I am considering buying myself another 2333SW but not sure if it will be worth it or not. I have never really sat in front of 2 x 23" monitors so no clue how it looks, I am sure quite amazing.

Now I am a dual monitor noob so I wanted to know can you play any games in dual view? My initial thought is no, but I may be wrong. Anyone done it, if so whats it like.

For work space I rate it will be awesome. 1 x 23" is amazing I cant imagine what 2 are like :D

Any thoughts appreciated!

I would love to have two monitors. I think most games will just use the one screen and leave other blank, but i'm not sure how it works..
 
Seriously, dude. Being on one screen or a laptop after being on two screens is like having one arm chopped off. Or some more fitting analogy.
 
I bought that 23" monitor on special at DionWired for that very functionality and now I can't fit both monitors on my desk :(
 
So the general consensus is that it is indeed worth it :D

So it is possible to game on 2 monitors then? Might be better just on 1, and the 2nd monitor for work.
 
His question should NEVER be asked. GET IT OMG GET IT :D I worked once with dual screens. Enjoy mate it's all that.
 
/does not want to see threads like these, cos they'll get me thinking of going dual again! :mad:
 
Cool! ok.....One thing I notice on Kalahari's website though is that they call it a 2333SW Plus....Wtf is the plus?
 
Go for it.

Don't hesitate. After working on 2 screens you will never want to go back to 1 again. I have been using 2 screens for about 3 years and never looked back.
 
I would say yes to the dual monitor setup - especially the 2x 2333SW - I'm running 2 of these side by side and they are great! I don't do much gaming, and use them mostly for the desktop space and multi-task apps I use - so I would suggest 1 for gaming and 2 for deskspace! :)

Note: placed together on their stands or on a dual-display arm (I have the Aavara dual-arm) they are 1120mm (1m 12cm) long! So you need a fairly decent-sized desk...

Below is a stock image - I will try and take a photo and upload this coming weekend when I get my camera back.

Looks good. That Avara arm is worth the cash I think...

Definitely worth it - and very stable/sturdy. It gives you more space around the edges of the monitor on the desk, which it great for other things like USB hubs, wireless mouse/keyboard controllers, etc...
