monitor was in the corner

Post #440,248 by lincoln 10/31/21 6:05:10 PM 10/31/21 6:05:10 PM Reply	monitor was in the corner where I have my table set up. PC right next to it. Maybe enough room for something 27" wide, probably no more. I don't do any photo editing. I never bought a video card so I'm using the built-in video on the motherboard (I'm not a gamer so I'm fine with that). Looked at Best Buy's web site - nearly every low priced monitor is unavailable. Newegg wasn't much better. They do have some refurbished square LCD monitors but I'm leery about 2nd hand equipment.

Years ago I had a refurbished Hitachi 1600x1200 tube that was great, but only lasted a year or so. I hated it when LCD monitors went to 16x9 - it's horrible for spreadsheets, etc. There are still a few monitors that can rotate to Portrait mode. That might be a decent compromise if you need the vertical space. https://webtrainingguides.com/best-vertical-monitor/ Good luck! Cheers, Scott.

Other components are more durable, but for those 2 I'll buy new for peace of mind.
