My old leisure machine monitor is shitting the bed.

Right. A 27" monitor in portrait mode is about the same size as 2x 19" on top of each other.

I am going to trust you on this one, I haven't checked it. But it sounds legit to me.

I have limited desk space

That's a hardware problem, but there solutions to that too.

Of course the resolution would need to be considered. If a FHD monitor (1920x1080) each of the "19s" would be 1080x960... double that if UHD monitor. I'd suggest the UHD... you can make text bigger enough through Windows.

That desk is too wide to fit in his room.

Which must be like Harry Potters bedroom, if you can only get a 19 inch monitor in there

All of you are over doing trading with those many monitors and huge 32" monitors. Good riddance,

There's beauty and efficiency in simplicity.
My advice to all traders....is to stop using complicated trading setups because you feel you have to and it looks cool and complicated.

Clear your desk of all of those electronics. and have just a modern notebook or tablet.
You'd feel instantly reborn with a minimal setup. And have a clear mind, and positive outlook,

A great trader can produce magical profits beyond your dreams with just a tablet.

If using a tablet works for your trading great but not everyone trades the same way. Hard to see a footprint chart on a tablet.

Well, the time has finally arrived for an upgrade/replacement.

The old monitor I have for my leisure PC is going through death throes. It's not even a backlight problem, it's some sort of motherboard problem inside the monitor. The thing turns on with the boot screen, but just slowly fades to white.

It is not the video card on the PC, verified with a different monitor.

It is a MAG innovision model 900w. 19" LCD, 16x9 format. Man, I really loved that screen. Alas, it must go away. But the thing is 15 years old! They don't make them like they used to!

It needs only a VGA output and nothing high performance, so here is what I am thinking for a replacement. Good reviews, but I hate the HP badge on it.

Anyone have thoughts on it?

How do you not have room for a monitor? What are you, trading inside of a bathroom stall?

Ever thought about getting a flat monitor hung on the wall? You can have as much crap on your desk as you want with the monitor out of the way. I got a nice one hung high so I can lean back on the computer chair while working. It's great

Movies, which are filmed in 16x9 widescreen format, would not look very good on a 9x16 monitor.

Because there are two other large monitors on the desk, in front of a window So no hanging on the wall! It's for leisure (movies/games), not trading!

Thanks for all the salad advice on if anyone had experience with HP-branded monitors and how reliable they were! Was just what I was looking for! Y'all were very helpful, NOT!

Present size is three LG 32 inch monitors. (1920x1080 HDMI VGA AMD FreeSync)

FHD resolution for 32" is quite terrible. At minimum you want QHD (1440p).
