Dual monitors in different orientations.

There are very few 24" monitors that have a 1920x1200 resolution though. The vast majority are 1920x1080

They would need to be a fair deal deeper than mine, even the ones with holes in them. Thanks for the link.

In the photo I just scaled the window to the size of the page - you will note there is some unused screen space above the window, so you can still have a viewable area the same size as A4 - even with some window furniture, toolbars etc. However if you want it slightly larger, then

28" or 16:9 would definitely exceed A4 even with toolbars.

Mine is an Artic Z2-3D:

You can either clamp it to the edge of a desk, or bolt it directly onto a surface. You can adjust the tightness of all the movements, and also the amount of spring balance to set you monitor to balance properly. It has a USB 3 hub built into the base as well.

I normally supply those at £85.

Yup I quite like them - very crisp, linear picture with very good brightness and colour consistency over the full screen. It's aimed at pro publishing and graphics users really. It is ok for games, and not bad for video. It is not HDR though. One interesting quirk is that the bezel is embossed with actual ruler ticks for working to physical scales. They have HDMI, DVI (dual channel), and Display Port, and mini display port inputs, as well as USB 3 hub (newer ones have USB - With display port support on USB)

My version is about £395 now. There is a 4K one in the same size. Also a

31.5", 32" versions as well as a 34" Ultra Wide version.

The PA328QV is the same spec as mine, but with a 31.5" screen. (I can do you one of those for £640!). The PA329CV is the full 4K version, and the PA329CRV the same with HDR. (£816, and £830 respectively)

I have my screens at a similar height - with the top slightly above my eyeline - the height partly dictated by keeping enough space under the screens to be able to access the desk under / behind them. With varifocal lenses I find a small amount of head movement is required to get perfect focus on the bit I am looking at. I have them at arms length such that my finger tips just reach the screen while sitting up straight (ish)

I prefer having a pair of screens rather than one huge one - I get the space if an ultra wide screen (21:9) but it also means that for things like games playing or watching video you can use one more conventional aspect screen (and ignore or turn off the other) rather than have motion sickness inducing moving images on a physical screen space that is significantly larger than that which you can look at "as a whole".

I'll recheck my measurements; I've obviously gone amiss somewhere.

Thanks for the info on the mount: I'll take a look.

FWIW, the vertical height of the screen on mine is 34cm, so that leaves you a tad over 3cm for window gubbins and menus etc.

(I did consider going up to the next size, but since I wanted a pair of them that was a significant jump in cost - also I don't have a KVM switch that can cope 4K anyway)

If I've got my numbers right 2 sheets of A4 in portrait ought to fit on a 24 inch screen. Easily, sideways! Look for pixels though, not just screen size - you're probably getting to the point where 1920x1080 will have visible pixels.

You've made me realise how lucky I am to have a 4k TV as a monitor. And the space to put it!
