Alright so I have been using dual monitors recently but I have a 24" and 23" monitor. I use the 23" monitor for my secondary, but it's too big. Can anyone recommend a solid 1920x1080 monitor that is < 23" and will go well with my 120hz benq 24" monitor? I would greatly appreciate it.

There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want.

I have the room on my desk but it looks very sloppy from the user's perspective. Since the 2 monitors are very big, I have to put them very far apart, so the end - to - end of the 2 together is very far.

I think a picture of your desk would be helpful. Why do you have to put them far apart?

I use my second monitor in landscape portrait mode. I find it easier to read or write with the that format. (Also it's great for having two pop out streams at the same time). Try that before buying a whole new monitor IMO (you might have to make a bracket yourself).

edit3: second is only a 19inch (14x9)

They are touching, but since one is 24" and other is 23" i have to put one all the way to the left and the other to the right (the inside edges touch). It is just too large to comfortably use 2 monitors. What I want is my main monitor in the center and another monitor off to the right tilted diagonally a bit.

EDIT: this is my other acc btw

For compact setups you might want to consider a 2nd monitor in portrait mode. That's probably the most space saving thing you can go for.

Yeah portrait mode is the best as some programs you actually benefit from greater depth rather than width.

This is what I do and it's great for longish documents.

I actually have a 4:3 monitor on the right, and a portrait mode widescreen on the left. When I want to watch a movie or other long video in widescreen, I rotate the left monitor and change my setup using displayfusion.
