question for those of you with dell ultrasharp monitors

[Rallispec]

i've noticed in the past that the monitors can easily be rotated 90 degrees when mounted to the base.... whats the purpose of this?---- is thier any way i can rotate the desktop image to match my rotated monitor so that I don't have tilt my head to read the text?


(yeah, this probably useless and i'm not sure what the advatage is of having my monitor in 'portrait' mode instead of 'landscape' mode.... if nothing else it'd be interesting to play around with)

--looking on Nvidia's site now to see if it's setting on the video card i never knew about. (geforce fx 5200) --- and i'm sure if i ever do figure it out, i'll be screwed becuase i'm running dual monitors and they'll never work how i want them to.

I run my 2005FPW in Portrait mode all the time for viewing webpages and such....the option to rotate the screen will be somewhere in your video drivers (let me check specifically).

Edit: If you have relatively new drivers, there should be an NVRotate section.

it should have come with drivers that will rotate everything

Which monitor do you own and did you pay retail?

Look on the driver CD for the "porno edition" drivers. That's why you're able to rotate it.
