Decent rotatable lcd monitor?
I'm about to buy a new PC and would love a widescreen lcd monitor I could rotate for tate shooters. What's readily available out there and not too expensive (let's say sub-$200 for now)? Dell's made a few but I don't know of any current models that will tate out of the box.

I have a Dell screen here at work that rotates and tates, the model number is P2010Ht.

I have a Dell U2311H at home currently and can confirm it can pivot. It has no HDMI input however, so if you want to hook up a 360 you'll need either the VGA cable for it or a HDMI->DVI cable/adapter.

Searching for P2010Ht gives me a rotatable Dell stand, which is close.kamiboy wrote:I have a Dell screen here at work that rotates and tates, the model number is P2010Ht.
Hmm...this one might work fine. My 360 doesn't have HDMI so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. Although I might want it for other applications. I'll look into that one.StarCreator wrote:I have a Dell U2311H at home currently and can confirm it can pivot.

Re: Decent rotatable lcd monitor?
It's my full time monitor at home - I wanted pivot, not-TN film, and insignificant input lag, and it seems to succeed at all three. It's a cheaper variety of IPS but's still way, way better than any TN I've ever seen.Square King wrote:Hmm...this one might work fine.

Going to buy Samsung F2080 as soon as the budget allows (going through a bottleneck atm). Very nice specs for its price, pivoting, a *VA matrix, and reportedly very low input lag (<1 frame with RTC disabled) as well, which is probably the most important. Not quite close to $200, but still way below $300 here.

That is strange, P2010Ht was what is written on a tiny tap beside the monitor that slides out with some info printed on it. That stand that shows up is certainly the one that I have on my work monitor, but they came together if I am not mistaken.Square King wrote:Searching for P2010Ht gives me a rotatable Dell stand, which is close.
