Looking for vertical side monitors. Please help.

Hello everyone.

 

I have a VG278Q (27inch, Full HD, 1ms, 144Hz). I was interested in getting two monitors that I can align vertically next to this main one and have them flush with this main monitor.

The purpose is for work mainly so that I can add extra information on the sides that I might need to access while working on the main one. I know it's odd to try to make this happen but I have limited desk space and I don't need full sized side monitors.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would love the setup to look something like this image bellow:

a 27" 16:9 monitor is about 59.77x33.62cm*.

So you're looking for a monitor, which width is about equal to your current monitor's height. Correct? Because that would be a 15.2" 16:9 monitor (which would be 33.65x18.93cm)*.

 

Most 'normal' monitors coming in sizes from 20-22" and larger, while 15.6" (the closest 'normal' size compared to 15.2" is more common) is a lot less common in conventional monitors. 15.6" is more common in laptops and portable monitors. So maybe salvaging laptop screens and adding a driver board is the closest to what you want?

Or maybe just another 27" is the best option, to just place it next to your current monitor (you would need some more space for it though).

 

*Keep in mind these units are assuming there are no bezels on the monitors, just straight up math to figure out the screen size based on diagonal size + aspect ratio.
