Battlefield 4 with dual-monitors

Hi ! I play Battlefield 4, and I learnt few days ago it was possible to play on two monitors at the same time. I don't mean "have the game on one monitor and the battlemap on the second", I mean "ha...

    2 screens is a terrible idea because the center of your view will be the deadzone of the bezels.  If you don't bezel correct then it's just as bad for different reasons.

    3 ontop of 3 doesn't work good either beacuse of this reason.   For racing or flight sims I can see it, but shooters the most important part is the very center.

    Only way it would work at a reasonable level is, tear the bezels off and probably dremel out the frame so they fit together (it will still have a bit of a deadzone even doing this).  Or find a double wide monitor and the computer will recognize it at native res of 3840x1080 or whatever it is.

    To be completely honest, I don't think Surround settings are even available for 2 monitors because they realize it wouldn't work very good.  (*edit:  Surround settings don't show up for 2 monitors only, confirmed)

    You can get around that with hacks and tricks to force a resolution // force surround to work.  Or some software that allows stretching windows.

    TL/DR

    You are wasting your time with 2 monitors for double wide gaming.  Get a third or use the 2nd one for videos, music, forums, etc.

It's not like that. You can play 2 monitors in BF4, one for the game, other for the minimap. Is not to enlarge your field of view.

    I have played all games on 3 screens the last six or seven years its just a matter of setting it up correct so I agree with you @Gazorpazorfielld Now I play on the samsung 49in curved screen but my three benQ screens are now on my spare game rig and get used ingame when friends come over or if a part blows out on my main rig and I cant use it until new part comes in.
