Here is my headless (no monitor) desktop setup in my store room.

Normally the mini monitors will be switched off.
2 pc there.
Mini pc (hidden) function as a plex server.
The other pc is for me to remote in and play games via a local cloud.

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.
