Best Vertical Monitors: Definitive Guide(2023 Updated!)

If you are looking for the best vertical monitor for your desk setup for Coding, Reading, Work, gaming, and other purposes, this guide would help you in choosing the right one.

Some of the most important factors to consider include screen size, resolution, viewing angle, refresh rate, and response time.

Why Should you Trust Me? Hi, I am Anirban Saha, an Engineer with a Specialization in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I have experience in Smart TVs, Electronics circuits, and Computer peripherals.

A vertical monitor, also known as a portrait monitor, is a monitor with a vertical display that is taller than it is wide. This differs from the more common widescreen monitors which are wider than they are tall. It is great if you are planning to have a multiple monitor setup in your workspace.

Let’s get started!

Factors to look at before choosing a Vertical Monitor

When buying Vertical Computer Monitors, consumers should be aware of some of its various features.

To emphasize, there are the monitor’s specifications, ergonomics, and display quality. Quality displays can be expected to last longer. 

Ergonomics is the ability to adjust the monitor’s orientation, tilt, and height to suit the user.

Tilt and height are especially essential for artists and designers. 

Artists need to see their work in a way that’s easier for them to work on; while tilt is useful for several reasons.

For one, it can help the user view the screen without straining or tilting their neck.

1. Size

A vertical monitor would take less space compared to a horizontal monitor. So, you can choose a bigger size for a vertical monitor.

A lot of people have a lot of different preferences for their relative monitor sizes, but you’ll find that a lot of people stick to a 24, 27, or 32-inch monitor.

Here are some of the different things to keep in mind when choosing your vertical monitor size.

The 27-inch is a good middle ground between the two while the 32-inch is a bit larger and you might prefer to have a bigger screen if you sit closer to your monitor or use multiple monitors.

2. Viewing angle

While coding and Reading on a vertical monitor if you look at the monitor from an angle then looking at the viewing angle is a must.

For work involving multiple viewers, who even looking from an angle may feel the colors are dull and washed out if the viewing angles of the monitor are poor.

So, if we get a display with great viewing angles, then it is excellent.

3. Resolution

You may prefer a Full HD or a 4k vertical monitor for your workspace. You can choose from these as it won’t matter much for a display of 24, 27, and 32 inches.   

If you are into graphic design, then you can consider a 4k Display monitor.

4. Refresh Rate and Response Time of the Monitor

Refresh Rate determines how fast the display refreshes and the colors are reflected.

The Response time is also important and if the response time gets higher then it will feel there is a lag occurring in the display.

Choosing a Refresh rate of even 60 Hz is advisable for normal work and reading unless you are playing games.

If you are choosing a vertical monitor that you would use as a gaming monitor which you would play turning this 90-degree, then you can choose high Refresh rate monitors.

A response time under 5ms is good.

4. Budget

Budget is an important factor in choosing a vertical monitor. A vertical monitor of high-end specs would be very high in terms of budget. 

However, if we are choosing within our budget, then we need to look for a balanced performance monitor which is worth the price.
