Decent rotatable lcd monitor?

Post by Square King »

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. :mrgreen:

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.

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.

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.
