Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX - Gadget or Necessity
by Matt Ryan
The use of two monitors, known as dual monitoring, has been
around for over a decade. The idea, behind having two
monitors, is to allow individuals to accomplish their work
in a more efficient productive manner. One of the downfalls
is the amount of space that two decent sized monitors will
take up on any given desk.
Samsung is known for their high quality and variety of
monitors. They have recently added, to their already popular
product line, a brand new concept - a dual monitor setup in
one. This system consists of a 22-inch and 7-inch monitor
that takes up the space of only one 22" unit. This new
concept is to provide the same efficiency that two full
sized monitors offer. The idea behind it is to use the
7-inch monitor for secondary applications like instant
messaging, and the 22-inch monitor for your primary
applications.
The larger monitor is the primary monitor. With a 1680 x
1050 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ration, and 5ms response
time, this monitor is no different from a standard
standalone unit. The one difference is that you must use a
USB 2.0 port along with a DVI, HDMI, or VGA connection to
connect the monitor to your computer.
The secondary monitor, 7-inch, was intentionally designed as
such. With a resolution of 800 x 480, response time of 30ms,
and contrast ratio of 400:1, this monitor is best used with
smaller applications like instant messaging or video
conferencing.
The secondary monitor attaches nicely to the primary
monitor, taking up much less real estate on your desk. It is
attached via a pivotal arm that allows you to rotate the
monitor to the perfect position. Additionally, the 7-inch
monitor can be adjusted to either landscape or portrait
layout, whichever you prefer.
The secondary 7-inch monitor can function as more than just
an attachment to the 22-inch monitor. The smaller of the two
can also be used as a standalone monitor or even a digital
picture frame. This smaller monitor was also designed to be
used as a secondary monitor for laptops - if desired.
With the integration of a webcam, speakers, and microphone,
the Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX can also be used as a
telecommunication platform. There is no need to install
additional hardware of software; it is ready to be used
out-of-the-box. (The 7-inch monitor is great for the video
portion of web conferencing.)
This unit sells for around $550. While this is a bit pricey
compared to a standard 22-inch monitor, there is additional
functionality and convenience in the SyncMaster 2263DX.
It all comes down to what is most important to you. If you
are considering dual monitoring then you obviously, need a
solution that will help you to work more productively. The
big question is space and budget. If you are willing to
spend the extra dough, for the latest technology, then this
is a great buy. If space is not an issue and budget is, then
waiting for the price to drop might be the best alternative
(or purchase two separate monitors). - 15668
