Budget, adjustable monitor for programming? (lemmy.world)

I'm in the market for a monitor for programming. Ideally:

A monitor that can be adjusted vertically
A monitor that can rotated 90 degrees, so the long side is vertical

Either one of these (or both) specifications is preferred, though both is not necessary. I'm on a budget, so nothing more than $500 USD.

Display rate doesn't matter (60hz is fine), and 1080p is fine too.

Anyone know of any good monitors like this?

Edit: By "rotated 90 degrees", I'm referring to the monitor being able to rotate on its stand, not being mounted on its side.

I'd expect almost any computer/gaming monitor on e.g. Amazon around the $100~$150 (US) price range would meet or exceed your needs.

Edit: e.g. here's a glossy 27" for $99 and a matte version from a different brand for $159 (with some cheaper used options). I have an older monitor similar to the latter (from ~10 years ago). Finding ones that explicitly list "pivot" functionality for the stand is the trickier part of searching for these.

Or Costco, if you want to get a little more bang for your buck and maybe pick up a decent warranty.
