I've always GM'd with my laptop, never used a screen, but I like the idea of it more and more.

I was just curious what people put on there? What do you consider essential and what has come in handy for you?

For reference I run Call of Cthulhu so especially interested in that, but I've also done DND so really just curious in general.

It really seems quite uncommon these days based on all these responses!

I run multiple games without, but the one game I am in the dm (this is his first time dm'img) uses a screen religiously. Although he tends to forget there is info on the screen for him. I think he only uses it as a barrier between us and him.
