Lot of monitors can be oriented so they are vertical, but that requires the driver to also support that, and to flip within the OS. So if you are viewing the bios, or a live CD, or anything not part of the primary OS, it will be 90 degrees off. Even within Windows there will be things like power point presentations, games etc that wont show up properly.
Do they make monitors that are actually natively vertical? I hate how all newer monitors are wide screen now, that cuts out on the amount of vertical area, and makes it take up more room. I plan to later on go with 3 monitors, but with wide screen I would have no room, so I'd want them to be vertical.
At work I have 3 that are vertical, but it's "faked" using the orientation setting of the driver, and it can be a real pain sometimes. I can't open anything such as a powerpoint presentation or all the icons get scattered all over the place, the other two monitors screw up etc... I'm hoping there are monitors that are this orientation natively so there's no "middle man" (the driver) involved, and no OS dependance. So is there such thing?
Also, a side note, but how do people with 3 or more monitors deal with it? I find Windows has lot of trouble with it, and often screws up. Like after a reboot usually everything resets and has to be reconfigured. Sometimes one or two of them wont even turn on and have to be reenabled, the icons are always all reset etc... maybe Linux is better for this? I do plan to switch to Linux eventually, so maybe that's my best bet?
