Using multiple monitors

Score + 14
It would be really useful to our group to have the turn tracker and map on different monitors.  It would be even more helpful for the GM to have a third monitor to manage open NPCs.

You have a good suggestion here, a feature request for Pop Out Turn Tracker. +1 on that idea. I use 2-3 screens sometimes, many people here do. The setting called "Pop-Out Character Sheet" works to do that with sheets & handouts. Lesser known trick -- Double click the "Chat" Icon above the chat bar, you get a pop-out chat. Now you can use that right-column for Jukebox, OR you can hide that right chat bar and maximize map real estate on that screen. This trick is called Pop Out Chat.
Only problem with popout sheets is that they won't interact with tokens so you can't roll init from the sheet. easy work around is just to make an init macro and assign it to the token
The problem is the initiative tracker and token attributes dialog take up screen space which is troublesome on smaller screens, maybe if there were some way to make those appear as tabs on the right hand sidebar, that would be better.

Roll20 works pretty well on multiple monitors. I tend to stretch my VTT window across two monitors so that the right side interface (chat/journal/settings/etc) is on my right monitor. This then gives me an entire monitor's worth of space for the map. I also use the popped out character sheets to move those to my right monitor as well. Other than making everything pop out-able, I'm not actually sure what else Roll20 needs to be multi-monitor compliant.
