your idiotic friends are sending you on your 19 incher next to it.

Everyone has gotten an MSN message while playing a game.

Yeah, that never worked for me, the MSN windows would keep popping up beneath my game, and not on the other screen like I wanted

I don't know any games that use both screens, I wouldn't want to either unless I had a specific monitor for that task (ones that are connected, I mean). The seperation would be too odd.

They are fairly dead weight while playing games, I just turn it off most of the time. But again, having MSN and other chat applications open on it is handy. For instance if someone starts talking to me I know to alt-tab from the game (if it's my girlfriend) or ignore them (if it's Jonas).

MSN windows pop up where they were when you closed them last time. Put all your MSN windows onto the other monitor, close them, then open a new one - voila. Works for their size and other settings too (like whether to show the avatars in the side).
