[ Fullscreen VS. Windowed ] Which do you prefer?
TheLazeboy
We all play PC/Mac/Linux games and we all play either fullscreen or windowed.
Which do you play?
I play windowed because I can multitask and see Skype notifications easier.
EDIT: I didn't know that adding a poll option removed the current poll results. :3
Fullscreen +2
Windowed +4

i always play in windowed... because its lags when im using it in fullscreen
I usually switch between windowed and full screen depending on what I'm doing in the game. Full screen does allow you to see more, but windowed gives you the option of multi-tasking.
I use full screen. I don't multitask, if I want to play a game that's all I want to do.
Depends on the situation.

For me, I like fullscreen when I'm doing my Snapshot Survival world, but windowed any time I'm just screwing around.
*EDIT: Has anyone ever played survival minecraft while playing the Starbound soundtrack? It's freaking amazing.

Yea, fullscreen is best for detailed work. Or hardcore gaming. :S
I used to play in fullscreen, and then I realized that it triples my framerate to play in windowed mode. Needless to say, I'm getting a new PC at the end of this month, so that will change!
windowed always
I tend to play in windowed mode. I dont really like going into full screen mode that much.
My computer dies if I try to use fullscreen on most programs; switching to windowed doesn't help much, but I guess a 3-4 FPS boost helps when you're running a game in fullscreen in 11 FPS.
I also like randomly clicking on the desktop and refreshing. It helps a tiny bit in keeping the whole computer from dying after I press the Quit button. It's also convenient to multitask and check out other programs, like the others have said.

I don't understand why some people always use windowed. I only use it when I'm copying a server ip, or installing mods.
I use it to record and don't really need the full screen to play
Multitasking, and mouse support. If you're fullscreen, you can't use your mouse on another monitor (I have three). You'd have to alt-tab, which causes all of your display devices to flicker twice/three times.
Windowed mode allows me to still be fullscreen but use my mouse on other programs without the monitors going nuts.
