New A portrait-capable monitor might be another option.
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.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.

And that's why I'll skip refurbished monitors - ditto for refurbished hard drives. Other components are more durable, but for those 2 I'll buy new for peace of mind.
