$500 is your max budget and 1080p is even a consideration?
We have a bunch of these at work and I like them. For $500 you can almost get 2 of them. You can also get a cheap 4k display with a VESA mount for like $200 + a monitor arm for like $50 and move the display wherever you want. As long as the display isn't TN it'll be fine.
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.
Almost any monitor can do that. If the stand won't rotate, get one with a VESA-compatible mount and you can just rotate the mounting plate, since the bolt pattern is a square.
Scrounge at flea market or thrift shop, $20 or so. Maybe no swivel, but if you want it vertical just rotate it or get two of them.
I am going to throw one away soon.
The new, bigger ones with 27" and 2.5k came at 150€ each. Fujitsu something, IPS panel. Don't know about the rotation though, I don't have that much space at my desk.
Honestly, your required specs are basically any monitor on the market at this point, you can rotate the display orientation of any monitor with settings baked into any OS you're likely to be using
You probably won't even need to spend $100 for a 60hz 1080p monitor
If you can't find one with an adjustable stand that's to your liking, just look for one that can use a VESA mount and get another stand for it, probably less than $50
You can probably get 3 monitors and stands for your budget and still have enough left over to grab lunch.
Unless you have some gaming, graphic design, etc. needs you haven't disclosed, I don't think it's worth getting too hung up on this, even cheap monitors tend to last a pretty long time
I think that he's wanting a physically-rotating-at-runtime mount. Like, where you can just swivel the monitor and use it in another orientation.
You can get VESA mounts that rotate, but there has to be some way to automatically tell the OS to change orientation.
Radius used to make monitors like this for the Mac.
Yes, I'm looking for one that can rotate on its stand, instead of needing to mount it vertically.
I'll clarify that in my post
Yeah, there's plenty of VESA mounts that will allow you to rotate the monitor, move it up/down, side-to-side, and tilt it forwards and backwards as needed
As for ones that will automatically change the orientation that things are being displayed when you turn the monitor from portrait to landscape, if that's what you're looking for, that's a tougher nut to crack, I'm sure they're out there but they're not common, or (last I checked) cheap. But changing the orientation is as simple as Ctrl+Alt+arrow key (I think some newer Intel display drivers have changed that, but I haven't looked too far into that)
