this would be bad as all get out. im gonna try this now on two monitors and see what i can do. one is CRT the other is lcd so not quite sure but ill see what i can do with the idea. this would be bad ass

EDIT:
ok i have been playing with display settings. i have two monitors hooked up to my geforce6800 ultra and both images look very sharp and clear. i tried all the different configs that i could think of.

clone: obvious but makes both screens the same. very wiered to watch but wont be able to accomplish the task

horizontal split(left/right split): this worked ok but wired as heck. your character was right in the middle of the screen and split in two. imagine left eye right eye type of view. this way you can moove all of your hotbars and so forth to either side and resize then and configure to fill the hole left or right screen. this works great except for only getting half of your view and your perspective being way off. it feels as if you are walking sideways when you are walking straight.


vertical split(top/bottom split): this also worked well to a degree. it worked best if you used first person view. using this view also skewed your vision a bit as well. imageing this. the top half is eye level and up and the bottom half is eye level and down. this worked the best in my opinion. with this mode you are able to set all of your windows to either the bottom or top and depending on where you place your monitor left or right.
i had the top view on the left and bottom view on the right. it is a little difficult getting used to moving the mouse down or up to get to the other monitor though.

BTW this was all in windowed mode set to maximize

in my opinion this would be the best idea if there was a way to limit the stretching of the POV but still have the active game window maximized.


post your feed back and ideas


EDIT:

OK some new nfo. i decided to tweak around with the side by side view and see what i could come up with good layout and decent perspective.

so here is a screen shot.
it is in windowed mode @ 2560x1024
the left 2/3 are my main view with hotbars and other combat needed info

the right 1/3 is chat journal map and experience

this leaves the right half of the right window free to open a webpage or walk through of some sorts.

this does make the view a little wiered in the main window but you will get used to it
