Right. If I put a monitor on my left it...would fall to the ground. I have a corner desk and if I extend it I will go right for that obvious reason. But since I am only 14 with NO SOURCE of income, that will be a while. But my 32" tv/monitor will do for now :)

0	You know... I've ever actually paid attention to it now, but I've always put monitor #2 to the right of the main one. It just seems to be more comfortable having it over there. Weird... answered Sep 20 '11 at 21:46 Griff 1.4k●1●5●25

I'm right handed, but I can't stand having my secondary monitor on my right. I have my smaller screen to the left of my main display.

I honestly thought it had something to do with being left/right handed. I guess it's just personal preference.

0	I put mine to the right, because that's where windows puts it, and i'm lazy to change it. answered Sep 20 '11 at 23:48 cal920c 221●2●3●7

0	I personally have 3x24" monitor, so i have left and right, but when i used just 2 i had it on right side, it is more natural since "start" (or "menu" depends on what os you use) is on the left.... answered Sep 21 '11 at 08:36 Ivan Tomica 1.3k●27●33●52

0	I have 2 23" monitors. The main one sits directly in front of me and the extended one sits to the right. I'd like to upgrade my graphics card and have 3 monitors. One on either side of the main. A boy can dream. answered Sep 21 '11 at 09:20 Steven Hibbs 4.6k●87●106●156
