Man, people really are playing classic without two monitors and no need for overlays at all
So I used to use AMD Eyefinity to run multiple monitors. Had a few gateway 24"s that were amazing for like 8 years, but I recently did a rebuild, was sick of ati (now adm) drivers, the fat ol bezels in the way, and wanted to swap to nvida.

A little bit of research discovered that the gaming community in general had moved away from multi monitor setups. Reason being for whatever reasons the drivers and card setups that were previously required to run them at a decent frame rate, now scaled like shit. In place of this, ultrawide monitors came to prominence. I checked them out shopped around, and liked this new solution.

In light of all this I swapped to a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide, and there is just no looking back. At work i still have 2x 1920 x 1080p monitors and it is honestly quite adequate. However every time I go home home and boot up I'm like, oh fuck yeah, this is so much better. You get similar real estate but with just so much cleaner look and interface.

Point of all this is, not everyone that doesn't run dual monitors is behind the times. :P
