this not very adjustable compare to gas spring, if wanna set your monitor in some angles or height the gas spring much better

but if just put straight in front then this is ok

how to display game in both screen ah?hackintosh in vmare okay ka
*
Yes, you **can display games on both monitors**, but how it's done depends on the game, your system setup, and what exactly you want to achieve. Here's a breakdown:

---

## 🎮 **Options for Displaying Games on Two Monitors**

### 1. **Extended Display (Spanning Game Across Two Monitors)**

* **What it does:** The game stretches across both monitors, creating a wider field of view.

* **How to do it:**

* Go to **Display Settings** in Windows or macOS and set your monitors to **"Extend"**.
* In games that support **ultrawide** or **multi-monitor setups** (e.g. *Flight Simulator*, *Project Cars*, *Civilization*, etc.), choose a **resolution that spans both monitors** (e.g. 3840x1080 for two 1080p screens).
* Use tools like:

* **NVIDIA Surround** (for NVIDIA GPUs)
* **AMD Eyefinity** (for AMD GPUs)

* **Note:** Be aware that this can cause distortion where the monitors meet, especially if the bezels are thick.

---

### 2. **Primary Game on One Monitor + Secondary App on Second Monitor**

* **What it does:** You play the game on one monitor and use the second for something else (e.g. Discord, browser, OBS, maps).
* **How to do it:**

* Set your game to run in **borderless windowed mode** (or windowed).
* Drag other apps to the second screen.
* Your mouse can move between screens more easily in borderless mode.

---

### 3. **Custom Dual-Monitor Support in Some Games**

* Some simulation or strategy games have **built-in support** for dual monitors (e.g. cockpit view on one screen, map on another).
* Check the game's settings or mods community.

---

## 🛠️ Requirements

* Two monitors with similar resolution for best results.
* A powerful enough GPU to handle the larger combined resolution.
* Proper GPU software installed (NVIDIA/AMD control panel).

---

## ❗Caveats

* Not all games support ultra-wide or dual monitors.
* Some games may stretch unnaturally or have UI issues.
* Bezels can break immersion unless you have bezel-free kits or very thin borders.

btw, I have calibrated the colour of MSI to match the Dell.


Adjustment made in Mac OS for MSI.

Brightness reduced to 40%. (default brightness is way too bright)
White point adjusted to D65. (default white is too warm)

Nice setup. As you said, need to cut down on those wires and clean them up.

A wireless KB and mouse will surely make it a complete clean look. brows.gif
