Vertical monitor

WickedStarfish · September 21, 2019

I am looking at getting another monitor (currently run 2 monitors (a 60hz one and a 144hz one) which i use for media consumption and gaming respectively) and am thinking about adding another monitor on the right of my 144hz one that will mainly be used for discord or other information consumption that would make use of a verticle monitor (long files and web pages maybe even social media) but i have a few requirements of this monitor which is where i am struggling to find one and would appreciate some help

1. Needs to be from an australian retailer preferably somewhere like officeworks, PCcasegear, harvey norman or good guys for ease of collection as delievery to where i live costs an arm and a leg for some weird reason

2. The default stand for the monitor needs to support a verticle mode (as buying a 3 monitor stand will be more expensive than just getting a monitor that supports the stand)

3. Needs to be as cheap as possible as this monitor is not really important it is more for convience so I dont want to spend $500au on a monitor that I will only use when I play games with others.

any ideas or help would be appreciated, I am about to go to work so I wont see any replies for about 7 and a half hours (I might have a look on my phone on my break if I remember)

Have you thought about getting a used one? Or do you really wanna pay full price?

I second used eBay for this.

I have actually picked up free monitors for this purpose but they didn't rotate. I was Ok with that and still have one of them!

Sorry about the late reply

I have always been a bit iffy about buying second hand (not sure why, maybe it's a feeling that I know what i am getting), I will have a look on eBay though when I get on my pc (currently replying on my phone and won't be near my pc for probably an hr or 2)
