Hello All - I am considering buying another 27" HD monitor to have dual monitor (Win 10). 
I have the space desk-wise.
It will not be for gaming, but for working with multiple art applications - ie iClone, CC3, Photoshop, UE4, etc....

Anyone have any good surprises, unanticipated issues, or regrets that they encountered when it comes to working within RL products in a dual monitor environment?
THX!

No issues here. After using two I now can't live without at least two monitors anymore.
If I had the desk space I would get a third.

I have given up on the dual monitor for years. I only use one 48 inch 4k screen. Even for video editing. It's perfect with RL product.
I hope one day to be able to work either on a screen of 100 inches in 8k or VR glasses in 8k...

I have 2 monitors and I love it with zero issues! Especially for Reallusion programs.  I need to buy a 3rd :hehe:

Sigh, if only I had the room ...

I am more than happy since I got dual Dual monitors. I moved all those tabs (modify, visual, material ,render ) out to the second screen. My view-port is now larger and I do not need to click and switch tabs when I need them.

I had to make the decision a few years ago and decided against dual monitors. Instead, I have a large (42" or so)  4k monitor. Not as big as mtakerkart's, but close...:D

At this size, the text of the user interface of most applications is still comfortably readable, even at 4k. I wanted a 4k monitor, so that was a consideration. Another consideration is a comfortable viewing angle when you are working.

I have two monitors which, together, are larger than 48".  Honestly, a 48" single one wouldn't work nearly as well for me, since this allows me to *curve* them around the desk area (which is in a corner of my room).  A single monitor would be much more of a problem in that regard.

Plus -- I couldn't use a 4K monitor -- WAY too small for these old eyes.  These two I run both at 1920x1080 at 150% resolution.  I've tried similar things with 4K and it's no way Jose.  So I doubt there is even a 48" monitor (or larger) that would allow this anyway (IOW, it would have to be a 48" HD monitor instead of UHD -- never seen such a thing).  Finally, there are some programs that just don't do well extended that far anyway, but fit perfectly in ONE 1920x1080 monitor (like the new Flight Simulator).

So whatever works for you.  I know I couldn't live without my two monitor solution.

I also wouldn't want to work without anymore, especially when working iClone+Unreal...
Though even if you only work with iClone, timeline can get very full.
Having a single monitor just for the timeline is quite handy.
Since 4 years I have a dual 28" solution (1920x1080) and I'm very happy with that.

I have 3 of these and they work great. You don't need much desk space with these, just mount the stands on the back of your desk. Goes into the table about 4 inches or so.
