Read page 1885 of the Resolve 15 manual: "Limitations When Grading With the Viewer on a Computer Display." This goes into some detail why you cannot accurately monitor directly from the computer and operating system. You have to have a color-managed output, like one from a Blackmagic display card, preferably on a calibrated external Rec709 display.
If you're just editing, it's not as important, but it is handy to have a big hero display that permanently shows the edited timeline output without any switching or button-pushing involved. There are some pros to having two GUI displays and the "Dual Layout" workspace mode for editing, plus the third display just for the timeline reference monitor.
