Vertical Stacked Monitor Setup

[arlight1]

Hi guys, I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me in choosing a monitor that I will purchase two of to mount to a stand.

Due to desk constraints, I really don't have the option of side-by-side dual monitors, so I looked into vertical stacked monitors.
Basically, my question is whether or not there are any monitors out there for my budget and mounting needs.

I'm looking at a $400 max budget for the two monitors. The mount itself must be vertical. In particular, I was able to find a rather decent one it appears, but I am not hip to procedure or requirements for physically mounting the monitors. Here is the one I have found:
Vertical mount

Are there any decent monitors to fit a mount like that and stay under (combined) $400?

I mostly play PC games, watch movies, etc. so I figured it was time to update from this older 720p 1600x900.

Thanks for the time and help!

Your old screen is technically 900p since all computer screens are progressive.

If you want to mount screens in this way you will have to pick them with care because TN panels get very dark and sometimes the colors go inverted when you look at them from the bottom. VA and IPS would look fine up high. I personally like VA, but they are not the fastest screens for gaming.

This leaves IPS as the option you may want bearing in mind they have a side effect called "glow" that can be an issue on dark scenes when not sitting right in front of it(and even in front on ultra wide screens).

While I do not have models for you to look at, I HIGHLY recommend checking out screens at a local store to get an idea of what they look like from the distance below you will be seeing a screen from.

Not even thinking about this my girlfriend just said why not angle the top screen. Why did I not think of that one

This is exactly what I plan to do. The stand that I linked apparently has the ability to angle the top monitor to have it point directly at the user. So I suppose that would resolve the issues mentioned with TN panels, and any problems one might see with darkness.

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure how to even begin looking for a (gaming?) monitor <$200 and with the mount support.

Unfortunately, I live very far from some of the larger department stores that have these monitors, and quite rarely have the time to go visit them.

The online reviews are going to be best.

Pick a store you can shop at(online or not) and try to see reviews from various websites.
At least this will give you an idea what to expect.

Places like TFT Central even have images of the screens at various angles to judge just how much color shift to expect. Even with a stand that tips it forward, you will see some shift on TN panels, but it is much less than having it 90 degrees to the desk for sure.

If TN panels are all you have used and look fine to you, they are going to be the lowest prices monitors as well(a side effect is the tend to be faster in exchange for viewing angles and color accuracy[they are not THAT bad for color or they would not sell so many]).
