For years I've used an old 19" LCD in portrait mode next to a new-ish 24". The display heights (after rotating the 19") are identical, and the vertical resolutions are almost identical (1080 vs 1024). It's a cheap/free way of getting a wider screen. Usually I keep some paper or reference document on the 19" and have two side-by-side terminals on the 24".
