Second monitor suggestion for Dual monitor setup?

[BoraGurgen]

Hello everyone,

 

I have 4k 28" samsung monitor (Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor with Freesync support https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Bj1JybBKXDR6V) I want to buy second Led monitor for dual monitor setup. My current monitors height is 375mm. I want to buy something matches with this measurement but the problem is my desk is not big enough to have 2x28" monitors. So i need to buy something else. The first thing that came to my mind was to buy a monitor that, its width matches with height of my current one so i can use it 90 degrees turned. I found out that there are lots of possibilities. I found a 19" 5:4 Dell monitor (Dell Professional P1914S 19" Screen LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FZ2AQOI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iD1JybYG64R7Z ) that can be used 90 degrees. So what do you think ? Is that good or do you have any suggestion that i can buy? What disadvantages will i have with a 5:4 monitor. Please don't mind the tv. It will be gone.

 

Thanks

Bora

Hi,

 

Is your current monitor VESA-mount compatible? If yes, have you considered getting a dual arm VESA mount and another of the same monitor?

Don't do what I did and get a second monitor with a different size/brand and make it look extremely stupid. Just get the same exact monitor because if you do have two different monitors you'll have difficulties trying to get the two monitors to be the exact same color levels and trust me it'll be a pain. 

 

and yes get a VESA mounting arm for a cleaner look.

OR, you know, you could sell your current monitor and get a 34" ultrawide #ultrawidemustardrice
