I’m in the market for a monitor for programming. Ideally:
- A monitor that can be adjusted vertically
- A monitor that can rotated 90 degrees, so the long side is vertical
Either one of these (or both) specifications is preferred, though both is not necessary. I’m on a budget, so nothing more than $500 USD.
Display rate doesn’t matter (60hz is fine), and 1080p is fine too.
Anyone know of any good monitors like this?
Edit: By “rotated 90 degrees”, I’m referring to the monitor being able to rotate on its stand, not being mounted on its side.

Honestly, your required specs are basically any monitor on the market at this point, you can rotate the display orientation of any monitor with settings baked into any OS you’re likely to be using
You probably won’t even need to spend $100 for a 60hz 1080p monitor
If you can’t find one with an adjustable stand that’s to your liking, just look for one that can use a VESA mount and get another stand for it, probably less than $50
You can probably get 3 monitors and stands for your budget and still have enough left over to grab lunch.
Unless you have some gaming, graphic design, etc. needs you haven’t disclosed, I don’t think it’s worth getting too hung up on this, even cheap monitors tend to last a pretty long time
