Alright so right now I'm using a 24" benq 120hz monitor. I am trying to find a secondary monitor to use that I can use in portrait mode (vertical, so monitor must be able to be vertical instead of the normal horizontal state). I don't have too much room on my desk, which is why I cannot use both monitors horizontally.

Does anyone know of a quality vertical monitor that I can purchase? Preferably one that uses HDMI since my current monitor is connected via the dual link dvi on my monitor/computer. Also, a resolution of 1920x1080 would be nice as well.

If you use a monitor stand, can't any widescreen monitor be turned to be used vertically? My left monitor is 1920x1080 and I have it vertical most of the time.

hmm I suppose any monitor could be put vertically that way. Good idea. I just need to find a vertical stand though that I can use on my old asus vg236h

Edit: Do you know of any reliable single monitor vertical stands? Many I've seen are for dual monitors to fit 2 on one stand.

do you think this would work with an Asus VG236H? http://www.amazon.com/3M-Easy-Adjust-Monitor-Stand-MS110MB/dp/B0013CD0DI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1363572361&sr=8-4&keywords=vertical free standing monitor

EDIT 2: just looked at my asus monitor. a stand won't work on it. the connection of the vg236g is built in and can't be taken off

Do you mean vertical as in putting it above your current monitor? Or rotating it 90 degrees?

I don't know what other stands should work; I just use a 2 monitor stand with rotating arms :p

Certain monitors have the rotating stand (Mainly the ones focused for business users with height adjustment features). The keyword to look for is: PIVOT on product description.

You can of course buy the arms and use them but your monitor have to be able to support VESA mount (Most do however some times you can get caught)

yeah mine doesn't connect from the back on the flat pane, it connects from underneath. if you look up Asus vg236h you'll see what I mean. I may just purchase a second monitor that can pivot. do you recommend any?

Hey this is me on my new account.

I can't because my bed is directly the the right of where the bed ends. Plus, I like a horizontal/vertical setup more.
