When you go dual monitors, do they have to be exactly the same?
Last night I told my friend I wanted to get a second display, he offered one he was not using (an older, i think 19" square model) - I declined as I plan to soon purchase a second monitor as identical as possible to the one I have now. He seemed surprised by that. The multi-display thing is kinda new to me, at least for the home pc.
My current display is the Samsung SyncMaster 2343bwx which was listed as a 23.5", 20000:1, it does 2048x1152 which is nice, not limited to the "almighty 1080p".
Seems to be pretty much impossible to find the same monitor now.
I would like one of similar dimensions. I now understand that I won't be seeing anything beyond 1080p for the price I paid ($180).
Any recommendations? Feels so limiting to have only one display!
