    Pivoting Monitor

    Hi,

    I'm trying to find a monitor which will pivot, in the 20-22" range, but there doesn't seem to be much info on these. Either shop ads don't say that certain monitors pivot, or there aren't many around at the moment. Anyone got any ideas?

    At work we changed the mounts to allow the correct amount of pivot, just check for VESA standard. Not cheap though.

    Buy a cheap(ish) stand, or look at the higher end monitors for full pivot&twist stands (even more money) PS I think he means twist not pivot)

    Re: Pivoting Monitor

    If by pivot you mean from landscape to portrate then the Samsung 2443 does this as standard, is 24" though so maybe too big?

    Yep, I mean from landscape to portrait. They have to fit on a desk with another normal monitor and a scanner...
