Connect to 4K, 5K, and 6K displays
The dual-monitor display feature allows the video layout and screen share content to be placed on two separate monitors/screens. Gallery or speaker view can be displayed on one monitor while the other monitor displays a content share. This is useful for PPT presentations and hiding notes from the participants. BenQ is known for its affordable monitors that are primarily aimed at home and office use, but it's moved a little more in the Mac direction with its recently introduced PD2720U 'designer monitor'.

Connect to different Thunderbolt 3 busses
Dual Screens For Macbook Pro
Your MacBook Pro has two busses for its four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Each pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports (on the left and right sides of your Mac) are different busses. Whenever possible, connect your displays to different busses to maximize performance. Don’t connect more than two displays to either bus. If you connect a 6K, 5K, or multi-cable 4K display, use a different bus for each of the displays.
