disadvantage would be inability to set brightness/gamma in game. Not a big deal

the only prob i find with it is that u cant minimize so it will stick to ur background, which could be annoying if u wanna pick something up from the deskop

if your running windows 7 theres that little button on the bottom right of your taskbar that minimizes everything.

I just use... well

Windowed (Fullscreen), and then use a program called "Tray It!" to force it to HIDE the window and put an icon of it onto the tray ^_^'

then once you realize that, alt tab out and back again quickly and you should be able to use the keyboard again.

Prefer playing on full screen as I find a gamma restriction with windowed full screen which I'm sure there is a walk around for but I just cbf looking

Still use windowed full screen when watching gom or some other streams on the other screen
while playing lol I can't notice any FPS difference as my machine is pretty decent but I do find it runs alot smoother in Full screen rather than windowed full screen (yet same fps displayed in the corner which i cap at 75 where it stays most of the game.)

I've played windowed (Fullscreen) since SC2 came out. I love it as I have dual monitors so I'm always hitting windows key to change music etc.

Thinking about switching over to playing exclusively windowed, as I feel a smaller game screen lets me be more map aware rather than having my shift my eyes a greater distance to find/see something. Anyone else play in windowed mode when they have a giant monitor?
