    Need ideas for a dual monitor setup

    So I recently purchased two monitors and ordered a dual monitor desk mount which I should get in tomorrow. At the moment I’ve got my laptop between my two monitors and the laptop is sitting on top of a monitor stand I bought for $20 at Walmart xD and I use a mini keyboard via usb til my 60% keyboard comes in.

    Anyways, I’m trying to think of a good setup for this because I still play ffxiv on my laptop and not on any of the monitors cuz I feel like there is a slight lag in communication from my laptop to the monitor and I don’t like it that much but I’d prefer to play on one of the monitors while I use either the other monitor for Twitch and my laptop display for web browsing and what not, but idk this is the first for me lol don’t really know good ways to set this up

    Out of curiosity, how do you have the monitors connected, and what's the GPU in the laptop?

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    I have them both connected via hdmi but one is connected via hdmi thru a piece that gives me an additional hdmi port since I only have one port.

    I’ve got Vega 8 Mobile GFX with GTX 1050
