Looking to make my third monitor a vertical monitor. Don't want to spend too much on it as it'll mostly be fore looking through forums, chan, and document reading.
Should I invest in a new one or is there older models I can find and buy? I know of vesa mounts, but a lot of older monitors may not be compatible with it, so something that already allows rotation is preferred.
honestly just buy one with a vesa mount. The built-in ones usually suck, and having a clamp-mount is so much cleaner.
Lots of new monitors don't have vesa mounts, so they either need adapters or won't work at all.

When you say buy one with a vesa mount, you're saying to buy a vesa one and then a compatiable one OR are you saying get one that already has a vesa mount? But from your post, you're saying to avoid the ones with build in vesa mounts?

I have three monitors. all three are positioned vertically. horizontal screens are for plebs. if you have a TV, you don't need a tiny horizontal screen with shit vertical resolution.
just get an older monitor with a stand that can be rotated into vert position. they are super-cheap now.

got any recommended models? Trying to avoid the ones that only tilt. and monitors on craigslist never show whether they can swivel vertically or not but I guess I'll just ask their owners
mg279q or the g-sync equivalent

Done.

if you're paying more than $70, you're paying too much. Just buy nice 22-24" panels for cheap and either use the stand they came with or buy a cheap VESA mount. It's not hard.
Is this thing inevitably 16:9? It sounds like 16:10 could be better for this purpose. And 21:9, errr, 9:21 would be right out?
