Looking for monitors to use in a vertical-horizontal set up

[Guest]

Hi,

I currently have a Dell u2713hm and am looking for a monitor that would line up with my u2713hm when used vertically. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Let me see if I understand this...

Your Dell 27" LCD is in landscape mode, right?

And You want a smaller LCD that You will use in portrait mode, that will be the same height as the Dell when it's next to it...right?

Since Your Dell LCD has an adjustable height, the height of the stand does not really matter.

Yeah, I want a smaller one in portrait that will be the same height as my 27".

I know I could get any monitor in portrait, but I am a bit OCD when it comes to my monitors lining up unfortunately.

You have several different measurements, the height of the display area (the part that lights up,) and the height including the bezel. If You are OCD about the height, what about the color of the bezel? General styling? LEDs? Pixels per inch?

According to Dell.com (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=225-4015&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch) Your LCD is 14.89" tall including the bezel, without the stand. According to another of Dell's web pages (http://www.dell.com/bg/business/p/dell-u2713hm/pd) Your monitor has a display area of 23.49 inches by 13.22 inches.

Most 17" LCDs (with a 4:5 standard aspect ratio) are close, but only a few will look anything like Your monitor, and have an adjustable stand that allows for portrait mounting.

A Dell 1704FPVt allows rotation, and is adjustable for height. According to Dell's PDF (http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics/esuprt_Display/dell-1704fpv_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdf?c=us&l=en&cs=&s=gen) it is 14.8 inches "wide." It's display area is 13.3 inches by 10.6 inches. This is as close as I can get.

14.89 inches vs 14.8 inches (including the bezel)
13.22 inches vs 13.3 inches (display area)
Is this close enough? They are both Dells, and both have adjustable stands.

The 1704FPVt is an older monitor, and will only be found used (or maybe refurbished.) They start at $60 on Ebay.

Thanks a lot, this should work out well. I guess when it comes to this type of set up a 20"-30"-20" would work out better than having a 27" monitor in the center.
