trying to find monitors that rotate to tall "portrait" mode

[bluemax]

I know there's quite a few out there, but very few ADVERTISE this very cool feature!

What's the keyword I'm looking for? Or does anyone know a list somewhere?

I love running a monitor TALL rather than WIDE!

My Gateway 24" & 21" do this.

My Dell 2005FPW does this too. You'll find this feature on a lot of the widescreen monitors but I also know of a few older flat screens that do this as well (I believe the Dell 19" does this).

Ain't it great? It's awesome for web browsing, long lists, and MAME (especially those old top-down scrolling shooters!)

Ohhhh.... you mean the "search" function that works on every site BUT Anandtech.

Maybe they fixed it and I didn't get the memo. Search brought up nothing with my attempts...

Whoa! I was asking about monitors, not video cards and 3D junk. Oh well. Close enough to video... hope these video-card junkies know something about monitors too.

I would imagine viewing angles should also be very good if planning to use portrait mode, eh? The mid-grade HP LCD I used at work had a bit of unpleasantness when viewing what would normally be the "underside". Drove some people nuts if they came to my desk and tried to read my screen (50% of the time they actually needed to.)

EDIT: A little more poking around has revealed TN panels suck. (Especially in portrait mode - lousy viewing angles!)

These monitor-makers ever say what tech is used in their monitors? (Will they SAY it's a TN panel?)

On the non-WS side, the HP LP2065 I just got does it (S-IPS) and the Samsung 204B does also (TN).

For the most part, TN panels have atrocious viewing angles.

My BenQ 24" does this.

 

[hans007]

sadly the nec 20wmgx2 DOESNT.

an aftermarket VESA stand is always an option.
