I have a multi-monitor setup, but I have only seen a handful of games that support a setup like this--Supreme Commander being the shining example. Are there any others that would benefit from multiple monitors?

From here:

  • Clear the Swarm is the first web game officially supporting multiple monitors.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000

  • Supreme Commander and World in Conflict (DX10 in multiplayer) both support multi-monitors in a dynamic manner of effectively displaying two aspects of the game simultaneously.

  • Uplink features a multi-monitor option that utilizes the screens of two networked computers.

  • Early versions of DOOM (1.0 and 1.1) permitted a three-monitor display mode, using three networked machines to show left, right, and center views.

  • X²: The Threat often cited as one of the first video games to utilize a multiple monitor setup.

  • Burnout Paradise the Ultimate Box for PC multi-monitor support can be accessed through the BurnoutConfigTool.exe in the directory where Burnout Paradise is located.

  • Colin McRae: Dirt 2

(Other games such as World of Warcraft and Team Fortress 2 can also be made to run in multi-monitor set-ups, with the addition of third party software to enable the ability.)

Microsoft Flight Simulator X looks fantastic on multiple monitors.

Instructions on setting it up are here.

Half Life 2 and others Source Engine video game like L4D, I guess... But Dual-M is awful with FPS, and Tri-Monitors need awesome graphics cards.
