Can someone give me a general idea of the benefits of Dual monitiors with Logos and Word. Or how I can strech Logos over both monitors? Thanks!

Or how I can strech Logos over both monitors?
One option is using floating windows in Logos, which can be dragged where desired (when not maximized), which allows main Logos window to be maximized on one monitor. Another possibility is resizing an application window (not maximized) across monitors:
Not maximized = square box in the middle (upper right in window).

Not sure I can address this in a lot of detail, but I've tried both dual monitors and a large (23") single monitor, and I prefer the dual setup when using another application alongside Logos.
Yes, having a few acres of screen is nice with Logos, but the dual monitor had a better 'logical feel' to me than the big single. You can stretch over two monitors, and I've done it, but it sometimes is a distraction.
2 euros worth.
I Keep two separate floating windows up:
1. A floating window with two text comparison panes horizontally organized with different text sets
2. Monograph/Survey/Hermeneutic book(s) to help me gain perspective or approach to the text at hand
Here is what 3 monitors can look like
with MS Word on the right so I can just drag text over. The floating windows is one of the biggest assetts of Logos 4 in my humble opinion because everything can be moved around to what works best for each user, whether a seasoned user or a begginner of Logos 4.

I concur. I actually have a six monitor setup (not specifically for Logos but I have been known to use all 6 sometimes when I am using the software) and it really helps keep things separate.

I use four monitors with Logos, all with pretty high resolutions. It is nice to have all the tools running and have room to read things. That said, I wouldn't do that on less than an i7. Being able to use multiple monitors (and that Logos layouts actually remember exactly how to rebuild across monitors!) was the singular reason I upgraded from L3 to L4.
One caution with using many monitors, especially LCDs (that tend to be pretty bright): it can put too much light into your eyes and cause fatigue issues. I *really* like the ability on the L4Android app to be able to put white text on black background--it would be nice if the desktop app had a similar capability.
