How do dual monitors work?

In this video, I demonstrate how a multi monitor set up is set up and controlled. I also show how it works for gaming, and how it can increase productivity.
0:00 - Introduction
00:19 - How to set it up
02:29 - How to control it
03:32 - How do games work?
06:11 - Why is it useful?
What I used to make this video
Editing: Sony Vegas 13
Microphone: Sennheiser MK4
Camera: Canon 500D
Games I played: GRID Autosport, League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege
My graphics card: AMD R9 390
My monitors: 27" 1440p QNIX QX2710, and a very old Sony SDM-X75K
Keyboard: It's a custom WASD keyboard from www.wasdkeyboards.com/ with cherry MX brown switches
Monitor arms: I got this from Amazon, though I don't think I'd recommend it. It's not easy to position monitors exactly where you want them, and it feels a bit cheap - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
This is actually the third time I've made this video! It carries on being useful, and the old one was over 6 years old and was in dire need of an update.

[@richardj.rustleshyman2026]

Unsung hero.
Thank you for your guide, super helpful!

[@iakonasisler4808]

Super glad you mentioned the gaming part as that was why I searched this, I just got my first dual monitor setup and was wondering how tabbing out world work with 2 monitors

[@joshnicholson5457]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude I'm late to this video but you explain every single one of my concerns and questions in a 7 minute video without any BS and perfectly accessible, what a hero

[@aefaefrtv1868]

Great video! So many dual monitor setup videos, even with the gaming tag in them, only show how to set it up which is usually very simple. I was explicitly interested in the how it works in gaming part, since I am getting a new extra monitor tomorrow. Thanks!

[@ArkonBlade]

Thanks man. very easy to follow and informative video. Just ordered a second monitor so this made it very simple to figure out how it all works.
