If your monitor is capable of using a hood do you have it on?

Nope, because it gets in the way of the monitors beside it.

I'll buck the trend. My main monitor with my Capture 1, Photoshop and Lightroom editing space has the hood attached. The second monitor which has the tool palettes, Film strips or browser windows, doesn't.

I have never used the hood but today I installed it.

How do I move the sliders panel to the 2nd monitor?

I'm using MacOS. Monitors are not set to mirrored displays. In Photoshop, drag whichever panels or tool palettes you want off the main monitor to the secondary monitor and arrange them however you like. You can save it as a workspace.
Lightroom has a few choices how to use the primary and secondary monitors at the bottom above the film strip.

Capture 1 has a dual monitor setup under "workspaces" you can modify them fairly easily.
