Monitor comparison table to the rescue. OK, well this table shows computer monitor that are highly recommended in this forum and good to excellent rating in reviewed by divers review sites. They are all interesting, and all good value for your money. The idea of the table that I made, is to present a run down of all the features of each monitor, to make it easier for one to choose the best monitor that fits his or her needs. In addition, you will find 3 tabs at the bottom, the first one is the comparison table, the second explains features and explains what each panel technology strength and weaknesses, and the last one is reserved for any notes. http://www.helpweaver.com/monitor/monitor comparison.htm Enjoy!
hmm, not sure that was the question tbh, which monitor is going to work well in portrait next to a 16:10 24", so im guessing scale and adjustability of the stand is more what he's asking
Yeah, the emphasis is on portrait mode, just looking for something that has a pivot stand and is roughly the same height in portrait mode as my primary in normal mode.
That's either incorrect Specs, as a 16:10 1080 screen would be 1728x1080, or they're doing 16:10 by size, in which case, that's some wierd-ass pixel shapes.
Yep, your right, it is a typo on the site. Just checked the model no. on some different sites. There are a lot of site quoting 16:10 on different make of 24" monitor 1920x1080.
Does it need to be pixel perfect in height? If not then just pick yourself up a cheap 20" 1600x900 monitor.
Probably best to check the actual dimensions of the monitors you're looking at purchasing in relation to the actual height of your own one, rather than basing it on resolution.
Nah, i'm only concerned about the physical height of the panel in portrait mode. I am not basing it on resolution. In fact i'm not basing it on anything, i'm asking what would work nicely for me.
http://www.digitaltigers.com/zenview-powertrioelite.asp You want a 17". Unless you are going for a flanking monitor on each side, I would suggest just getting a 20" 4:3 monitor and use that instead of the 17 in portrait. I got a 17 to use with my 24 and it very rarely gets turned portrait. If you plan on throwing video on the 2nd screen, go with a bigger screen instead of portrait perfection.
But that would be taller than my primary. 17" 4:3 looks good, i even found some that do pivot. I noticed that my laptop's 15.6" widescreen is a pretty good match, but they don't seem to be very availalbe as standalone screens. Thanks merple.
