For multicamera editing, External Monitor can show you the selected takes while keeping the Preview window for multiview selections.

Because the Secondary Monitor function applies deinterlacing, and color profiles, and other tweaks to try and mimic a studio monitor. The small preview window is inaccurate and just a "preview" of what the video might look like once you render it. Two different views of the same video, one more accurate for color correcting, and one less accurate for fast editing.
