What is it about TeamViewer that makes you look for an alternative?

I can think of at least one thing vis-a-vis TeamViewer's Android client,
but can't think of anything anybody can do better with PC-to-PC.... Am I
missing something?

Well the thing that makes me want to try synergy is that sometimes I
wish I had one monitor for each computer. There is a very old game
that doesn't draw the screen fast enough when using TeamViewer. Since
it is just a minor thing, I don't worry about it. And that is why I
never bothered to try synergy.

The way I have my setup now is both monitors connected to the main
computer. I have no monitor, keyboard or mouse connected to the
second computer.

The advantage to that setup is that I can pull a video or a web page
to the second monitor. I watch Youtube videos on one monitor and web
surf on the other.
