Is there a way to open one of the view windows in a second monitor?
I have two monitors plugged, and I hope it is possible to open my user or perspective view window on the 2nd monitor, it would be awesome!

Thanks guys,

I didn't think this one would be as hard to reply : (

I tried to see if I could get a normal viewport to float like activeshade can, but I haven't had any luck.

If you are able to get a viewport to use the second monitor, it might end up with bad performance because most multi monitor solutions don't support acceleration on anything but the primary monitor.

Never managed it, but I can keep my material editor and several other windows open on the second monitor at all times so I guess that's good enough for me...
