Basically, I want a 2 monitor setup. my crappy 24 inch monitor (1920x1080) will be on the side, and I want a good monitor for games in the middle. however, I really don't want  my monitors to be at different heights, and if i buy this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025340 they will be. what's the best way to have the screens of the monitors be at the same height?

 

my current monitor is this: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T24C550ND-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00C18YUZU

I know this is $50 more, but if you got a 29 inch ultrawide, I'm pretty sure it's the same height as a 24-inch 16:9 monitor (running the numbers would require some trigonometry and I hate trigonometry, so someone else will have to run them).

It's literally 0.2 Inches (0.5 cm) taller than a 24 inch 16:9 monitor. that might be okay, it's probably not going to be noticeable
