friendly greetings ! i received my 3D Glasses a few hours ago, and have a Samsung 2233RZ since last week.
my very first impression : awesome ! (when the game have a good support)
my second impression : it distract me a lot and i have a tendency to explore everything (lot of eye activity) and i finally switch to 2D after 10~30mn.
is it normal ? is it less "intense" after being used to 3D Vision ?
thank you

Yes it's most likely the muscles in your eyes getting retrained to focus in a new slightly different manner than they're used to. Happened to me too, and I could really feel it at first since I am really sensitive to those kinds of things.. It should go away after some 'practice' :)

i seen the movie avatar in 3D (in a movie theater, not at home) without fatigue... but i was still a bit worried :)

like 'dreamingawake' said, it takes practice - slowly but surely your eye's / brain will 'learn' and get accustomed to the 3D, in time your hardly ever feel any strain and will spend all your gaming time in 3D.

Mate, no worries,
When I first maxed out depth, which you can do with your 23" monitor, I played NFS:Shift for a few hours until I had to drive somewhere. I felt really wierd and nearly had to stop and ask my wife to take over. Everything felt unreal. I have played car games for hours on end and have never felt funny. I felt funny for a short while later then then after a sleep the feeling went and I never felt the sensation again.
I'll repeat, I have never felt the sensation again. I put it down to my brain being somewhat fooled by the 3D! Pretty cool.
I only play games in 3D now. 2D looks flat and fake if you ask me. I now would rather play a game in 3D on minimum settings than in 2D on max settings - any day! :)

I watch all media in 3d if i can.
The key to reduce eye fatigue is using proper settings and balancing the separation and convergence well. It takes some practice before you get a hang on the settings but the key is to "listen" to your eyes when you adjust 3d. It comes with time. And don't worry: It's not harmful, but the eyes and brain needs to learn a new way to see depth without refocusing (like the eyes do in natural world). Eventhough: Extreme or simply unbalanced settings will cause eyestrain even on the most hardnecked 3d-user.

i played the RUSE demo for a few hours (absolutely mind-blowing) and slowly added depth as i got more and more used to 3D.
No fatigue at all (other than the usual fatigue that come from playing games for a few hours, of course, but no eye problems)

Also get comfortable with adjusting your convergence, especially if you want a bit of popout. I've found that too much popout will cause heavy eye strain, but also if the convergence is so far "in" that it almost matches the depth, that too can cause strain.
I've never needed 100% depth, it's just too much for me. In fps games I always adjust convergence so my gun is roughly halfway out of the screen give or take a few inches depending on the games POV. Then have depth to my comfortable level which for me is about 35 to 60 % depending on the game. In 3rd person games the character I always set at screen depth, anything else behind the character will be popout, with a lower 35% depth setting. With proper convergence, even low depth setting can look [u]very[/u] convincing and not be causing eye strain in the slightest.
Depth/Convergence balance is key, can't stress that enough, especially in games without 3d ready profiles, of which there are hundreds.
Edit: Also wanted to add that your eyes are a muscle and need to be exercised and strenghened. I've never had any permanent harm done, and over time have increased a setting here or there. I can now game comfortably for hours.
