How we ranked these

This is a tier list, not a strict spec sort. Pixel density and screen size lead, then the maker-published pivot and height-adjustment figures, then price. Every number is the maker’s own figure from its official page, and where a page lists no price the pick says Not published. The HP price is an MSRP from HP’s own store listing. The LG 28MQ780-B DualUp 16:18 monitor was left out because LG’s own US page marks it DISCONTINUED. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
