Multi-Monitor Support - NOT eyefinity

[Dairian]

I WANT NOW!

[The Kush]

Yes!

There's so much that could be done to include multimonitor support. Since the rallying cry of the devs is "customization" multimonitor support would be huge.

Eve online has an extremely powerful UI that is highly customizable, when they included it, the benefit to ease of use was huge.

I think wider FOV options could be included, I don't see it as being that big of a deal, especially with the fact that they put in such effort to the cockpits. But putting a map or low priority chat tabs or vivox chat channel management tools, there's lot of useful stuff that could go on the second monitor.

At the moment, I'm anticipating using both a main monitor and the PS2 iPad app at the same time. I'd be open to adding a second (or really, more like a third) monitor on top of that.

[Talented Maori]

Yes, agree to idea, OP should be paid!

[Sabot]

This is something I do like regarding multi-monitors. I myself don't have more than one but this would be awesome.

[Winfernal]

This would be AWESOME!

Good off-monitor UI support (be that on secondary monitors that aren't rendering the world, keyboard displays, or those little 640x320 displays some people run as supplementary displays) would/will be awesome tools for commanders, in particular, but can be made to be great informational support for everybody, too.

Names of VOIP speaking characters popping up on peoples' Logitech displays, summaries of current resource income rates and stockpiles, maps and outfit/friends lists on UI-dedicated monitors... There's a lot of good opportunities for information delivery.

My threads second wind? Excellent, keep it going!!

Yes please i have 3 so any uses for the other two would be great. I think its clear this game will support nvidia surround since they are working so closely with nvidia.

[Rare Raisin]

I need this but I could really use more cowbell too.

[Sledgecrushr]

Yup i think my ipad would work great as my second monitor.

[RSphil]

this would be amazing for commanders ect. in the field fighting with a map and other stuff on the other monitor for up to date info. i would love this and i think more games should have this in this day and age

This is important to me and it was created before the other one was.

Like I'd even go as far as to say that a properly specc'ed vehicle driver with a rotating turret should have a little picture-in-picture display of a fixed angle camera somewhere on their vehicle. Like a lightning might put it directly forward so they can track stuff with their turret and still be able to quickly spot their direct and whether they are going to run into an indestructible tree.

Option for it to be in the primary screen UI but it would be even better to stick it on a secondary monitor.

There's just so many UI elements that would be conducive to people operating in their roles better that need to be open all the time but there isn't enough room on the main screen to have them there without it looking cluttered.

It's not a crutch, it's not unfair, its just part of the evolution of what a gaming rig consists of (or soon will be the standard.)

Yeah, that is an awesome idea. If so, would there be support for a monitor of a different size or resolution? I use my 23" 16:9 as a main screen at 1920x1080, but have a smaller 17" 5:4 that only goes to 1280x1024.
