I've never seen a problem with multiple monitors, myself. I have two monitors, of different native resolutions. See the link. Works well enough for me.

Nah, too clunky. I prefer my setup which is similar except done with just three megascreens in same configuration.
OK ... not really ... sniff
However, I’d seriously prefer two stacked 38” Ultrasharps than even 4 27”s ANY time. At home I have a pair of Dell 27” Ultrashrps and my work 38ultrasharp blows it away in immersiveness/utility (for me)

Actually it has been stated that the reason everything is 'bound' into the main window is due to token/combat tracker interaction and deep legacy code that would need to be re-written to handle (well ... the windows handles really). This is the same reason (IIRC) that we can't have tabs.

Yeah. That's what I meant by similar to another service. I'm not looking for a full blown mobile version (would be amazing but not enough real estate on a phone for FG) but it would be great to be able to access the modules as a reference manual. Open the PHB when I'm sitting at a table IRL complete with search feature. Create a new PC using XGE from my phone. Bust out the Ipad and be able to read through the Rise of Tiamat while out and about before going home to run it for players.
All of the modules already have a reference manual built into the library that opens up a searchable version of the book that is pretty much scans of the real thing. Like @lostsanityreturned mentioned, an app to do the same thing would be amazing especially since there are many people who just refuse to continue to purchase the same thing 3 times (Physical, FG and D&DB). I own most of the books IRL, complete bundle through FG and refuse to buy the mobile versions. Besides, as was mentioned. D&DB is really clunky. Definitely not my first choice for PC creation. Any time I'm building a pc it's FG and would be great to have this at my fingertips when I'm bored at work.

We do it using a second computer as a client outputting to the HDTV for the players and a touch screen monitor duplicating it's image for the DM. Then the DM moves the player characters as he's instructed by the players using the touch screen. As well he has a computer for the DM game server with another monitor. So yeah, it can get a bit cumbersome at times but it works for the most part. A nice thing is the DM doesn't lose track of what's going on with the map when he minimizes it on the main computer to free up space. For our game having the ability for players to move using a tablet or smartphone would round out the package perfectly. Then the DM would just have to monitor the moves instead of actually make them for the players. But still, better multi-monitor support would be welcome as well even if it was just being able to drag the map image in a separate window to a different monitor.
