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.

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)
